    Hi All,
    The shot was taken with a Canon 10D & a 15 mm lens. Welcome your comment.

    Hey Yoyo,
    As usual with your shots, i think the framing and composition is strong. I just think this looks a bit underexposed. I'm thinking that the bright white wall in the center bg could have caused the meter to underexpose slightly. You could isolate that white area and then up the levels slightly for the rest of the image. Just my opinion, good shot

    Hi Yoyo, lately it seems you are only posting pics of buildings, cute angles etc etc. However i have always admired your work especially when they are of your homeland and culture.I always look at your posts as i want to see more from your country. Please post some of this type as like the kind you used to do when you first came here.
    Do i like this one ? no, for you its below standard. Get back to people and their envireoment, please.

    I like this one. I wanna say its because theres so much to look at. Each item has its own sort of form to it that makes it interesting--the escalator, the pillars, the ceiling. It's those white spots that hold a good photo back from being even better. Looks like a difficult enviroment to shoot well.

    I like the angles and the shadows... but agree that it could use some people.
    No pixels were harmed during the taking of these pictures...

    Hi Gary, Thanks for your suggestion as always.

    Hi Bobby, Thanks for reminding me about the philosophical part of photo-taking. I hope your daughter is getting better.

    Hi Mike, Thanks for the kind words.

    Hi Judland, Thanks for the suggestion.

    All the best.

    Yoyo,

    Once again, the composition is great. However, I find myself thinking that something is lacking, and I think it's the delivery.

    The compsition here is complex, but the technical qualities don't do the image justice. Some areas are overexposed, some are underexposed. I would love to see this done with ultiple exposures, some for the highlights, some for the shadows. I think this is a great idea, it just needs to be polished to a higher level, you know?

    Keep it up.

    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.
