Empire State Bldg; Paper Negative

I like this very much also. the viginetting cuts out much of what would date this photo to a particular time period, making a 'timeless' photo. The highlight on the empire-state building makes it look polished and new.
I think there is some room for improvement though. I would like to see a bit more contrast, and the building on the left edge is distracting.

Great Job!

Really nice feel, low tech beauty!

It's beautiful why a paper negative, Just make a photograph and stop playing with technique. see Stieglitz.

The image appeals to one's sense of symmetry, and your attempt to riff on an historical look, was fairly successful. What I do find distracting though, is the whole lower right corner. It looks like a technical glitch; be it flare, lack of burning down, paper/scanner reflection, whatever. It keeps me from being able to suspend disbelief, and enter into the frame.

goergous! Very nice.

I can see it blue toned, veyr striking

Thanks again for everyones comments and suggestions. Usually I would agree that focusing too much on technology may get in the way of image making (or spur it on it) but in this case it was primary to realizing an image that is not otherwise available.

I really like that Random gallery. Good to see this one again.

this is really really good. I just discovered your work.your stuff is some of the best I've seen..!!!
since I do Holga and Lith I might be a little bias though

Not to gang up on vic or anything, but this shot is great.
