Street scene

I love this shot-I like the high key look brings a weightlessness to the image from what might otherwise be interpreted as "weighty"-the buildings, (although the perspective does not let that happen either) had the been darker. The weave of foilage is welcome in the geometry of the architecture. It reminds me of Stieglitz's "Spring showers"-the tone, not the subject. Makes me want to shoot and develop black & white again. Nice work.

I tried to get whiter whites. I couldn't get completely white whites and still like the general look, but I came closer!
