See the extraordinary work of a seamstress artist working from my photos!

Great perspective. I love the way my eye goes down first one road and then the other.

Superbes déformations avec ton 10mm, l'atmosphère (comme toujours chez toi) est puissante et l'arête vive du bâtiment central partage superbement l'image en deux !

A superb photo. I've noticed you're over at 1x. Glad to see you've had some work accepted and quite rightly so.

On se croirait dans un film ! Comme un décor de studio ! Vraiment impressionnant le grand angle en ville !

Great shot. Love the b&w and the dark tone. Somebody mentioned Hitchcock... I agree.

J'aime le cadrage et le traitement noir et blanc. C'est une image très frappante. Très bon détail de l'asphalte au premier plan. Je m'excuse pour mon français.

Wow! 10mm? I love this super wide angle with that slight distortion so that things seem a little on the surreal side. Your post processing with these tones are really superb David and this is an instant fave at vfxy and stars galore!

Ariel from Spain
Just fantastic. I am speechless.
I cannot imagine myself in that corner where you took the picture, "seeing" an image like this, like you did.
It's not only that the composition is great, it's a wise postprocessing that creates a fantastic mood, almost like a caricature, a cartoon, one of those Tim Burton's films. What can I say? Great work, you are an inspiration.
PS: It would be fantastic if you are open to share your postprocessing techniques. Or even better, in the case of this image, did you "see" this result just before you were going to shoot, or it's a decission you take later, while seeing the image in the computer?
Thanks!

@Ariel: First, thank you for your interest in my photo. To answer your question, it is rare that I see the final result when taking the photo. But it is certain that I target certain areas favorable for creating the kind of atmosphere that I like (dark, moody, "Tim Burton" ... comparing what is very rewarding!)
Thank you again for this wonderful comment! Favorite one!
