I chose to take my street photography shots in North Bethlehem, along Main Street.
I photographed this image, removed the clouds from the sky, made some saturation edits and exaggerated the sun rays reflecting off of the window
I took this image at corner of Main and Market street, allowing the viewer to see down the street, the historic hotel Bethlehem and the street sign.
I edited the image to be black and white and only allowed the vibrant yellow of the storefront/sign to be in color.
I really like the first image, I think you framed the buildings very nicely and the sun glare in the window really draws your attention.
The sky is much better now in your top image and it looks as if you did a subtle gradation. The yellow isolated in the bottom image works well with the black and white and the masked figure is almost unnoticeable but adds to the general solitude of the work.
I LOVE the exaggerated sun shine in the first image, it really makes it look like a magical place. I also really agree with Professor Chupa’s comment, that the subtlety of the person on the left in the mask helps almost show what sunshine this restaurant might be in covid times of black and white.
