    Ooooh...Seb, I really like this a lot! I love the colors and placement of the buildings, but the people really make this shot for me, particularly the guy in the suit. Really nice!

    I think you got yourself a very nice one here Seb. There is so much to look at here. From the small sign up front all the way to the giant clock in the back.

    I also like the colors here. Very pretty. The two people in the foreground add a lot of interest, turning into more than an architectural photo.

    It's interesting how there are no moving cars here.. It makes it feel somewhat like an early Sunday morning photo.

    Hi Seb,
    I lile this photo. The composition is good and with a good depth introduced by the alley. The few people on the streets gives a quiet feeling like GB mentioned. I also like the juxtaposition of the two walking passersby with the two chatting guys. I wish the chatting guy at the right were in front of the dust bin. I was mistaken that he was wearing a skirt when I first studied this shot. Well done!

    Great image Seb..I like the way to kept all verticles verticle..It would be neat to replace the cars with vintage ones and I'd swear it was taken in the 20s or 30s..Just a thought..

    Very attractive scene, Seb. Nicely composed and framed. The two men talking, especially the posture of the man in the suit make for further interest. The empty street, and subtle colors make for a pleasing mood as well. Good

    Re: Somewhere in the city...

    Good composition and good call using a long DOF. I'm not usually into architectural scenes, but I think you made a strong image here. I don't particularly care for the blown-out sky on the horizon, but I'll let it slide considering how subtle it is and how well everything is put together. No scene in natural light will ever be "perfect", but I think you made a good call as to what could slide. Nice work!

    I agree: Great image. I love the lines. And I even like how the yellow tires of the bike pick up the yellow in the sign at the back. Nicely seen!

    Very nice shot Seb,

    I just had to add my props. The posture of those two guys chatting has a very early Beatles album cover look.

    Cheers,
