Very nice composition. I love the lighting and contrast!

Looks nice, but what's this?

Really wonderful composition and tonal range! I'm curious. What focal length do you typically use for your street photography? also, do you typically use primes or zooms with your DSLR (I think you mentioned before that you use primes for your Leica bodies; I was curious if you do the same for DSLR). Your site is great! -- Rodney :)

Hi Markus,

Nice one once again. I look at this and initially my eye is led to the darker tone in the center of the image - but eventually keeps settling on the building in the background. Not being from NYC I am curious as to what the building is.

Regards...

thanks all! there's one thing though that nobody noticed (yet)!!

@ Hezron - the Post Office in NYC is being re-modeled and
covered for that reason.

@Rodney - 35mm or 28mm primes are my favorites, I use the
same focal lengths (primes) on my DSLR. Every once in a while
I go as wide as 15mm.

@Roy - see above

the pictures a construct of two images, one the mirror of the other. excellently done and i wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't invited viewers to look again.

ps, do i get a prize?

bravo again markus, great picture!

Tonnerbell:

The darkness in the pic makes it look really sinister (for me at least)
