Do you live in Glasgow? I visited Scotland (skye island, cape wrath, ...) gorgeous country!
I like the depth of this one.

yes it's very cool. this depth is amazing. I can't see the end of it!
the light is very nice. and it's a very soft contrast.
A very good work! Nicely done alzco !^^

Have to agree with Cain here about the excellent contrast. It looks so clear and so detailed. Usually not a big fan of these shots but this one knocks the socks off. Excellent:-)

I live just outside Glasgow ppigeon in a dreaery little town.
I took this while having a sandwich.
Thanks so much for the comments. :)

Although it is taken today, is give me a feel how it looks during past century, Glasgow being a town of importance in Scotland.

Taking the color out was a great idea. Great snapshot of life far, far away from me... sir

Very nice picture here, I agree with everyone above, also the B & W is very nice on this one.

That is a neat street...

.........*sets as desktop*....... *smile*-meg

Thanks guys for the positive comments. Am well pleased you like this shot as much as I do. I was a bit worried how my pics would be recieved as there is so much great work on this site. So double :)
And WOW(I think) at my c-index! That's good yeah?

Yeah!

WOW again.
Thanks phraseology!!! that is praise indeed :o)
My desktop is my other shot, Buchannan Galleries, taken from the other side of the building on the left on the same day.
Ta again

oh yes makes a great background

Al I love this photo!!It reminds me of early photography photos looking down New York avenues.My mate Stephen here in St.Louis is from Scotland.Ill send him your photo.
Peace&Respect Jojo

Thanks phoenix and JoJo.
I love this picture too and I'm so glad others enjoy it as I do. :o)
PS try Buchannan Galleries as a desktop ;o)

I want to visit Scotland soooo bad! This street really does look like it goes on forever. And I love the feel the b&w gives the photo.

Thank you all :o)

surreal shot man...keep it up ;-)

That is fantastic.. Well done indeed!

Thanks Chameleon and MOC
:o)

hmm i love the black and white.. much better than the photographs i have seen so far.. a tip though for you -> when taking a picture if in fact you took this one it is best to have a camera with a good zoom, and if using a digital camera more than 5 megapixels.. this picture could be better if it were zoomed more into the city focusing on the buildings and not the people :)

yes prime this is my photo. I have a 2 million pixel camera with no zoom. I was focused on the street and not the people, but is difficult to do with such a piddly camera. Having the people in the foreground helped give perspective to the shot I felt.
When I can afford it I will get such a camera that you described.
:o)

5 megapixels... isnt too hard to get i can sell you one of mine for $100 if you want i didnt mean to insult just offering my opinion ive been doing photography for a long time..

:o) no insult or offence taken.
Good cameras aren't as cheap here, but to be honest my trusty fuji has done me well so far. The only thing it needs is an optical zoom.
But yes, when I can afford it I will get something just a little bit shinier :o)

Great clarity..... I love the black and white.

Thanks kendall
:o)

Thanks to everyone who looks at this, not just those who post a message. Is good to know others like as I do.
:o)

What are those guys on the steps looking at? Frenetic Stilllife.Sweet



I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process

I came upon this completely by chance, and it brought back strong memories of my time in Glasgow. Great photo, thank you!

The smaller size doesn't do this picture justice. To get full impact it must be viewed as large as possible. Fascinating. I feel like I'm there. Thanks!

Thanks :o)

with all these comments it's like a second user profile. nice image

Do you have a color version of this? I've had it on my desktop for a couple weeks and i've been wondering what the colors would be...I do like the black and white though, most of my backgrounds are. Thanks.

I have somewhere yavanna, although it doesn't look as good(IMO), but if you give me your email addy then I can send it to you :o)
TY for comments

good image!

it looks like a painting without the color

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations
your pictures are great!!!
you should come to Argentina and take pics like that!

yeah i like this pic too, also kinda funny as there is a web camera on the building behind you looking down the street too.

Love this pic !!! Scotland might be my next vacation destination. :o)

I have stood on those steps and taken that shot so many times but I never got it to look as good as that. Beautiful work. (Used to live in Airdrie).

Thanks for your comments :o)

It seem a shot from the '70, for my taste i'd like in a colour version anyway never been there and i'm like to see glasgow. 6/10
