Outstanding photo, great feeling.
With your permission I would like to use it here: www.sandersconsulting.com/halfβ¦
I've dropped it in, wanted to see what I looked like. If you don't want me to use it please just let me know and I will take it down right away.
And I've given you full credit on the page.
Thank you!

I love this!
The light is amazing & the angle of the pic.
It seems so impersonal, it's a great reflection of city life.
I just love cityscapes on b&w. It made them much more impressive & emotive

What a light and contrasts !
I dig this composition. You did an awesome job.

I love how you managed to use absolute blacks, and absolute whites, together so perfectly, but still having the subtle gradient.
It's good that you didn't follow the ever so popular habit of "compose, snap, check the histogram", But on the other hand it also it isn't a super high contrast myspace pictures that has a total of 4 shades of grey through out the whole picture.
Excelent work.

Exceptionally nice composition and exposure.
I like the symmetrical horizontal framing and the way the silhouettes "fade" from dark black to light gray as the eye is drawn "deeper" into the frame along the perspective lines.
I also like the way the top and bottom edges of the highlight "cut out" a rectangle that sits almost exactly on the imaginary line that would mark the upper "rule of thirds" line.
Clever reversal of the usual expectation that things close that are close should be lighter in tone than things that are far away.
Did you use the D200's "B&W" mode, or did you do the conversion in post-production?

i really appreciate it, it is very nice to hear professionally made comments. about your question, i usually don't use BW mode, i prefer post-production because in either way on the editing window rawdata (NEF) will be in RGB scale, if you dont work on jpegs.

I've never actually used that function on my D200, preferring the RAW production route myself. I was just wondering if you had.
Thanks.

Something rather transcendent about this - going to feature it.

i like shooting silhouettes, from this direction- yes the light makes everything mysterious.
