I like the perspective and the exposure. I just think that this right part is too dark. Good luck, sorry if i was rude.

I don't care for the yellowness of this, but I think it's a really neat alleyway/street.

Interesting shot. I like the leading lines, and how they take the viewer down the street. Might be nice as a black and white too.

Lovely composition of a near abandoned alleyway in Nice during the late hours. Nice moody shot with the single pedestrian.

Beautiful shot.

a very interesting street..could your exposure have been a little slower to let in just a bit more light? (I do not know...just wondering)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Needs more of a subject to me to have a high score. Still a good shot.

I know Nice like the back of my hand ... not because I live there ... but because I have spent so much time there. This captures the essence of the place. Well done.

I love the look of narrow streets like this. Unfortunately, the lighting's usually not the best.. Also would be nice if this were sharper.

A nice glow to this.

Beautiful night image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 03:11:29 PM
Wow! Lots of yellowish light, but night sky is still nice and blue. Not sure I believe your title - this could be a lot more creepy than nice for me.

Interesting only one person.

When I was in college, I took a Film as Literature class. In it, the prof talked about strategies used by filmmakers to build tension, especially in horror flicks or dramas. One of them was to use a narrow passage and light it with yellow and/or red. This is what this shot reminds me of. The blue slither gives just a little bit of hope, but it feels like the bad guy will jump out at any minute.

This is really great. What a neat feel this shot has.

Great night shot in this empty street with just one person. Nice combination of the yellow light and the blue sky.

I wory for the person walking alone. Nice light.

I enjoy the glowing light night wit a piece of blue peaking through. This came out out like a painting. well done.

So evocative. Love it, stunning.

This image feels a tad pixellated. The whole image has a sort of yellow cast over it from the light sources which makes the blue of the sky seem rather artificial.

This is great for mood.

Great potential, but the tonal qualities are bad, kind of a puke yellow green on my monitor, perhaps a B/W would have worked better, with an inch off the left side or a pan to the right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 03:55:11 PM
Nice Nice. A little distraction on the left side for me(the vertical bars). Crop out some more of that and it would help I think. I lke the rest of it.
