This is spectacularly good! The composition and PoV are inspired and the high contrast processing is clean and incisive. I wish I could Fav this enough to get it to No 1 on TT which is where it deserves to be, but as I can't, let's hope that others feel the same way as me!
I like the four corners and the focus on the one-way sign. Looking up the light post works well for me visually as well. The clouds look particularly dramatic because of the gap on the upper right corner that tells us exactly how thick they are.
Fav 2x if I could. Stunning image. I love how the lines and POV compel staring up, while the One Way sign arrow and street light standard counter with 'look THAT way, not this way'.
@vignouse Thank you! I nearly did not post this, I take these look up shots for granted here in Chicago, I take them all the time, but rarely post them, But I really liked this one and am happy that you saw in this what I did! TT is fun, but there are a few people here who's opinion I value, and it is your and their honest opinion that I value!
First of all, love the angle you chose to shoot the image from! Second of all, love Chi-town! Third of all, the texture and contrast made this image stand out to me!
