[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Magasin, the fanciest Danish department store. It stands on Kongens Nytorv (King's New Square) in Copenhagen. Every winter the building is decorated in a festive way. Copenhagen is a magical place and my favorite big city. It's very urban, very multicultural and yet there is something left of the old-fashioned Andersen storybook feeling. Quite a lot, actually. A place in my heart, Kobenhavn.

For the photo I used a wide angle perspective so that the billboard of luxury brand SAND would also be visible, enhancing the atmosphere of exclusivity in the area. I chose a small aperture in order to bring out the stars in the streetlights. The shutter speed was 10 seconds, I'm not sure why the site doesn't display this value.

Great§ Very graphical, excellent atmocphere and perfect composition. I like the contrast between the pitch black and the white traces of light.

I like this photo a lot - the stark black-and-white works very well, and the simple frame enhances this. The blurred road adds a great dynamic to the picture. Composition is excellent. So I'm giving it two points :)
Regards,
Matt
