A Quiet Street in Philadelphia

[denise ippolito]

Here is another image from my day shooting in Philadelphia. There were so many different images to capture there. This is a quick grab shot. I hand held it with my Canon 24-105mm lens and my 5D. I used Nik Color Efex and Photomatix Pro to complete the look. I know that the lamp doesn't look totally natural but this is the look that appealed to me. I'm looking forward to going back and capturing some more of these neighborhood images.

Nicely framed street scene. I found the image to be a bit flat so I took it into PS and gave it a levels adj which gave the image more pop

[Michael Zajac]

I don't think the image looks flat at all. Very nicely processed love it.

Thanks Dave for taking the time to comment. I am very happy with the amount of "pop" to the image.

Michael, Thanks for the kind words.

Denise, I like it a lot! Beautiful street walk view and the lamp works for me. Nicely processed.

I know that the lamp doesn't look totally natural but this is the look that appealed to me.

Isn't that the idea?
The lamp makes the image for me.

Denise, I have been a fan of B & W images with one object in color. I think you did a good job.
Well done.

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application, Denise

Might want a little more ... in mine, but Y I Y V ... as they say!

I do like the light. Nice touch.

Beautiful Denise. Lovely lines and perspective. The trees, sidewalk and steps make this for me..............I get a real feeling of a quaint neighborhood. The lamp light is cool, as it otherwise might have disappeared in thee rest of the image............

[Andrew McLachlan]

Denise, this is a beautiful street scene. Quite lovely, well done!

[Hazel Grant]

Clear, pops. this lamp also adds that OOTB element.

[Kerry Perkins]

I like this style that you use. It reminds of one you did of the front porch of a house, with only the flowers having a bit of color. It gives the image a hand-tinted look that is really nice. I love how my eye is pulled up the sidewalk to discover the people. Nice!
