    Hello Yoyo,

    You bring a nice composition as usual. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with the picture as far as I am concerned but I have to say that it doesn't have the strong impact (on me) that your photography usualy have. I guess that it comes from the very even light.

    I guess that you could either

    a) reedit the same scene at night
    b) wait for a moment (during daytime) when the place is crowded and use a neutral density filter to be able to capture the movement of the crowd.

    These are just two basic ideas that crossed my mind. Feel free to disagree.

    best regards

    Seb

    Hi Seb,
    Thanks for your suggestions. They are helpful. By the way, what is the time in your place? It is 9:03 am here in Hong Kong.
    All the best.

    You have a nice composition with the "S" curve, but it might be more obvious with a little more foreground. I agree with Seb's idea of more people and blurring them as they walk by.

    I agree with Seb, Yoyo. I can also think of a third alternative, I would like to see how lights play upon all those reflective steel surfaces. I like the geometric accents you picked up in this picture too.
