JJ's Photoblog
Essex
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 6 January 2009 in Plant & Nature.
This past week on a couple of mornings I took a walk through a small part of central park, so here comes some shots from there
Was a bit dreary this morning so played with this a little and like the end result
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Raising out of the clutches of the tree and nicely focused to the top of the pair of high rises and finally the Essex. Good leading shot. Pleasure viewing.

The little touch of color is a great idea. Interesting effect and mysterious mood.

Good black and white. Evaluated halftones well. The first plane with the entangled branches, contributes dramatic quality to the image.
Greetings

The dreary morning came through nicely. The building almost looks haunted. Well done!

Oh yes, those buildings right up out of 'nowhere' it seems, but with the leaves of the trees you can see so much more. This is fantastic!

I agree. This is a very nice shot. I have found too that on these dreary days you can do amazing things with b/w.

And the results are really very effective. It's difficult to understand if it's a black and white shot or you just de-saturated the colours. In any case, it's a wonderful shot.

Very creepy feel in this one. I really like it. I'm normally not a fan of spot coloring, but you used it perfectly here. Great job.

Craig from United Kingdom
I like this one and I agree with the comment above that it looks a little scary, almost as if you're hiding behind the undergrowth in fear! The vignette sets it off well.
Have never seen this building in Essex....oh it's not that Essex!! ;O)
