we went to the mall today specifically for me to look at a sigma 18-200 lens .. the camera shop let me try it out on my camera and this is one of the shots i took with it ..
basic edit with paper texture from ...

I love the business of all the people. The paper texture gives this an older feel and then the other elements contrast that, for example the escalators. Cool picture.
Love this Roz!! Reminds me of a graphic or drawing for a mall project, with little generic people. Surreal feel to it. Love the different levels and the bustling of all the mall visitors. The perspective you offer the view is sort of detached - as if we're watching ants go about their business.
Are you going with that lens? I'm about to gear up for another lens myself.
You know - this is kind of a cool shot in that if you set it up a little better, you could really get the "sixth sense" (ghosts) effect given the lighting and the clear panels on the upper floor. As it stands though, with the silouettes and all it does look very cool.
Fantastic treatment! Love the interest on the different levels and the great wall of light behind everyone. Just fantastic.
Not having to change lenses is great, I got the 24-105 and I stays on most of the time. I'm hoping it'll save the sensor from dust too.
oh Roz, this is just great! I love thhe various textures of everything: light, life, people, moevement, architecture! what a very captivating image; not sure it's the lens or the PP or both but it sure strikes me as a winning combo!
Very different kind of effect, which works really well. Can imagine it as a print. I have the Nikon 18-200mm (or should that be had, as I dropped it and it's going to cost more to repair than replace!) and it is my all time fave lens. Sure it's not in the same league quality wise as the 17-55, but boy is it handy never having to change lenses! Go for it Roz, you'll love it.
