No.s 3 and 4 stand out for me. No.7 is a great conversion job and there's many that appreciate selective colour.

1,2,5 and 6: I'm not a big fan of No. 1; it doesn't do anything for me as a photograph. Its unfortunate that you've lost the highlights in 2,5 and 6 because they have some interest. maybe you could teak them to rescue what you can? I keep looking at 6 and wondering if it could benefit a crop up to the drain cover..... might be worth a go though you will lose that sense of dramatic scale.

Some great work there, just hampered by the camera rather than the photographer :thumbs:

Thanks for your comments. Just had a quick go with #6, Croped from the drain cover upto the stop lights. Also had a play with the levels and smart sharpen.

wow - thats really brought out those great sky reflections in the windscreen - i like that a lot!! Only downside is the harsh sky and sunlight across the road. You dont really want to lose the shadow detail so maybe a really subdued layer for the sky and sunlight and a nice high-contrast layer for the windscreens and shadows?

I like the selective colour popped photos, so for me the last one you have there is very good.

Nice shots, I like the colour pop with the cab. I have loads of NY I must get round to scanning them, they are all on either slide or film. My favorite buildings are the Crysler building and the flatiron...Ian

I like them all but especially the last one. I can see why you wanted to print and hang that up!
