Perfect photo image and I just love the shadow of the rosary. Good work.

Erik Van Straten, I like all the tones and lines in this and the perfect place of the woman in the composition. The only thing that could be better is a man on the stair landing below the woman in the frame.

Doomster, I like how you got this without him looking at the camera. I can imagine how much those bottles weigh, how much that cord holding them bites into his shoulder, and how far he has come and yet to go. Simple but has story, and your composition completes it.

Photony Texas, the context of the multiple exposures comes together perfectly with this.

Jukka, everything just blends in and works perfectly here, reflections in the windows and off the paving stones, details of telephone poles, wires and the cross on the steeple anchored by the low clouds in the sky, the starburst headlights, all differentiated by the subdued color palette. That's what I like about this, it made me examine it.

Wpalank, lovely for sure, I really like the subdued colors, they just seem to work really well.

Jw52tx, nice use of the ultra wide here, the light, tones, composition, and the moment and body language of the girl completes it. Well done.

icebear, I like the reflections in the floor, and the guys in their suits with their big "$hit eating grins" getting their shoes shined. The hotel lobby like surrounding add a lot to the composition and atmosphere.
