      Thanks. The subject made quite an impression on me - to the extent that I delayed/annoyed my family I was with to get this shot..

      A great shot!!! Reminds me of SF Buckaroo.

      Like this lots and lots. Unfortunately the white light on the sign is just too glarey and I'd have liked more traffic streaks. Very nice though. Welcome to DMU, if I haven't said that already.

      these is something very compelling about this image... but brendadada hit it with the need for more trafficy elements to make it more dynamic

      close to being a cool shot but the car doesn't work for me here. I would prefer to see this in landscape.

      not doing it for me ... just doesn't look composed at all ...

      If the car was incorporated into the composition (light trails or some other interesting contribution) instead of just poking into the frame as a distraction, this might work.

      Very interesting feedback. I was trying to give the impression that nobody was interested in the statement on the door. Some comments from me: I tried a slower shutter speed, but the pedestrian and car were blurred and you couldn't tell whether they were interested in the message. I actually liked this one most because it gave the impression that neither were the slightest bit interested. And landscape orientation introduced all sorts of distracting rubbish around the scene... Oh well, you lose some, you lose some!

      I like the fact that the "Look Deeper" sign is being peered at by the cctv, the moodiness, the way it looks like an interior...don't like the stuff the moaning minnies don't like, but there's enough here for a save, I reckon...

      Been back to this one a couple of times. I like the way it turned out. Nice job.

      Interesting photo and great study. The only thing that would prevent me from voting save, is that if I were looking through a book there is nothing to make me look at this picture twice. Then again---I have looked at this more than twice.

      I don't like that distracting piece of orange light. Otherwise it's very good.

      The car in the foreground seems out of place and doesn't add to the image imho. I don't know if you could've, since the person was walking, but a tighter composition I think may have helped.

      Good luck, voting is close...

      I've come back to this several times. I agree that the light above the words is a problem, but it's a forgivable one.

      And then, when you actually get round to voting, someone's already saved the picture.

      Congratulations, Coxee.

      You may take this to the FOLIO!
