Stock Shot Project

I saw this view of the Empire State Building while coming out of the subway station.  I had my Fuji X100 set for monochrome capture.  Whenever I do that, I also set the camera to capture in both RAW and JPG.  That way I can always redo the monochrome from the full RAW file in Photoshop where I have more control, or I can keep the color version if that is more interesting.  In this case I was torn between the two versions.  The color image had an overall warm ochre cast that resulted in a monochrome look anyway.

Here is the full monochrome image.  It has more of a nostalgic feel and strong graphic of angular lines.
