I kinda like the contrast the way it is. Coupled with the spot-on toning, it gives this piece (all the pieces in this series, in fact), a sort of dusty, urban sense of ennui . . . or of something that is neither here, nor there . . . it just IS.
Framing this shot horizontally seems counter-intuitive to me, but perhaps my mind is solidly inside the box. I wonder what this would have looked like from a super low angle looking up . . . I feel the need to see more telephone line, perhaps to draw the eye further than the short hops between the two signs and the pole. At the same time, I like how there's a limited context . . . it's kind of like looking out a car window.

This is a great shot to end on... I wish I knew who the man on the sign is as well. (I wonder if he knows he has become the object of attention on a photo site? *grin*)
I agree with Dirck to clone out the top left.
I like the grain in the sky... gives this an antique feel.

Hi Luka - if anything I think the negative is a bit on the thick side, overexposed because of an old meter in this camera but developed as if it was exposed correctly. I use the Epson 3170 with the Epson software (with updates). Maybe I could have pushed the contrast a little here but I fear the scene itself was a bit uninspired, lightwise.

Nice shot. I get the feeling the photo's a bit flat... I doubt it's due to underdeveloping, probably could been avoided in the scanning process. Do you mind me asking which scanner and scanning software you use?

Hi Dirck - glad you like it. He looks a bit like Bob Dylan but I don't think it is... I'll edit the corner when I have dusted the negative ;-)

Ha! Your 'about' said exactly what I was thinking when I saw the thumbnail! :) There's an odd little triangle of dark in the upper-left that might be good to get rid of.
I wonder who the person in the stencil on the sign is?
