Hi Latiff,
here we still have 24min., time to write one last critique.
What I really like here is the sky, which looks dramatic. The rail is important for the depth of the image and the colors are nice. I bet you didn`t have a tripod, therefore yu did a good job exposing the image.
I see you already have the new 5D Mark II, you like it? Mine is ordered, but not here yet, I can`t wait to hold it in my hand!

Take care
Mark

New Year Greetings,

this shot is good! what a nice Image for New Year. So you upgraded your tools too? Great to hear it. I am looking at my monitor screen now and perhaps because my monitor isn't calibrated with yours, making your image look a bit underexposed by 1/3 stops... well don't bother about that, what is most important is the composition.

I can see your Canon working great with the colors... perhaps DSLR will now be available to every enthusiast now...

Best New Year Regards,
Frisco

Hi Latiff,
I feel this business zone are not busy and prosperous as past years, do you agree? Last time me & friens like to eat at restaurants within this area, and sometimes the Pubs & Disco. Good pov to show the street, typical view in the city where the beauty shop is every where, thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year 2009!
Ally

Salam Latiff,
youre very much attached to the Solaris. I too, coz i like the alien style of place and this one is very different. Light and clouds give a special effect and feeling. The perspective by the railing , palms and road divider is very emphasized.
Brilliant composition.

Regards,
Foozi

Assalammualaikum Latiff,
It has been a while since I last update my gallery. And I'm probably the last person and the latest to greet you new year. Still...wishing you better and brighter as well as healthier days Latiff.

You have, almost a Gothic impression of the Solaris with this dark and foreboding atmosphere and I can see how your new gear has gotten it. Have been thinking of upgrading to full frame until sometimes in April. I hope the tripod serves you well too.
