Here is a sample of 3 images I took today in Philadelphia.

...Post process work done in photoshop, nothing more than curves/contrast, and some minor clone tool operation.

I have more if anyone is interested.

Criticism?

first two are nice, pretty gritty,

the third, mmm, subject matters a little vague. Not sure about the composition..

All in all good offering with a request for moar.

Looks fine from the thumbnail, then you open it and the missing lips just ruin the picture. It's like she has a deformed face.

More profile or less profile, not this.

/p/ needs more threads like this one.

Proceed.

lack of lips kinda like, ruin it. otherwise it would be pretty darned neat. if only she turned her head just a tad more twards you
>>168958
this is cool but it looks a bit too blurry at full size
>>168959
this might work better if you could see the person's face, otherwise it just doesnt do it for me

Yes I know some of these are very grainy but when it comes down to it, its the hardware I'm using that's causing it and not my ability to take pictures. Any lower shutter speed or ISO for these would make them too dark for my poor weak and inferior Pentax.

If anything I actually think the graininess adds a nifty touch to some of these... like an older feel.

Great arcitectural shots. Great portraits, some small issues but over all I love it, especially the grainy B&W.
