Times Square Photo

Photographer’s Note

It’s better not to write anything than to write too much. There is no medium way - that’s New York.

hi peter
nice idea. a bit of randomness in what seems like a pretty random location. i like the leaping person on the billboard.

Absolute mess of advertisements and shiny billboards... But I like the feeling it creates. Indeed, times square...

A very nicely rendered image Peter - the foreground car running acros the whole frame and reflecting the lights and signs from the other side to create a complete tableaux all the way up the image is really good - a great DOF achieved for the aperture - the subtle capture of the figures and their view on the world is also really very nice - i like both their expressions very much.

like Rowan I pick up on the isolated billboard figure nicely placed at the top right third where it both demands attention and provides us with a whokle new set of possibilities and stories in this complex and fascinating image.

best wishes KEv

very full picture! one could look at different parts of it for ages. The drivers expression is very good, as well as placed very well under all the posted faces. The reflection of what is probably Times Squares central and more famous billboard relegated to a reflection on the car is a very interesting idea, and also real and reflected lights everywhere.
Well composed and well captured. Well done.
