My Favorite Street

**Hillary** · 11-05-2009, 06:29 PM

Hey guys.

This place gets pretty close to dead every now and then so I thought I would post something to keep it alive.
I am, by no means, anywhere near "professional" but I'm learning more and more about photography every day, and loving it!
I have always LOVED this street, and a few weeks ago I finally had a little time to go take some pictures of it. So, here they are! Any C&C is welcome. I know they could be a lot better, hahaha.

Thanks for looking!

3 and 5 are my picks. I like the composition of 3, but the colors don't look right, seems a bit too bright. 5 looks cool, but it is hard to tell if it is converted to B&W or not. If not, it would look pretty cool converted and upping the contrast.

Thanks for your input!

Yeah, I figured that #3 was too bright, as well... but I liked it because the branches kind of reminded me of a lit up Christmas Tree!

Is this any better? (Still kind of bright, but not as much!)

Here's another shot I took, too:

And #5 I converted to "Aged Photo" in Lightroom.
But here it is in BW & more contrast:

That's a really pretty area.

. Something about the brightness/contrast doesn't seem right, though.
I really like the shadows in photos 4 & 5.
