Historical Day In A Small Town Square.

[Lorey]

Taken on Monday May 2nd. Just my way of making a record of a historical day. Critiques are appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

a little too much on the sharpening IMHO
i would also crop just at the corner of the white building

Red X here.

I'm surprised to see replies here. The thread sat so long unanswered I just concidered it dead due to lack of intrest.

Gab, to me I can't see where it is in excess of sharpening. When I resized it for uploading I did do a slight resharpening as always but I didn't think it was over done. I for one do not like oversharpend pictures and I always take care to not do so. This may be just on the edge for me but the original is a bit less than what you see here. If I understand your cropping suggestion that would take the couple out of the picture. They give the photo a real life feeling that I wouldn't want to take out. I do appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.

Ernst-Ulrich Schafer, I'm sorry but I'm completely at a loss as to what your post is implying. Thank you for looking. I appreciate it.

Nice historical record. I wonder if Ernst meant that Osama had a red x on him.

Hi Lorey,

This part of your line got me thinking: "... concidered it dead due to lack of intrest".

I took this out of context and applied it to your pic. This actually made me think more about the pic and maybe a spin on these words would offer your work in a different light. The newspaper article is the subject but the lack of any pedestrians shows it's already yesterday's news. For me it's not grabbing me in colour and I'd love to see it in black and white as I think this would give it more drama.
