    I think it would've helped if you had anyone facing, coming towards or looking at your cam. Right now, everyone is moving away and there isn't any point of focus, other than that building at that back.

    I like the atmosphere, but I don't think it has a strong subject at all.

    Hi
    Something here doesnt work for me. I have a feeling that any moment it is going to raise up on wheels and drive off. I found myself looking at the picture trying to find something to make it 'work' for me. Hmmm, this one is going to need some thought from me, but then, I am only a beginner.

    I enjoy the contrast of the architecture, and the cold background against the warmth of the wood toned structure. It is as if a retreat from the cold, busy city life. The depth is great as well. Perhaps a single person with their back toward the buildings would really set it off, as if they want to escape and don't realize it is within their grasp.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Thanks everyone for commenting. I was essentially drawn by the contrast of color betwen the colorful structure and the bland buildings surrounding it but I do agree that the people in the picture are located very randomly.

    regards
