Hey Hugh,
this is a nice picture.
I like the loghting and the colours.
Good job!

Patrick

hello Hugh,

Great streetscene. I love the combination of T. standing quiet and the 2 persons moving. Also funny with the flash on the ...how you call that in english ??? the orange thing with white stripes on the right side :DD sorry :DD
do you live in NY ? i think it's an amazing city to take pictures !
greetings, inn

Nice idea and reasonable execution, but to be honest there are areas of this that could (should?) be tidied up ... the cone on the right and the car in the top-centre are two points to which my eyes quickly went on viewing this shot - it took me a long while to notice the word on the pavement.
Anyway; nice lighting especially, perfect use of the fill-flash; it's sharp (where it needs to be) and the composition is solid.
Congrats

I don't know the poem, but T is perfect! I like the angle. Beautiful photo!!!

A crist nocturnal image in the sodium illumination. Agent T is looking in a jovial mood and ghost crossing the street is interesting. A beautiful capture my friend.

Thanks for sharing this picture.

Hi Hugh,
I like the golden tones of your nightshot, the stillness of T. and the blurred moving silhouettes, the road leading far away.
