dynamic

for reasons i can't begin to explain, i am posting only pure black and white images in my main album (except for flash of red on the 14th)... yes, this is still black and white, but i've added a smidgeon of tone to the shadows in LR and so it JUST.CAN'T.GO in my main album... i think i may need help ;p

anyhoo... posting this regardless (a) because i kind of like the shot, and (b) for my get pushed challenge set by @aecasey - to incorporate words within the frame of the photograph...

posting some random trees from yesterday's frigid-but-glorious lake Ontario walk in my main album...

[Simply Amanda]

So wonderfully geometric. So, are you getting sick of all this black and white?;-)

[Nancy]

Love that building on the right! Cool shot!

[Lisa Poland]

Love the squares and lines on the buildings!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[☠northy]

@amandal nope!

[☠northy]

@amandal adding tones can add depth to the image... It needed it here...

[Mary Downing Hahn]

I love the way you've framed the buildings with other, taller buildings. The lines make a great pattern. Not sure I understand why it's not a genuine black and white but I'm glad you posted it,

[☠northy]

@catwoman2 tx Mary... it is still considered black and white... but i added a bit of toner to it, so it's not pure black and white... if you put this next to the photos in my main album, you'd see what i mean... adding toner to a black and white image is quite common... as i said above, it can give depth to an image, as well as add warmth (or coldth ;p)...

I like the tone you have added to this shot. It makes it much more urban and gritty.

[Taffy]

Tiny words but I did find them. I do like the tone and agree with Ruth -- gives it a great gritty feel.

[Cat Whiskers - Nan]

Wonderful cityscape!

[☠northy]

@aecasey - another one for the challenge :)

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent

[Rosie Kerr]

Excellent lines and tinge of color... but I have to work to see it, so not too much. I like the jiggly reflection lines in the windows of the building on the right. I also like the non-symmetrical floor lines in the middle center buildings. So.. I hear you are chilly there, yes? Ouch.

[Debs Stott]

I like the toning and I had fun looking for the words. There is a lot to look at in this image, which I love - reflections, words, shapes...

[Archie Logical]

Impressive image, but adding tone! You should be ashamed of yourself ;)

[Barb]

love the shapes and lines

[Richard Sayer]

This is so main album worthy... and yes, your OOD is getting OOH (out of hand)!

[James_Nicholas]

Love this!

[gloria jones]

Super capture, composition, lines

[Ukandie!]

I like this, great cityscape.

[April]

I love the strong verticals and reflections, and how they framed the word.

[Rachel]

Great tones and processing!

[Spanner]

Nice tones processing and framing.

[Rachel Withey]

Love this shot - great composition and framing. Your commentary made me laugh as I made an agreement with myself that toning was ok for this month. We may be over-thinking this challenge!
