Black & White Ben Franklin Bridge/City View

I shot this from my office on the 30th floor when I was in Philly. It a gray and gloomy outside so i turned the photo into a black and white...

Enjoy!

Good move. Color not important here. More detail on the foreground buildings could bring more interest to the shot, I think.

Nice shot! I lived in the Soc Hill towers in '72, the highway stopped dead in South Philly back then

By your note "Enjoy", perhaps you meant to post this in another Forum. This one is for comment and critique. The snapshot (see the definition on the Web) is very underexposed. Converting to B&W can't save it nor in my view mask it. My comments are based on a lifetime of encouraging the art and science of photography and attempting to help people to "see the light" (a photographic expression). Hope this provides food for thought. Now go out there and make one for the Gipper! Complaints of the Season.
