When I saw this, the first thing that came to mind was "Sounds of Silence". Very effective photo - especially in BW

Combined with the prices slashed sign, the absence of shoppers gives it an abandoned, or run-down atmosphere.

Love the mood of this shot. The window sign really helps make the shot.

I LOVE this image, the composition is so dynamic and the tones are wonderful. I love the glowing buildings with their super high contrast lines and words. Very nice!

Wow your black and white tones are awesome. The sign on the window really jumps out.

Fantastic photo, especially given your theme. Love it.

Well done, poignant desertion - and the irrelevance of the message when there's no one there to respond to it.

I like the "prices slashed" message as well as the emptiness...

The deserted shopping center adds a deeper message than that which is shown. This really gives a message of an economy in recession. Prices Slashed, yet no shoppers here.

Great lighting and B/W. Really gives a good sense of desertion.

What a great theme, I am really looking forward to seeing your weekly submission.

Love the use of black and white here. It really keeps it from being too busy. Also, it really seems to draw the eye to the corridor which I find very appealing. Great work.

I love this it draws your eye in and tells a story!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/04/2010 05:17:02 AM
That message is clear :)
I like the BW, it fits this image very well, probably it was quite busy in color.

Wonderful contrasts yet maintaining the details, great work on that. Nice set of diagonal and horizontal lines.

Wow, you chose a difficult theme. Hope you can find enough messages for a whole year, but I'm sure you will! Nice start with the strong contrasts in this B&W. I like the view to the end of the corridor and the message on the right. Just missing something on the left.

nice you really captured the serenity of new years day
guess everyone in Sydney had a hangover

Great high contrast. Without the context of the holiday I would think the prices were slashed due to the lack of shoppers!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Love the shot. Loads of different lines everywhere really give the eye something to peruse through, could be a scene from the beginning of one of those end of the world type horror film.
btw does that say 4 floors of shoes?! i want to go there! ; )

I love the almost grafitti-like quality of the "Prices slashed" sign....

Great moodiness....

I'm excited to get to go to NYC twice this year - hope to get some great street shots such as this. This is great.
