Exceelent Hannes. Lovely tropical colours, a good POV and well detailed. An ever so slight tilt to the horizon but not enough to spoil the image. TFS,

Hi Natalia. A lovely smaller portrait. I would have preferred to see it in the maximum sized allowed bit it does not alter the fact that it has been well executed. Good colour and lovely skin tone. TFS,

More Chinatown! Never got to see this more quiet part...Very interesting vantage point to let that road give a sense of perspective and depth, and it leads the eye to the back of the shot and at the sides too. Good composition and balance. I agree with you about the car, although there's not much you can do about that...however! You can maybe try cloning it out in photoshop. See if that works. The sky is looking really bright, and it's distracting in comparison to the darker tones in the street and on the buildings below, maybe select the sky as a different layer in the original shot and make sure you do not brighten it along with what's below. And also watch for that distracting pink glowing bit at the top left corner, you can just crop that off easily, that would also help decentering the focal point (the way background where the car is) and thus create more balance. Sorry about all the nitpicking but I love your shots of New York (I love New York :) ) and I think you have an eye for interesting scenes and compositions. I love the element of life and character with the man walking calmly with his hands behind his back at the right side. Great shot, TFS!

it doesn't bother me that the photo is so dark, actually, I like that a lot!!
I only notice that the man's face isn't complete sharp. And I think that when you have a dark picture like this, sharpness is very important!
I like the composition and colors very much!! Great work!

Oh by the way, I've made a workshop with this photo. I cropped it tighter and sharpened the face a little bit. What do you think about it?
