This doesn't do much for me to be honest, it's kind of a dull subject and it's not very sharp and the composition doesn't do anything for me.

I like the perspective, using the lights to draw the viewer into the photo... but aside from that, there isnt much else that grabs my attention. Sorry.
03/17/2009 10:22:25 AM
Good idea. Needs more detail and WB.
03/17/2009 09:23:55 AM
Nice lead in lines with the railing and rectangular lights, followed by the round lights providing a stop-point. I might have cropped slightly tighter on the right and top to emphasize those features & I feel I'm missing a main subject at the end of the path where the light lead me to. Of course there's never a subject around when you need one :-)

What does the picture say? Reminds me of a college campus in the winter.
03/16/2009 10:34:43 PM
cold

too much of a snap shot , sorry. Lack impact & appeal
03/15/2009 09:24:00 PM
Well exposed night shot.

great mood, multiple exposure layering would have worked here imo

It's well done... the lighting is interesting... yet still I think I'm looking at a photograph of a light fixture. *sigh* Sorry... I don't know how else to say that.

Interesting composition but the subject doesn't really hold my interest.

Congrats, you get my 500th comment in this challenge...

interesting perspective, good use of leading lines, the sepia works well here eliminating the color factor leaving only the structural elements ...

I like the concept of this photo but sharper focus would have given it a better scorre

Not too inspiring an image. I don't really understand how this can be your best photo ever taken and hidden gem.
03/14/2009 11:07:08 PM
Nice glow on the front light but other than thatit's not doing much for me, sorry.
03/14/2009 10:15:22 PM
interesting mood image a little on the dark side but its still interesting
i like hiow the rails sends you along into the image
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 07:16:08 PM
not so interesting - well exposed
03/14/2009 05:22:38 PM
Good idea but not much to hold interest.
03/14/2009 03:35:22 PM
Nice mood, love those lights

03/14/2009 10:46:32 AM
Interesting POV.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:22:21 PM
My opinion - the front light could have been sharper and more in focus. Maybe get tighter on it and crop the left side to where the steps start (I think those are steps anyway).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 06:20:35 PM
might have been cool to set this at long exposure and had someone walk by with their hand on the rail. to get a ghostly effect
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 05:59:52 PM
I like the feel of the picture, but it doesn't seem to draw me in to a main subject. I notice the first light the most, and it gives good ambiance, but it doesn't hold my interest long.
03/13/2009 02:25:15 PM
Nice sense of darks/lights. Good overall composition!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 12:50:19 PM
I think this photo could benefit from a stronger composition.
03/13/2009 12:29:16 PM
just doesn't engage me as it should...not a terrible shot...just doesn't pull me in...sorry
03/13/2009 11:50:52 AM
Would like this better if it was sharper.
03/13/2009 10:23:23 AM
Nice warm colors of the night here.

I don't get the title or the image.. sorry
03/12/2009 11:12:52 PM
Interesting!

cool lines in this image

Very Zen.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 08:51:54 AM
Interesting title and picture. I like the focus on the one lamp. Most would have detailed the walkway so good on you for that.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 07:40:09 PM
Interesting shadows.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:31:55 PM
i would have shifted the view a little to the left, so the railing is not in the middle of the photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:26:50 PM
I like the line of lights off into the distance
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 12:29:33 PM
Let's go for a stroll.

03/11/2009 12:25:05 PM
interesting exposure and realistic wb

03/11/2009 10:45:27 AM
A nice empty street. I like the focus on the single light...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 10:06:30 AM
Reminds me of late nights coming home from the library in college for some reason.

Like the depth in this shot. Would have liked the front light a little sharper focused.
