Yeah! Takes me back too. I love the phantom-like effect of the red car.. . vanishing, like these ’60ish street scenes.

The classic feel is definately there. Wish you could shed some more light on the technicals.
That car must have given you quite a close shave :-)

PS : I really like the color scheme which you have superimposed over the sepia. (red sign boards/car, and cyan in the opposite side)

I love this shot. I love it all out i mean the shades used the motion effect the angle which you have chosen not very easy in NYC. everything is giving a sense of energy. Great job.

A very different earth shot to that which we have become accustomed to of late. That’s a refreshing change I might add. I like composition and the post processing.

Very interesting. For a split second, the light on the store windows on the left seemed like a clothesline…

You can sense the grittiness of the street here while highlighting the asphalt in the foreground instead of the highrise buildings as usually seen. Also there is a feeling of suspense & uncertainty with the street in front of us ending with a bright haze where details end, making the “unknown” the destination. No glitz and glam here. A very creative and realistic composition emotionally and visually. Congratulations!!

Looks like a shot from an old gangster movie.
Nice change from glitzy photos of NY.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, good ole’ New York City! There is nothing like it in the world. It’s craziness and constant action captured quite well here. Congratulations on a fine photograph!
