hard to shot such subjects. well done.

ISO 200, 1/100, f/ยง.", 75mm

The first try is a bit darker and less contrasted than this one. But if I add contrast, I loose detail in highlights and shadows.

philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 1 year ago:

Ooops: f/ 6.3

lucdlb (Luc Dlb) added a critique 1 year ago:

Nice one, nice subject. But isn't it a bit saturated ?

oneye (Rodion Kovenkin) added a critique 1 year ago:

Good shot. I dont like it technically, but the photo is good. Well done.

forgingahead (Bob Foss) added a critique 1 year ago:

Hmmm, another of those "I don't like it..." with no explanation critiques. I like the brilliance of the color in this shot, it screams out the sensory overload that really expresses the essence of most Big Cities. I sure would not be tempted to add additional contrast here as that would probably push the highlights way over the edge into the realm of being blown out. A few of the signs have already gone that far, but in the overall mix of colors, they are ok.

philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 1 year ago:

Thanks, Bob, this is the kind of critique I requested. As I said , I made another version where the highlights are less blown out, but I have less details and contrast on the people. I wanted to know if there's a technique to preserve the details in the shadows AND the highlights...

What a cozy cavalvade of lights and colors!

But, since you've aasked for criticism... I would've tried a tighter crop maybe, leaving the dark building on the right out - and maybe even the pedestrians. But I'm not sure about the latter...

That's all my nitpicking self can be fed on :)))

philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 1 year ago:

You maybe right about the crop, but I like the "busy" feeling given by the pedestrians. Thanks for your comment, Bio (can I call you Bio?).
:O)

philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 1 year ago:

I know how you feel, Luca. ;O)

Dite (Aurora Demasi) added a critique 1 year ago:

I have never been here... oh my god how many lights and colours are there!! Beautiful shot, man :)

philippe (Philippe Reichert) said 1 year ago:

Thank you, Aurora (what a beautiful name!). I dreamed to see this for many years and I could make it only last year, but I was not disappointed!

We said: constructive criticism, Daniel!

Whatever, I love Starbucks coffee (and I'm going to have one at this place tomorrow morning...)
