This photo reminds me to an old masterpiece directed by Orson Welles: "Touch of evil". Good contrast here, kind of strange atmosphere. Take care.

I love this night shot. It has a wonderful sense of mood and life. THere are so many things going on in this shot that I would love to sit and just look at it: the children, the women, men, taxis, shoppers. with a wonderful sky to cover it all.

I really like it

I like your photo. On the ground: Many people, cars, poles etc. In the air many lines and placards. All this creates a sort of disorder. And from this disorder arises a feeling of liberty. A great Photo. Christophe

Great work you did in Mexico. This one is among my top 3. Subject is pretty simple by itself. And everything is in the shot : croping, light (what a sky), DOF (were you using a tripod ?), and all those little details showing you waited for the perfect compo : child crossing, people and car on the front, car coming. Wow, a great exemple...
