The Fence

CX1, f6.5, 1/203, ISO 80, JPG b&w, 58mm

I like walking along the Thames in North Greenwich on my way home. The industrial areas are really cool and I like taking pictures there.
This picture was taken in b&w and I then applied the Auto WB in ACR, this made it look sepia. I went on and sharpened it, added vignetting, noise and a lot of contrast to it. This is how I saw the scene, with the only difference being I saw it in b&w. Unfortunatelly there are no user settings for the b&w mode on the CX1 to get more contrast in-camera, this is something I really miss having.

    The photographs seems organized and well balanced. I think it is a good composition.

    Thanks Wouter, I tried having more in the frame but it did not work quite as well as this closer zoom.

    Agree with Wouter...sepia tones really enhance the picture.

    I like the diagonal shadow which adds mystery to the picture.

    Very nice...the wall in the background with the dots on it is the perfect backdrop for the fence.

    Thanks for the comment! Strange enough it was the shadow and holes in the concrete wall behind that drew my attention and had me take this picture.
