Laura from Birmingham, United Kingdom

the woman looks like she's walking straight at you. Very dramatic, almost looks like a graphic novel.

Eleftheria from Athens, Greece

Wonderful atmosphere!

27 Jan 2009 4:43pm

@Eleftheria: Thanks Eleftheria

Mirko Herzner from Mühlheim am Main, Germany

A lovely effect here which works also good in b/w. For my personal taste it's a bit too much HDR here as can be seen around the cranes...

27 Jan 2009 4:57pm

@Mirko Herzner: I know where you're coming from, I felt it was a bit overboard, but still liked the effect!

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States

This is a very cool image. It's a busy scene with the ships, cranes and people. So, there's lots to look at. Love the B&W.

@Steve Rice: Thanks Steve

Polydactyle from Montreal, Canada

Strong composition and b/w. This girl with no umbrella appears out of nowhere. Nice shot!

Rags from Plano, United States

It kinda looks gloomy but it is an awesome image.

27 Jan 2009 5:40pm

@Rags: Thanks Rags

EYES WIDE SHUT from United Kingdom

Overboard or not, what a finished presentation! For me, it works so well, the quality is exceptional and the slightly surreal feeling to the HDR enhances the composition still further. An absolute gem, Dave

27 Jan 2009 6:05pm

@EYES WIDE SHUT: Thanks Eyes

Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada

terrific streetshot. I like your choice of strong contrast -- that's usually my preference as well with black and whites. There is so much to treat the eye in this.

27 Jan 2009 6:13pm

@Diane Schuller: Thanks Diane

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

I like the silvery nature of this shot, its quite a surreal finish, but a good one none the less.
