Comment by Alicia:
Avant guarde was the first word that popped into my head when I saw this image. From the thumb you can't really tell what's going on, but it is interesting enough to want to find out.

In many ways this photo is brilliant - the circular design in conjunction with the motion blurred pedestrians gives a great swirling feeling.

Your focal point - the man on the black animal bench - is perfectly positions per the rule of thirds. The colors are very pretty, crisp and clear. A feast for the eyes.

I'm torn about the escalator on the bottom right. On the one hand it is visually interesting, but it is also distracting. I've held my hand over it to see how the photo would look without it and I find it would benefit from the absence of the escalator. However, I realize there was probably nothing you could do about it without cropping too drastically.

The title is good and supports the message of the photo. Also handy in case someone doesn't see the focal point of the image.

That all said, I'm giving it an 8. Hope other voters appreciate the quirkiness of this excellent composition.

The Gardens End

oh i can hear you breathing
you're picking up my scent
you're trying to hunt me down
in the hope that i'll give in
but i know these tracks better
than i know you ever could
you're breathing down my neck but
it will only make me win

nobody wanted this
not after all these years

still the darkness draws us deeper in just like a trap
but now ive got you here ill never lead you back
for the gardens end is where the wilderness begins
you dug a hole for me that i'll bury you in
And if you raise the dead now i might lead you back
and if you cut your hair i might leave a mark

nobody wanted this
not after all these years
nobody noticed you
but now there're on to you

you say you are the lost love
but the winters coming and the snow will cover tracks
i'll be watching 'cos i'm hunting you

nobody's buying this
not after all these years
cos somebody's noticed you
but now i'm on to you
