I worked in Boston for years and this one gives me a feeling of being there. very nice. 10

This could almost be one of those atmospheric Parisian images - the steam helps with that too - but the composition doesn't work for me and the right hand side of the frame doesn't add anything.

Beautiful b/w! Good entry to urban landscape. ~9

I walked past this spot everyday for 3 years...

Nope. Doesn't meet the challenge. [1]

Just kidding. Very moody - great steam and environmental ambience. The lighting is superb and I don't think you can get more urban than this. Perhaps lacking a little detail/contrast in shaded areas, but I love it. [9]

There is something about steam rising from a vent in the street that captures the underlying pulse of the big city. Your angle, lighting and choice of B&W works well with this image. The few people there are makes the city stark. Good job.

The only downfall is the sun glare coming through the buildings. I like the use of black and white in this image - the smoke (condensation?) coming up from underground is a great touch. Gives it a movie set feel.

What a lens! Great b&w shooting..Philadelphia? Just guessing. Wonderful shot, a winner in my book.

Just need some 1930's cars and the mood would be spot on.

Ahhhhh. Philadelphia. I miss home. Nice effect with the sun through the steam.
10/08/2003 09:27:58 AM
Nice Black and White very clear

Nice old fashioned style photo, the effect is stunning! What is the smoke coming out of that hole? Was there a fire there? (8)

I'm a Philadelphian. Good shot and good portrayal.
