The light falling on the water fountain man, the mystery escalator shaft (?), and the askew geometry of the roof snap for me. I like it.

It occurs to me that the people, moving or not, really make this. The framing and contrasting textures are great, but the people add some special sauce.

Great streetlife photo. The escalatorshaft in the middle is a nice and mystery element. I love the contrast too.

Thank you dried_squid and Bertus.
Although I would like you to tell me, if you were to change anything, what would that be ?!

It is a good shot. I like the composition and how you captured how people move. But, I do find the contrast to be a bit on the harsh side.

So, less contrast ? Thanks for the comment in advance Uhner.

I would agree with Uhner that the contrast is rather harsh. I would also be prepared to crop off top of the photo so as to remove that skylight in the middle. I would also be inclined to crop off that LHS where that tiny portion of the outside roof can be viewed - its pulls the viewers eye over there.

Cheers

As I see it on my display 1440 x 900, I wouldn't change it.

I would consider change with respect to size and presentation. For paper and 8 x 10 and up, I think the "light at the end of the tunnel" feeling might work. For paper and smaller than 8 x 10, perhap more gradation and less black surround might work better.

But if it was my picture, I would not change anything, and only present it as an 8 x 10 or 8 x 12 or larger.
