Another busy precise scene Than, Good work. Always fun to see the contrasting life style from mine. I cropped to the family on the left to women on the right as I found them to be the first subjects to lead you into the scene. I eliminated the bright street light too. Posted: 07/06/2024 18:37:33
Thanks! I appreciated your lighting adjustment. Posted: 07/21/2024 04:12:08
I agree with Rob...the bright street light had to go. What is the subject? Yes, it is the street scene but could just as easily been the people. I enlarged and cropped the image to
get rid of the big advertising signs and just show the people and their activity. They are very active. Nice capture of a street that is not familiar to us. Posted: 07/10/2024 17:55:39

I think this gives a feel for a night market, which I have only read about. Yes, the steet light needs to go, but I like the way the shop signs lead the eye into the photo. I would like to go into those shops and see what they are selling. Posted: 07/12/2024 18:22:37
A feeling of business (or busy-ness) comes through. The lights overwhelm the people until the eye gets used to the brightness. I think the entire left third of the frame could be dropped. I like the way you maintained the vertical lines. Posted: 07/15/2024 12:49:03
I think I agree with the others, especially about the light. My eye did seem to wander around looking for something to rest on. You might try a slight vignette to help draw attention to the crowd at the bottom. It is an interesting scene. Posted: 07/19/2024 17:35:43
Thanks Mr. Dennis. I will do a slight vignette. Posted: 07/21/2024 04:13:21
