Taken from across the street. I wish I hadn't had my shutter so wide-open. That white wall is pretty blown out. Taken about 1:00 p.m. -- full (and then some!) sun.

I love this and the blown out area only adds to it's impact.

Blown definitely suits this. Love the vibrance of the color (yes, this is one that is best in color, methinks), and as usual your wonderful sense of composition/framing of everyday scenes to make them little mini-novels of sorts.

I really enjoy the colors in this shot... the way the wall of the building blends into the man's shirt seems to add to the sense of motion - as if he is popping in from the future... the shadows are interesting and I think the color of the curb is an excellent accent.

Like a lot. Blown suits it, a sort of midday dream.

This is beautifully composed and the overexposure works to accentuate and separate the colors and shapes. Seems only slightly oversaturated.

The high key works well with the only really blown-out part
being part of the guys shirt.
A perfect capture of the couple with the lovebird sign on the window.

the high key feel accentuates the shadows and mid day feel - the placement of the pedestrians is on the money - good job

Germaine, I think the over-exposure works very well, except for where it sort of bleeds into the walking couple. I like what the increased color saturation has done to the curb -- it's like they are walking next to lava! Nice connection between the couple and the Lovebird window sign.

The blown out wall doesn't bother me as much as the guy's shirt disappearing into it. Overall, though, I do like the image a lot. Nicely composed, with a sense of action and movement. I think the heavy shadows help the shot rather than hurt it.

Difficult lighting conditions for sure, but I do like the effect the brightness gives. Some great shadows there too.

On the contrary, I like the blown out wall and the focus on the shop window. If only we could see her too... Give me a sepia of this!!! You know you want to!

The colors interest me more than the action/candid part of the image. Were these colors (eps. the curb) somewhat accurate to the posted image?

Cool. This reminds me a bit of Oded's work.

I can't complain about the blown out wall. It somehow appeals to me. But the curb looks oversaturated. Is that how it already looked? I would have probably toned the curb down a little.
