Interesting, Peter. Looking at the falloff in sharpness I guessed you were shooting up close with a very wide-angle lens, but then I checked and saw it was a 35mm wide open. Here's one from a couple years ago with a 16mm at f/4, up close. But it doesn't have the moodiness of yours.

Quite interesting look.
I prefer the second one because, IMHO, it's the one that fits better the look.

The fall-off in sharpness bugs me. Other than that, I really like numbers two & three

Hi Russ,
Moodiness is good, that's what I was after...I used a 35mm cctv lens. It gives quite a fall off in focus. Playing with a variety of ways of making images.

Peter, I like these very much. #2 is my favorite, although all are nice. Looks like they were taken with a pinhole camera. Reminds me of Paul Strands work.
