I love the tone, for me it adds to the overall sense of coldness and isolation one can experience in a city even when surrounded by too many people...I feel like I am alone in a city I don't know and keeping my head down when I walk, focusing on the road and doing my best to ignore the crowds... I love it!
Ditto what cgino said. This is social commentary--alone in a crowded city. Great image.
Deb, I love this, almost as much as your pinhole version. Whilst like how the foreground leads you into the crowd of people I like how a crop from bottom to just below the first pedestrians foot makes the image take on a whole knew look and I might prefer it.
Again, I recognized this as a 'Melethia' from the thumbnail. I have studied and used your Basic Acid tutorial. Very nice shot and processing. I like the way the focus on the pavers leads the eye into the scene. Odd that it doesn't draw the eye to the negative space. It does give enough focus to the image to let the viewer know that the blur is intentional.
