Well, some defaults of course, but I like this "so 70's" photo. I was inside the Tokyo Tower, something like the Eiffel Tower, but in Red & White. The view on Tokyo is outstanding from there, even if I prefer this crazy city from the ground. As often, I took this photo for the colors, this blue, this yellow, even this red...

And of course all these reflections.

What an interesting composition. It immediately reminded me of the film "2001: A Space Odyssey" for multiple reasons: the women's outfits, the long frame, the muted, pastel colors, and the reflections of the walls and ceilings. Excellent shot!

Fascinating picture: it really has a weird, retro-futuristic feel to it. I think it's the colours and the women's (I almost wrote "costumes") outfits. And the setting. And their poses. I really like it.

But why isn't the black in the bottom half very black?

You're right Cedric. This photo has a very 70's touch, maybe even 60's. When did you take it? In the early nineties? I like the colors (the yellow of the dresses and the blue-ish) a lot, as yellow and blue are my favs (just look at the toplogo + background of my website to see what I mean Cedric!:)) and the little red fire-extinguisher is a funny detail. One slight note of critique: the photo seems to be a little overexposed (the windows are too white/light and the stairs is a little too dark. Maybe you could have better used a fill-flash?

Nice composition, nice colors. Everything was said (I won't get a "usefull" point for this one, I know) but the pix deserves a smiley.

J'aime beaucoup la construction de cette photo avec ce cadrage vertical et l'ambiance qui s'en dégage.
Les deux jeunes femmes donnent une touche surréaliste à l'ensemble, on se demande ce qu'elles font là.
Belles couleurs aussi.

Very eye-catching photo, Cedric. It reminds me of Bladerunner, actually due to the cramped-dark space.
