I've already posted this point of view some days ago in the "Fun with MF images 2025" thread.
Originally I only had my 907x + 45p on hand, so I've shot it hand-held and corrected the perspective in Phocus.
Today I went there again with my technical camera and tried to make it properly. The FOV of the 35XL was better as it gives more air around. Moreover, I used a median blending of many images in order to eliminate all the people and most of the cars moving around that crossing. For this I've used a tool I've just developed myself which performs averages and medians natively on 3FR files and generates a native (non demosaiced) 3FR file as well. So, I can import/develop the composed file on Phocus like any normal RAW file. This was my first real-world test of the tool.
I insisted on such image because I really like the interplay between the metal arc laying on the ground (sort of art installation) and the light pole. They two objects are distant in the three-dimensional reality, but the 2D projection of photography flattens the planes and creates new interesting relationships (as Stephen Shore would say). I only noticed that interplay when I've seen the scene for the first time through my 907x display. The B&W treatment removes a lot of distractions and focuses more on what I wanted to highlight.
As a side technical note, I needed to use my shared workaround in order to remove the PDAF banding on the sky due to the use of the 35XL shifted. It was easy-peasy, nevertheless an additional step to take care of.
