Waoo very nice! What an interesting and -to me- exotic "rush hour" actually ;)

Yes, this must be rush huor because all the traffic is going in the same direction:) A fine picture to, I like the diagoal composition and the low light from the side. The short DOF lets us concentrate on the people in the foreground, but I think a deeper DOF also would have worked.

Waow! Perfect light, framing and colors. Details in the foreground are superb. It conveys a lot of atmosphere too. I like your short DOF choice, as the blurred background adds to the mood of this beautiful image.

J'aime beaucoup cette diagonale si fragile. L'ouverture de l'objetif est parfaite et la lumiиre trиs belle. Bravo !

Nice shot, particularly the light on the people crossing this bridge. It would have been interesting to have a bigger DOF so that everyone would be sharp. I don't really see a reason for having the people at the back blurred since there is not a main motive in the foreground.

Beautiful, original scene. You have a very good angle here and I like the DOF very much. I also like the lines of the bridge. One of my favorites!

I love the picture. At first I was surprised by the DOF, but I think it works well. Makes the bridge look longer...

What I like here is the DOF moving nicely back into the shot. If the whole frame was in focus, I think the shot would not have the same impact. My only small nitpick is that the man with some sort of animal in the background spoils the shot for me. I would have liked to see only the people on the bridge as the main attraction of the shot.

very good DOF control, let...
I like your framing as well, almost all of the bridge is shown. And the sidelighting makes it very dramatic.

Terima kasih sdh mengabadikan moment langka ini..
Salam hangat dari Jogja,
