I like the composition very much. Especially I like "rush" on it. Good choice of B&W. Nice light and sharpness. Thank You for sharing. Regards!

I really like this photo.The only thing I can see that would make it better is it could be a little lighter.It draws me in and makes me look for more details.Good Job.

Hi Franz, nice street photo. Contrast is great! Light is very nice, but IMO little bit more would be nice. Vignette works great here IMO. Sharpness is great. Ante

Many thanks, Ante. I tried different settings for the lighting, and you may be right that more would work better...

Hi Franz. Great image. When the day is grey and landscape offers only dull colors and few too bright add, then B&W is a great choice. You have great composition and I like that there is so many persons face towards you, but not directly looking at you. My only idea to improve this kind of images is using lower point of view. That might make this even stronger.

I must say that I agree with "My only idea to improve this kind of images is using lower point of view. That might make this even stronger." :)

Franz hi. The photo is very good, the b&w works well here and the composition is also excellent. It is a HDRI right? The only thing about it, my opinion of course, is that is it unnatural.Still a good shot. regards. iris

Many thanks, Iris. Yes, I did use pseudo-HDR for one of the layers in this photo.
