    h.delic: Thanks! I did try the photo with more contrast but I don't think it worked well. Some contrast has already been added compared to the original.

    Great perspective. We are exercising our own personal battle with pigeons at the moment. Still, I like your shot. (And I like to shoot, erm, photograph pigeons too).

    WoW!
    just sit back and take a minute out to enjoy the view!

  30. Discaciate (57 months ago | reply)

    Stunning shoot.
    What you did with the composition on this one is simply superb.
    I bet it would also look gorgeous on B&W (dunno if that's your thing).

  31. ZeroOne (57 months ago | reply)

    Thanks everyone!

    Discaciate: Thanks for the hint! I sure like a good B&W photo every now and then. I am, for example, quite pleased in how this one turned out:

    The Flatiron Tetralogy, Part One: Black and White

    Gotta love the Black & White adjustment possibilities in Photoshop CS3. :)
