Very nice composition! You made good use of the yellow marking on the street. And the addition of the moving car adds dynamism to the picture. A well thought out picture!

Hi BK

I like the yellow

Hi Xu, nice composition here. It shows well the contrast which can been seen in Singapore. There is an interesting stillness in this image itself contrasted by the moving car. I think the pic is a bit dark but it might be my screen. Anyway, good work :)
Ciao, Annick

The yelloe lines give good perspective!The blurry moving car is very interesting.Good urban shot!

A composition of contrast indeed. Very lovely Xu. Cheers Danilo

Your composition is just impeccable in all your photos and this one is no exception. The yellow line is just great in a almost b&w background. Long exposure is a good idea. TFS.

Hi Xu,
Indeed, what a contrast. I like the sharp yellow lines on the floor and the light. Very interesting composition with an excellent angle.

Hi BK,
excellent composition packed with great elements. Love the motion blur which represents the dynamic. Another great element is the yellow line whcih for me represents the boldness. All that and the great architechtural details makes it a very interesting composition to look at.
TFS..Sky

Wonderful shot BK

I love the way the yellow stands out and the effects of the moving car is excellent.
I love it.

Thanks for sharing my friend

Very nice composition BK, very good use of blur, bravo.


I going to make a break with TL and I would like to thank you for your support.
So long.

Steph.

Hi BK,
Very good perspective. I like the yellow line and the complex "old-new". Good idea to use low shutter speed.
Best regards
Ioannis

Hi BK,
Great contrast between the old and new. Great POV with the yellow marking as a great lead in line. I love the use of the shutter speed to get car as a less dominant subject in the photo.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Xu, I love the mood here created by the low light, and the movement blur in this nice composition on Old and New.

Well seen and well done! Take care, Yan :)
p.s. Many thx for your crit on "Beach Grass at Dusk". It really is appreciated.

Hi Bk,
I obviously like the urban shot but I find the compo is a bit unbalanced. What is very interesting is the sign and the motion blur created by the passing car. The rest of the compo, the buiding seems to have nothing to do with the lower half part of the image and then the billboard (?) on top of the building is too much. I would have tried a horizontal compo, no matter if you had cut the building.

Hi!
Very nice composition with dramatic foreground, while the title subjects remaind behind, being still.
Good work!
