Just a street scene from New York City, this is 5th Avenue in New York. It was a gorgeous day and I loved the light hitting the street here. What I found interesting was some grafitti written in orange on the street, and it kind ruined the shot, so I converted to BW. I split the channels and used the red channel for this shot! Hope you like it!

Hello Linda
I'm such a dork I had to Google Abbey Road! But Yes I get it after seeing the album cover! Cute... I do like the long shadows here... OK if you are not in the crosswalk where are you? I also like the we can see WAYYYYYYYY down the street!

Hi Linda,

Even in monochrome the view is providing as charming attraction with a nostalgic touch. A beautiful shot has been taken from an intersting point of view. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this shot.

Hi Linda, great B&W composition with fascinating shadows, splendid DOF, very well done, ciao Silvio

Excellent choice of BW Linda. Well composed, good light and shade and lovely tones. Abbey Road era was about the time I went off the Beatles. TFS,

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Palette of Blues’

Hi Linda,
Of light, shadow and perspective. They were nicely blend to create a very good impact to this shot. And B&W worked really well for its beauty.

I really like the foreground... lines, long shadow and humans to add drama. Nice shot.

TFS
Ramdan.

Good one, Linda. Glad you weren't hit by a car. Janos

Abbey Road is a great title for this shot. I love the Beatles and its amazing how iconic something is timeless such as a crosswalk now. Good work.
