January 2012 - St John The Divine

How I did it -

This picture was taken at St. John the Divine at NYC. Our local camera club
has a competition theme called "rule breakers". I tried to lined up everything
in the center so this picture will fit into this category. The color picture
was converted into B&W with the usual Nik software.

Breaking rules is fine as long as one has good reasons.
In my view a symmetrical subject leads quite naturally to a symmetric reproduction.
I like the way you have centred the subject so that the symmetry is vertical as well as horizontal, This concentrates ones vision on the splendid door knockers which are the most important part of the picture. There are wonderful tones thoughout this image.

Love the detail architectural shot. I love taking these kinds of shots, myself. The picture seems a little crooked. Otherwise, a really nice symmetrical view of an architectural detail. I especially like where you chose to crop it, showing just the right bit of relevant wordings. Nice job, Sisi.

I am not sure if you broke the "rules" or not, however, I like the image. Its probably the symmetry.  It as well has a rather nice tone to it, it doesn't appear to be purly black and white.

You met your club assignment well and came up with a strong image. Very well exposed and processed. You might sharpen a little.
