I really like the tones and contrast of this photo. I like the composition as well, but am curious as to why you chose to put more space behind the bench as opposed to in front of it. Very, very nice!

yer colors gladden me eyes, but yer composition bothers me...
methinks photo would've worked better if the subject was off-centered and the focus was sharper...
bangin' photo anyways!

I've been there :-) Wonderful composition and colours are excellent, I like the balance and how you caught both stillness; the empty street on the left, and movement; the car that is about to drive away (exhaustion fumes) on the left. Then there is the woman waiting in the middle, about to leave, and the guy on the poster, wanting to play . An absolute fave, well done.

Sometimes you see an image and get an immediate and lasting impression from it. Perhaps it is because it is so unexpected, or maybe it is because it makes real life seem surrealistic. This image does that and more. It conjures up all sorts of questions: Why is the woman seated that way? What is she thinking? Why is she the only one there and what does that mean?

The muted colors and dark tones are great. I'd suggest improvments but can't think of any. This is a fabulous image and should place very high in the challenge.

I think one of three possible winners. Wonder if people would prefer more room on the left side of the photo. I think it is perfect. 10

Very nice colours. I vote this high - despite the cut off car.

Though a wonderful picture, it doesn't unfortunately meet this challenge in my view.

I really like this shot but it is not Low-Key.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/23/2006 01:19:24 AM
imho, I would've liked to see less of the car and just a little bit less detail for a more lower-key color effect.

great image, but not low key...

I like the city feel. I think it could even be a little darker. Nice use of slight desat.
