I recognised this one as yours, although that did not prevent me from giving it a score I felt it deserved (9). I am so very sorry it did not score higher.

Love it, the lines, the angle, the lighting, the unique colors - really excellent.

Another underrated gem. Gave it a 8.

Travesty. I gave this an 8. Totally undervalued in a challenge dominated by landscapes.

Interesting commentary piece, nice lines and darks/lights. 7

great highlights really make this quirky shot work...

A very graphic image, lovely colour sat, the figure makes it work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 08:47:59 AM
Like the eerie / lonines feeling along with the geometrics...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 01:13:32 AM
Interesting shot... almost like a street photo, only in colour.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 08:38:38 PM
spot editing his bald spot would have really helped this - super post-capture concept but the red is an unncecessary distraction
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 04:39:19 PM
makes me want to follow the lines.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 01:32:00 PM
Very nice composition, lines and lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 07:05:42 AM
Love the tone and the composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 06:13:40 AM
I like the low key colours and the beauty in the mundane.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/16/2009 03:36:44 AM
a true gem
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:16:51 PM
Nice street Photography..... Tones fit perfectly.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 09:46:26 PM
Great composition, good use of color in probably difficult lighting conditions--you achieved a slightly surreal tonality here that works well with the bold leading lines of the image. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:56:41 PM
Wonderful use of the yellow line to guide us
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:03:01 PM
Interesting POV with nice perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:55:05 PM
The green and yellow tones are very cool...as are all blocks, shapes and lines. A truly artistic photo taken from one of the last places you would ever expect one to be taken. Outstanding!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:02:48 PM
The tiles on the floor are almost a leading line for the viewer - a little abstract and unique - I like it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:34:18 PM
Excellent composition and mood. I like the almost surrealness of this scene and the bare starkness of it all. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:29:46 PM
Very nice... but I would have liked to see it in B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:38:43 AM
Bold striking image, I like it....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 10:12:55 AM
An interesting slice of life, those yellow tiles are cool.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:48:03 AM
I like the idea (the eye youre looking at things) here...

I like the geometrics of the lines throughout this capture. The darker shadowing provides a somber feel to it (much how I felt when I use to commute to work).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:49:57 PM
I kno who this is. I like this a lot. Anything with a strong geometric grounding is a winner by me. There are a few other things I like about this though, namely the human element and the low-key, greenish processing. A winner by me. 1x's loss for not accepting it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:39:06 PM
Nice shot of the everyday.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:38:23 PM
great take on the life of a commuter.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good shot.

Voted yesterday (9), coming back to comment. I remember this image from the Street side challenge. I totally loved it back then and still love it now. Very well seen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:44:37 PM
Kind of an interesting subject, and I do like the composition with the various lines and squares. I find the extreme yellow cast to be off-putting though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 01:22:37 PM
Nice colors
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 11:17:18 AM
Feels isolated, maybe drudgery, not wanting to do this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 09:38:39 AM
Very well done indeed. The only thing I wonder is if a tweak of white balance might be of benefit?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:22:22 AM
Very good. All those tiles and all that dictatorial geometry. A sign to tell you what's forbidden (but not what's not), mounted over a thing (rubbish bin?) that makes me think instead of a urinal ... and maybe it is? ... there's no sign forbidding that. Rat race indeed. 8.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:07:37 PM
Nice composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 08:05:00 PM
The composition is nice, but I think there is a little too much contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:35:01 PM
Not sure what the point of focus is... the guy is a little fuzzy and so are the signs... Would have liked it if there was a main subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 01:46:20 PM
almost abstract in nature, love the colour toning
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:43:58 AM
I'm guessing Singapore? I think those pathways for the blind are great. Wish we had them where I live. Good composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:10:34 AM
Nice capture with all the squares and rectangles.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:00:32 AM
Great human behaviour study. Good lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:56:51 PM
Image is rather noisy and has a very yellow cast to it. Perhaps some levels and channel mixer could adjust it a bit more. Composition works well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:46:29 PM
Very interesting collection of geometry. Nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:27:01 PM
Strong verticals make this shot. Love the brilliant yellow. Shows the texture of the tiles very well. I know there is more to this than I can discern.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:13:20 PM
a bit borring
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:55:13 PM
Currently seeded in my high group. I have nothing bad to say about this image, but you know what totally *makes* the image for me? The *bald spot*! It's so poignant...

Good luck with this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 07:24:26 PM
There is such a Twilight Zone quality to this. The bold lines, the muted colors, an unseen destination. Very evocative shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:35:14 PM
Love the lines in this!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 03:39:42 PM
Good shot. A bit on the dark side but nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:28:31 PM
Very interesting lines and shapes in this. Reminds me of a video game, perhaps of the 007 I used to play as a kid. Very interesting composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 04:04:35 AM
interesting but a little dark

03/11/2009 10:21:45 PM
Excellent! I LOVE the yellowy tone to this - complimented by the yellow tiles. Beautifully composed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 08:42:53 PM
I did this for so many years, it is at the same time nostalgic and painful. Nice capture and presentation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Something different and I definately like it. Excellent light and composition. 10.

03/11/2009 01:29:34 PM
Interesting shot. I wonder if you had the noise in the walls on purpose. Good thought provoking idea.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:45:14 PM
all the lines and bright yellow color here keeps the eyes busy, good job seeing this

clean composition, good graphic work. could be a hair brighter and less noisy.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 09:47:20 AM
Not liking this to much. Maybe in black and white or something but the focus is off and that red thing on his head? Dont know what that is but its a distraction.
