Thanks for the reminder. The PANO on top was shot and stitched with 12 photos.

Here are a few more of the area in b/w.... hope you like them. ALL of them, believe or not, was iso200, f/16, 1/160s. Thanks to the Sunny 16 rule...

Looks good Leung. It has a slight HDR look to it. Did you add sky in
between the buildings? Looks like it was pasted in. I could be wrong.

Well done anyway!

Hey Dez... thanks... I didn't paste any skies... it was there.

I have to agree with a previous poster. It is kind of boring. The lines take the eye all over the frame. Some lead out. Some lead in. The only thing I really found interesting was the truck about to run you over. ;) However, the focus, DOF, colors are all top notch.

I liked the B&W shots much better. They were all nicely focused on a subject. The pano though doesn't really have one ... at least to my eye.

nice shots overall...but I think your B&W conversion is lacking a certain punch. I see that you're going for more of a sepia tone, and that's fine. But, the one thing that I feel separates a good B&W from others is the contrast and depth that you create with the tones of black and white....easier said than done mind you.

For your shots, I would first boost the contrast, not enough to kill the detail, but enough to give your shots what they're missing.

Second, try using the "selective color" tool in PS. from the drop down list, play with the White, neutral, and black sliders (only move the "black" level in each). This will help you to separate the black tones from the middle-grey tones that your photos have.

Good luck!

My first impression of these shots was that the contrast and tone were quite pleasing... not all photographs have to be "punchy" and many fine art photographers like Paul Davies produce prints that most of us would consider flat. Subtlety is a lost art in the Digital Age!
 
Nice shots in B&W. I would've never thought of shooting razor ribbon
wire on a fence. Was that the auto tow pound behind the fence?

Actually... it's not a tow pound. It was just a lot with commercial and personal vehicles...
