Hi pixelthis, I love the mood of this shot very much! The shot has this essence of a snapshot of a moment of a stranger's life.

How did you achieve the stark vivid tones that give the shot this dreamy feel? Would you please mind sharing a little on how you process the shot?

nicole limperopulos: hey mk,

thanks so much for the kind words. i am glad that you like the shot. love the observation that you made about capturing a moment of a stranger's life. as for the processing...very simple. i simply desaturated the shot, and threw a blue filter on the mono photo. thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave feedback.

Hi Nicole,
Nice shot! Were you walking on the street?
I was expecting to see your self-portrait yesterday...

nicole limperopulos: hey ana,

thanks so much. i was walking down mcdougal street in the west village, and there was this guy just sitting there eating. sorry about the self-portrait...i had queued up a bunch of photos b/c i have been swamped over the past two weeks. i will try to get one up soon. thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave feedback.

Right under the "No parking any time" sign

Nice shot

nicole limperopulos: hey louis,

i guess "no parking" meant nothing to a hungry biker. thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave feedback.

Nice street shot. I like the b/w. Color would probably make it too busy.

nicole limperopulos: hey martin,

thanks so much. glad that you like the shot. color actually looked really flat and didn't do anything for me. i thought that the conversion to b/w really did a lot more for the shot. thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave feedback.

Another great choice for b&w - the building looks really good here, and I think mono brings out the different textures and materials in the shot - each has a different tone. The other thing I really like about this one is the "No Parking" sign - it seems to really help frame the shot and adds something to it.

nicole limperopulos: hey mike,

you know, sometimes you just stumble upon a shot that is set up for you, and this is one of those cases. glad that you like the shot, and thanks for the kind words. i am glad that you like the b/w...i think that it worked a lot better than color. glad to hear from you. thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and leave feedback.
