very nice tones and atmosphere in this shot and i like, that you can only see the backs of all people in this picture (or do i see a man just left of the latern walking towards you?)

btw how do you like the zeiss 50 1.4?
i'm looking into buying a fast 50mm lens soon, and i've heard good things about that lens, the only thing that hinders me of getting it immediately is its price...

Happy Hour

this is really cool, the detail in the shadow is quite amazing. you captured her in the perfect pose and angle, i wonder what time you took this, must of been late afternoon or early morning?

according to your description that this place is not quite the busiest, this picture has quite some symbolisitc meaning to it, as if a shadow, a strucureless "object", is the only thing that brings live to that place.
well done!

you make me feel

wow, this looks really 3-dimensional, not only from a perspective but also emotional point of view.

what an unusual perspective to portrait a smile in ones face.
i love the softness of those curves and the grain, too.
it's a pleasure to look at this image, thanks!

wow, looks like you had her kneel on a spinning carousel. if that was not the case then how the heck did you get her face that sharp?!
anyways it's a great shot and good choice to have it monochrome

haha, this would be a nice shot for the current "body parts" challenge...;D
but honestly, what exactly did you try to achieve by cropping it like this?
