A small alley off the main drag in Chinatown, Melbourne. Pentax K20D with the Pentax DA* 16-50mm. At 16mm, 1/45sec with shake reduction on, hand held, F3.5 and ISO 800. Desaturated in The Gimp and curved for a little more contrast especially to get inky blacks. I like the structure of this one.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

Works great in B/W. Especially like the linear details of the road and buildings. I would likely prefer to not walk this one alone. : ) Excellent work!

I don't think so, but I do like looking at it. The treatment you have given it sends a menacing message.
Top work :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Not only will I walk there, but I'm the guy hiding in the dumpster ready to jump out and rob you at knife-point. Danger is my middle name. Well, no not really. But If I could have chosen my first and last names they wouldn't have been Roger and Alan. They would have been Freyda and Danger.

No, I wouldn't. Because, despite the lights, the alley is too dark and foreboding. lol
