Existential Ennui

Finding myself uninspired by my shots, I etsooi into the twilight zone...

This is the flatiron building in Toronto... otherwise known as the Gooderham building... a more complete (and less etsooi'd) shot is here:

[Maggiemae]

It is very black here - contrasts are high in the picture!

[Valerie D]

Nice. Love the processing

[andy c]

like it... good processing

[KWind]

I like how dark the building is!

[Jim Nuttall]

Your uninspired shots work for me. I live about an hour from TO and look forward to wandering around the streets with my camera soon.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love how contrasty this. Gives it a very gritty feel.
I like the sign too. :)

[Katie]

Very graphic, I like it! I also like that when I googled 'etsooi'it came up with only 365 results. Trendy!

[Simply Amanda]

I love it! Contrasts are great. Sometimes overprocessing totally works:)! Cool shot, too!

[Junko Y]

Such deep contrast . . . creates visual interest nicely.

[Adam]

Never knew there was another Flatiron building. I see the similarities. Wonderful processing.

[T.J. =)]

Ooooh, very interesting shot! Great mix of brights and darks! Almost looks like a streetcar coming at you. Nice!

[Karen H]

Definitely more ennui. The other one looks more old fashioned. Very different feel.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Interesting architecture -- like the high contrast BW.

[beachradish]

I like the "no ped crossing" sign. With the pedestrian. :)

[Cromwell]

That's some old school architecture right there. A true classic.

I hear ya on being uninspired. I tried to change things up and posted some interesting art I stumbled upon. The comments from my followers took a huge nosedive! LOL!

[Lyn]

I love your black and whites, always!! I think this challenge had your name in the first line. . . beautifully done!

[Caroline]

Love the title! It doesn't actually look unispired, I like the intense contrast you found down that rabbit hole.

[joey d.Muli]

this is cool--we have also flat iron in NY...love the editing :)

[Carla]

love the high contrast and the look of that super black iron.

[Paula]

Oooh that reminds me I've got to reshoot the flatiron in Vancouver! Love the vintage look to this.

[Kd Wallis]

I live the contrasts! This looks awesome!

[Aleksandra]

I really like the way you've processed this!I also like the irony of the sign and the passing pedestrian, brilliant! I can't believe I'm the first to fav this!

[Kathy Burzynski]
