A view from the old city center at capital city, people walking so fast before raining. Before Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower were built, the blue white Maybank building in trapezium shape was the landmark building for Kuala Lumpur.

I am totally agree with your wishes Ally. Every year we repeat the same thing but the world goes crazy every passing year.

I hope peace and fairness will prevail one day.

Best wishes for the new year,

Tolga

Selamat datang Ally. My sentiments exactly. Seeing KL I am feeling almost homesick, especially when in Melbourne we are having the coldest summer in seven years. I love the idea of being somewhere hot. Nice urban scene and effective composition. Have a safe, happy and healthy 2009. Klaudio.

Olá Ally, excellent vertical framing to fit both the tall buildings and the busy street scene with people running in every direction like ants in a maze. The scale is big and I can't say I like the skyscrappers being right next to the other smaller colorful buildings. Let's hope for a better year...
Wish you a Happy 2009!

Nice capture Ally, nothing ordinary in here for most of us, the mix of old and new is very appropriate for a new year photo. Your list of NOs is commendable if unobtainable, happy New Year.

Hi Ally

A good daily life scene from KL. Superb sharpness & colour, & smart choice of a vertical format. Happy New Year to you and your family!

pierrefonds (26823) 2009-01-02 4:51

Hi Ally,

The presence of the people has an effect of scale. The diagonal line made by the street is an asset to the composition. The point of view takes our eyes toward the highrise buildings in the background which is giving depth and perspective to the photo. The cloudy sky is filtering the light which is enhancing the colors. All the best for the New Year 2009, health and peace.

Hello Ally:

Thanks for the good wishes. I also wish for you a year full of success and happiness as well as all your beloved family.

The photo is well connected to your note. If the capitalist world does not react, the economy and society will be in trouble. Good point of view of this aspect of Kuala Lumpur, a modern and booming city of Asia.

A hug, John

Hi Ally,

this view looks very similar to São Paulo downtown, the city where I was born. Very good choice for the vertical framing and excellent sharpness. You are right about what you write in your note. My full support! Great job!
Regards,
Carlos

jafadabret (40651) 2009-01-05 10:35

Bonjour Ally.
Je suis parfaitement d'accord avec les voeux que tu formules pour le monde de 2009. La photo est intéressante pour montrer l'évolution des villes en plein développement. Les grands édifices se sont fait une place au coeur de la vieille cité.
Bien vu !
Jacques

Happy New Year to you, Ally.
All that you wish for, all those No's will never come true, Sorry to say it. That's just a fact. Maybe one day, just maybe there will be no war between countries but there will be war between people. The rest will be there, it's part of society.
This is a good image to for a good wish to all, showing the city scene of KL. Nice details and good composition. thanks
Way

Hi Ally,
Great architecture contrast between all these buildings and houses, well captured to made a good shot.

stego (22500) 2009-01-08 18:53

Hi Ally,
I admire your talent for this kind of apparently casual street snapshots that are very effective presenting the places, its daily life, colours and mixed architecture styles, and at the same so pleasing to look at.
I hope God, whatever name men call Him (Allah, Buddha, Xiva, Ra, Jehovah, whatever) ear your wishes.
Regards, José.

Hello Ally,
interesting city scene, city life, city mood! It's a little pity that the day is not sunny but at least the only "plus" in this case is that there is no deep contrast light and everything is seen very clearly!
Very good composition. And, strange as it might seem, the people walking across the street (as well as the yellow stripes on the road) balance very well the high towers in the BG.
Happy New Year! And I wish you peace and happiness!
Elena
