Wok in Europe

An Asian way of cooking fried noodle at the centre of Europe. Big flashy fire and drooling salivas from onlookers.

This is really interesting. I'm not quite sure where to look - inside the window or out.

The busy-ness of it is a little distracting to me, but that's also what makes it.

This is a super shot, it makes me hungry and dizzy at the same time, and the woman in the window looking for a menu is great! very nice capture of the flame and your contrast is very good. How would it look in black and white I wonder?

A very messy, cluttered shot but somehow it seems to work. The eye does wander looking for a point of focus but seems to stop with the triangle of the two main figures and the flames. Not a shot I would normally like but for me this works.

A visual feast indeed. I like the confusion. It provides so much to look at, all of it centred on the flames. The reflections result in many layers of information that hold the interest.

"Love it ... Hate it ... Too messy ... Great focus on everything."

Okay that was a lot to take in. It took me a while to get it and I certainly needed the description to get my bearings in this picture, but I like it ... I think. Yes, I do . . . No, I don't . . .know

To be honest, this type of picture is usually done with only a simple subjects both in front and behind the glass. They are also in black in white most of the time. Being conditioned for that, makes this picture all the more alive and vibrant. Which elicits quite a response, which is the whole point of photography in the first place.

So great picture. I don't know yet if I like it or not, but that's exactly what makes it great.
