Another image in this challenge that I really like. It instantly reminded me of the New York images that Walker Evans took. Love the tones and composition. 7

Wow! Stark and graphic.... expressively buttoned-down. Good image for a bank. 8

Interesting shot.

bank branch?
almost exactcally what the topc is sorta unarigonal
still its classy

the style doesn't bother me, I like photos reduced to graphic elements - but on this particular photo, it leaves us with a black rectangle jutting into the photo - the pole becomes the main focus for me - I'd like to have something more interesting to see as the main element - neat effect though

Been awhile since I saw this style attempted. Was fairly popular for awhile back in the late sixties. Not much can be improved upon. Good job!!

Although the buildings are clearly commercial in some way or another, without the title there's no indication in the photo to define them specifically as banks. It seems more like a shot of the lamppost I'm afraid.

Utterly ruined by the unnecessary tilt. I'd love it otherwise. Like the moment of a nuclear detonation ;)

Good idea. Picture seems too overexposed for my liking.
09/09/2005 07:29:47 AM
don't care for the processing. too much.
09/09/2005 04:11:17 AM
Poor contrast in the image. Interesting composition, you should try to reprocess it.
09/08/2005 05:56:46 PM
Hmmm. Interesting approach. But I find the street lights very distracting.

This is an amazing result using basic editing rules. It's the kind of thing you could see as a full page watermark in an annual report. In that context, you could selectively correct some of the areas that can't be fixed under these rules. Full marks for the style and feel of this, maybe 1-2 off it for being maybe just a little too abstract when showing either the bank or branch. Without the title it's not posible to make the connection - 7

I can't tell there is a bank in any of these buildings. It also looks like a book is floating in the air...
09/08/2005 07:48:32 AM
I love the concept...what could be better than a blown-out bank?.... I think the composition detracted from what could have been a very powerful image.
09/08/2005 07:47:54 AM
This photo is over processed. I don't like it, sorry.
09/07/2005 07:02:42 PM
Sorry, this is too over-processed for my liking. For me, this has gone beyond photography into digital art.
09/07/2005 06:32:30 PM
Although the top of the building is faded out, I like the..."rough" quality and angles of your photo. A gritty feeling to it.
09/07/2005 04:08:07 PM
Good take on the idea and i love the black and white effect. But to me because the rest of the building isnt showing it seems like something is missing and that the picture isnt full enough
09/07/2005 02:50:27 PM
i really wish that the bank had been more visible. the focus of this photo is the lamp post. i really like what you did to the photo though. the lamp post takes over the photo.
09/07/2005 02:32:44 PM
This picture just seems to bland. Nothing very eye catching, and even if so a bank is in itself pretty boring. It may also have people running away subliminally. Banks strike all those negative feelings of debt, power, and social demise. To me anyway. GL
09/07/2005 09:53:12 AM
Way too much glare, sorry
09/07/2005 08:26:30 AM
I like the angle and high key elements of this shot...it works well.
09/07/2005 07:51:42 AM
Lovely abstract as well as nice rendition of the Challenge
