Time is Money, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

Something from the Terminal, something from the Thomas Crown Affair, you just have to name it. Canada Square at Canary Wharf in London is the place where you immediatly smell the essence of the busiest place in the City. I went completely dizzy over the tight air and moody office people running around. I wish I could be there alone. Such an ellegant twsited touch of creative design in placing the multiply clocks around the place. I do love the colour of the shot as well. Tell me what you think.

Hola Vitali,
La poderosa presencia de los relojes, el suelo mojado y los fuertes colores y contrastes hacen de ella una interesante composición. Gran atmósfera y muy buen trabajo. (great shot, i like the strong colors and contrasts. Great compo and POV)
Saludos,
Mirari

Interesting image. The clocks and business men make an excellent connection in the context. Very well composed, and I also like the dark tones.

Hello Vitali,
I love the warm colours, and the use of black in this image. The foreground figures and clocks are very well placed. It is a pity that the background figures are confused with the van and sculpture - but not much you could do about them I suspect.
A strong image, with a good sense of place.
Best wishes....Maggie

there is a very special atmosphere in this picture, due to the pov, which shows the three clocks, and the silouhettes of the people, almost without personality
Very good and original composition
Ciao Stefano

Цвета очень даже понравились, особенно интересно получились циферблаты. Понравились двое на переднем и среднем плане в очень похожих рубашках, галстуках и с похожим положением правой ноги, которая почти касается земли. Почти наверняка получилось случайно, но главное - результат. Ребята немного смахивают на клонов или роботов одной серии :) Жалко только, что секундные стрелки на часах находятся в разных положениях, может быть стоило их попытаться подправить вручную для полноты картины?

Hi Vitali.

Mirari has writen a very good critique but I will my point. Because I agree her but also I would add: longer exposure would be fantastic for this photo.

Thanks for sharing.
