    Re: Breakfast at Tiffany's

    Yoyo, very nice indeed, I like the lighting, can't quite get the whole shot in on my screen, so I'd probably try to crop some from the top. I really like it though. PS: TinTIn is in Belgium...
    :thumbsup: Shootme...

    Please don't edit and re-post or use my images (not that you'd want to anyway...). without my written permission. Thank you

    Yoyo, you are certainly on your game lately. I haven't commented, but all of your recent shots have been fantastic. Keep up the good work. Street photography like yours is something I would love to learn more about, hard to do here though(town of 16,000 in rural Wyoming, and it's 2 hours to a city of even 100,000).

    Re: Breakfast at Tiffany's

    Every time I see you've posted, I open with anticipation for more of your good work.
    This one is good but I will say I wish there were less at the bottom and more at the top, at least so those converging lines came together in frame.
    Keep Shooting!

    I agree with the others your work has been awesome lately. You might think about cloning the white thing sticking off of the building, upper right, but great work again

    I agree...your urban night work is top notch! I like the hint of motion effects.Wonderful light,you captured this flawlessly.
    The tight crop on the top works for me as it draws the viewer back to the streets.
    Respect,

    Great shot! I like the wide angle. Why the title?

    Re: Breakfast at Tiffany's

    That's something I was curious about as well. Why "Breakfast at Tiffany's?"

    Your photography is always something I welcome Keep them coming!

    Re: Breakfast at Tiffany's

    Hi S, Thanks for the kind words. Did you meet Tintin when you were in Belgium? ;)

    Hi EOS, I am glad that you like the night photos.

    Hi Frog, Your suggestions are valid. Thanks a lot for them.

    Hi Greg, Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

    Hi Don and Danic, I am glad that you like the photo. The title was borrowed from Audrey Hepburn's film in the 60s. At the beginning of the film, Hepburn is eating breakast and admiring the jewellery in the display windows outside Tiffany. I try to convey the idea of materialistic desire in the society.

    Re: Breakfast at Tiffany's

    I like it also and think it has a powerful feeling. My only complaint is their motion blur - I want either more of it, or less of it. Otherwise, very nice shot.
