Excellent shot Costas. The low angle and the person adds a lot to this fine moody picture with the fine perspective given by the street lamps.

Not appealing at first sight on the thumbnail, but what a good suprise with the large version. The guy (you?) is well positioned, vertically, balancing the huge perspective. However I do not like the frame.

A very good one, Costas, you put it perfectly in scene.
The perspective trough the low angle, the generally dark aspect, brightened by the lamps and the reflections/leaves(?).
Work of PS or a filter? However - excellent.

The lighting and perspective make this most effective, Costas. I do not think that the frame does this justice.

manny (22032) 2004-01-06 7:43

Very impressive. The perspective, the line of light, the diagonal "line" on the road, they are very well-seen and they make this shots extremely powerful. The frame can certainly be improved.

It remembers me David Lynch and its fantastic films
Excellent perspective and excellent photograph, the only thing that I moved to it was the frame. I find that it was perfectly dispensable

Nice angle, well executed. I like the mood portrayed here. The only thing that interferes with the composition is the frame. A non-textured frame ina complimentary color would do this composition more justice.

Exposure's fine and angle just right down to the ground ! Wide angle supposed and those lamp post are like to infinity and looked very 'self timer' shot

I like a lot that picture! The composition, the point of view from where the photographer took its subject, le colors, the textures on the ground... very very nice! The only negative comment I could give relate to the lack of sharpness on the character, on his jacket... I have made a WS to try to increase it, only on him... and not on the remainder of the photograph. Great shot Costas! Interesting frame too.

Impressive shot! Great composition...

Composition et angle de prise de vue originaux.
La teinte orangйe qui inonde le clichй rend bien l'ambiance nocturne urbaine. Trиs joli clichй !

Very expressive photo, for once there's no need for a note. Well done.

Yes .. that's a good one. Very good perspective, very effective and quality composition. Superb placement of teh elements in the photo. Lines, leafs make a very interesting and really beautiful carpet on the road. Espectacular light overall the photo. And Superb details, reflections, shapes of the subject.

I agree with the most of those that already have comment this photo. I have been looking a lot at the frame. First I really like it, but now I'm not quite sure it it has been better without. Haven't tried with colored frame, but guess black could be a good color. Will post a wokshop without frame, so everybody can compare by themself... since you got a lot of comments on that one, I find it strange that not any one had work out a workshop of the alternative.

But the photo is excellent Costas. Really like this one.

Excellent capture and composition.

spyros60 (158) 2004-01-15 17:26

Costas that's a nice composition with great color.
I like the prespective that drives me someware!!

vagmak (225) 2004-01-16 4:55

Amazing photo.

hojper (2832) 2004-01-16 16:34

I love the way you combine the angle, the perspective and the light. The black leathercoat is almost shining.
This could be a movie poster for a movie with James Dean. Great.

nikon (107) 2004-01-19 17:31

Amazing. Excellent way you combine the angle, the perspective and the light.

agarcia (393) 2004-01-31 11:35

Wonderful composition! The exposition is simply perfect. I like the fact that you placed the camera at such a low level (in the floor, I guess). It gives the image a lot of deep. Well Done!

maciekda (19895) 2004-01-31 13:57

I really like the perspective here, looking from the ground... very moody scene.

Intruder (3099) 2004-03-14 23:21

great perspective, well done Costas

nbournas (3229) 2004-05-24 12:03

Excellent shot Costa. Great DOF.

Enia (365) 2004-05-25 19:44

Costa I do like your photo a lot. Gives me a feeling of loneliness in a cold dark night of winter...You created a magnificent scene succesfully. (I'll agree with the others about the frame though).

charmante (1090) 2004-07-05 7:21

great perspective..I like everything in yopur picture..great yellow colors Costas !

Xalkida (11744) 2004-08-29 17:04

Very nice composition Kosta. The road seems to drive to ...nowhere in the middle of the night! Great job! Maybe -IMHO- a white frame woulb be more applicable.

excellent frozen and melancolic feeling! i live at Milano and you managed to give the usual night winter atmosphere perfectly! Hope yoy didn't got cold by lying on the road in order to shoot the photo!

Didi (61589) 2004-12-14 14:23

Bel effet de perspective, la faible hauteur de la camйra posйe sur pied donne une belle profondeur а la composition.
Bon travail Costas.

Beautiful effect of prospect, the low height of the camera posed on foot gives a beautiful depth to the composition.
Well done Costas !

dimitrisT (928) 2004-12-29 7:28

Excellent colours and perspective! The low angle works fine! I like the texture of the road!
I would also prefer it without the frame. Maybe without the person too! A totally empty road, with such depth, would be quite dramatic! A very nice picture, anyway!

paolino (1024) 2005-07-08 14:52

Good work, Costas. The POV and the lights are great. I like the B&W frame too, it's very effective.

Well done Paolo
