That's the thing... Horse completely changed his style this week and I think that's bad ass... it shows either growth or laziness... or maybe just a wicked blackout and that is what he woke up with.

Well, just "came back" from voting. Actually I haven't slept almost all night and I had a hard time focusing my thought. It must be that adapter... anyway, I really like the one with the piano and the one with the pigeons and of course the first one.
Probably I should get some sleep...

EDIT: I have to say that my sig would be the picture I would submit for city life but it's one year old and I'm an ethical dude.

Well it's after midnight, so here is my shot (although everyone knows which is mine because I use the same damned border every week and this looks almost identical in color processing to my Splash shot)
Story... My mother bought a computer and I went to set it up for her.. Then I just tried to get myself lost by driving the opposite way I would go from home and turning anytime I saw a street I knew... Took about an hour but I ended up in Monroe, NC... Sort of this suburb or Charlotte... Took this picture:
I drove back to Charlotte and ended up downtown. I normally go to the top of a parking deck at night and shoot the sky line but this was 3:30pm and a parking deck that was taller and more centrally located (7th st. for anyone local, 15+ stories up). Well I took a ton of IR images of the city, buildings, horizon... Oh, important note: I left my super zooms (70-210) at home... that plays into my story
So I got bored... at this point I decided to see how close I could get to the several hundred pigeons on the other side of the parking lot. I got a lot of shots of these birds just sitting there and then caught the tail end of them taking off. I was happy but agree with the feedback about the angle of the horizon
The color correction was mild, just bluing up the sky
Ultimately I debated heavily about which image to submit... I chose the non IR bird one (obviously) because I thought it was more of a city vibe.
Now my original idea was exactly what Scharky did, I already had my model posing nude and was going to shoot my street shot until I saw his and knew I couldn't compete... I guess that really gives me an unfair advantage and helped make up my mind, but still... I didn't want to submit something that wasn't going to be original and then have it be so far inferior to the other similar concept.
So back to the birds, it was an opportunity shot, it's OK, not my best work but I had to participate and I think it has room for improvement but... either way, 'nuff said, it is a picture and I'm not ashamed but not glowing with satisfaction.
OK, so that's my story, that's my entry...

Here is my Image... Cinema Choices. When I heard we were doing "City Life" I right away knew I wanted a shot of someone looking up at a movie theatre. I always go "into the city" to see movies, so it jumped out at me. On Saturday a buddy of mine, and me went to see a flick, so I just grabbed several shots outside the theatre. Here's a before and after look at the photo. I do a lot of post-processing work, (mainly due to the limitations of my camera (it's all auto, all the time)) but I try to make it look as natural as possible. I do agree it would have looked EVER BETTER at night, but I am happy with how the shot turned out Thanks!

Mr. Hollywood
Here's mine:
I'm a little disappointed in the problems I had with compression. It certainly softened it up. Here it is at closer to the original size. I believe it is a bit sharper.
I hate being busy and rushing to get something. Tim (Slimothy) and I were in at Cinema Secrets getting some FX apliances and as we came home, past Glendale, I stopped to get some shots. I took about 60 shots of tall buildings and such, but this is the picture that was different than all the rest I took and I liked the idea of all the different publications available to people in the city. I probably should have gone with a slightly slower shutter speed to give the cars in the background more motion but what the hey, it was spur of the moment. I was rushing because we have been trying to make sure we're ready to shoot our HorrorFest entry this weekend. Of couse, that'll put a crimp on next week, but I've got an idea...

Mailbox is mine.
Another run & gun shot with very little planning. I didn't even seriously consider that one for entry untill I got back to the computer.
Sorry I don't have time to comment more than that this week due to IBC, etc... thoguh I have read all the feedback I got, thankyou.

Okay, this one was mine:
I took it from my car using 35mm. The reason it looks a tad soft is because my scanner sucks. The original is crystal clear.
Here's the original:
You can see that I replaced the sky with a shot I took the next day. I took a cloud shot just to finish the roll on my way to the mall to get it processed. Luckily, I ended up using it. It was far more interesting.

Great sky replacement Horse... I never would have guessed it was touched up like that.
I really like this image and like I said in my comments, respect the different style you used for this submission. Great job.

Thanks, Jeremy! I appreciate it. I really liked your shot, too. There's something about it that just makes me want to stare at it.
