Description A gorgeous view of the city from the very top of
the Westerkerk Church [link]

Originally this photo was in color,
but I liked how much bolder the houses
looked in black and white.

Enjoy

Very nice, like the choice of black and white! Looks a bit like an oversized model of a city.

AH see, it has more contrast and feel, while not messing up the cool atmospheric perspective you got going in the back. Awesome.

You have such a good eye... when I was on top of Westerkerk Church with my silly point-and-shoot, I took some lame shots that I wouldn't dare show you because they sooooooo pale in comparison to this. Bravo!

Man, the architecture there is amzing huh?
Man I'm planning on going, as soon as my bank heist goes through, wink-wink.

I like how you set the shot, everything is overviewed and in focus.
maybe a tint of contrast way in the back.
can't wait to see more.
