I'm in awe... Gotham at it's finest! Great impact and it evokes an emotion in me of the fear ot the "unknown."

Quite impressive to show the tight ally with a similar cropping. Very well done!

Rather dark and narrowly cropped, but that sense of claustrophobia may have been part of the intentiopn

I like this. really brings out the narrow or closing in feeling of the walls. for my tastes is a bit too dark causing some details to be lost.

I love this photo. I would have liked more brightness and contrast, but you did such a great alley shot. Nicely done.

This is a beautiful image. I really wish it were larger to get the full effect.

I really like this alot...My only wish is that it were a little larger...the max 640 allowed by DPC...a very interesting image none the less.

Good use of lines and nice title! Perhaps the picture will elicit more "feel" if this scene can be framed by your actual window from where you took this from. Hope you don't mind my comments. :)

wonderful shot and composition. i love the warm light coming through the windows on a cold looking place. 8

Great..love that it remains dark without lost details..shot makes me feel cramped, and that means it works!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the concept, and the title works really well. I would have liked a slightly wider shot if possible, and some more detail visible in the brickwork, but I do like the colours and warmth of the lit window. Good work.

I like that a lot, brings back fond memories of my dorm in nyc. The only suggestion i have would be to fix the angle a tad, its tilted a bit

This is so close to being a great picture. It's a little too dark for my tastes but I'm not sure whether to blame that on the picture or my monitor!! Good capture anyway. 7

captures apartment crowding nicely :)

I think the only thing hurting this shot (IMHO) is it's actual size. I love the perspective you've chosen and the DOF is spot on.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 01/03/2006 08:14:05 PM
this is very clever...an excellent view of city life. i know it's already about as tight as you can go but i wish you cropped off the extra black on the left.
