just posted my first photo in about a year Roxy, i need to post more. your photos are a huge inspiration. love how the b&w give this shot a special mood.

Love this Roxy... it has a real 'old' look to it with the lamps and the chairs. Beautiful... well done. :)

love the pattern this makes too

I think it looks fantastic, Roxy. Really love the vintage appearance

Very AWESOME!!

I see at least five. They're all at different angles, but all going the same place, basically. Cool shot, Roxy and the B&W sure does accentuate the lines!

Excellent the way this was done!

Five maybe six, depending on how technical you want to get Great photo and very cool

Leading lines...... Ye gods.... I lost track.... This flat out kicks butt, Roxy! Wow! That HDR is more fun than a barrel of flying monkeys - I just tried my first bit of playing with HDR in PS-CS6 - went on a photo walk back in April, and shot several bracketed sequences, which I processed in PS. Gotta do more! Have to say I'm drooling over those streetlamps, too! An awesome shot, Roxy - keep 'em coming!

(IMHO) B&W seem like the perfect choice for this image giving it a real period look – I really like how the linear composition is broken by the shadows cutting the path and how the bridge intercepts the vanishing point and forces a sharp turn. Very cool shot!!! (5 lines?)

you are a master with the camera.

Fascinating geometry, great shadows & a wide range of gray tones - a lot to like about this composition...

For me, I think the HDR has made the shot have too much undiscernable detail so I find it a bit confusing but obviously no one else does, LOL! I do see where you were going with the lines though.

yup the lines work well from that perspective. But I agree with whaleman, it would be a good idea to leave the HDR out. HDR usually makes images look kinda "plastic" and brings out details that don´t really help. The subtle light/shade play is often destroyed. You don´t need that kinda gadget if the shot itself is taken well. Plain shots without HDR have a lot more appeal I think. I´d like to see the plain shot of this one. The grey scale should come out a lot better as well then.

cool B&W photography

Very eye catching. Beautiful B & W :)

I wonder where those lines are leading to. What is just beyond our sight way down there?

Marvelous image and fantastic perspective !

Excellent capture.

Surreal perspective in B&W !

Great shot, Roxy! And the black and white makes it stronger in expression!! :o)

Lovely shot and I think I see five!

What a gorgeous shot. On the left, the tree line, lights, benches and sidewalk form a wonderful triangle leading to the center while the railing and trees on the right fill in the lower right with the bridge doing a nice job of defining a top border. And I think I can even see faint light rays coming down through the sky upper left to lower right. Excellent contrast and detail

Outstanding black and white photoshot Roxy.

great shot - excellent

So beautiful :O-)

Love it

Quite clever enough picture to shoot in b / w. The search will be more difficult. Besides that, it is to chill a boardwalk. So I lean me back.

Fantastic image Hugs Susan

Outstanding, compelling, really hypnotic work. I don't see it as "technical" at all...well...it is, but there's more of a sense of poetry to it. I really love the intensity of its detailing and the way everything seems so hyper-real but not contrived. Of course I went counting the leading lines in this, and depending on how one looks, I can see at least 7, although 3 of them might be subdivisions of the dominant lines I see. It's an issue of details and following fractal itterations and all of that wonderfully technical stuff, but what I like the most is the fact that the leading lines give you all sorts of doorways into this photograph, and if you follow them, you find that you've traveled somewhere interesting.
