Excellent shot Ali!!! An ideal use of B&W in my opinion. Lovely lines and symmetry too.

Look like a busy time of the day and a busy mall. I'm not sure about the B&W for this image Ali? Some poeple look like mannequins with blacked out faces, perhaps the contrast is too high? Although in another sense thats very interesting as well!

That is a beautiful shot, I'd feel I had to dress up a bit to shop there.

Hey Ali, cool shot. I like the lines of the roof. Thanks for your tips on my night photography. I'm looking forward to getting another try at it.

A few days you were asking about my 'double exposure' picture. I used Photoshop to insert the second image on top of the first. I then just played with the opacity of the layers. In the past, when using film, photographers would take a second photo without advancing the film after the first photo was taken.

Incredible central composition here. The BW treatment works well, also. I like the way you presened this. Fine work. Regards, Brent

Beautiful photograph and building. I've come to expect nothing less. :) The columns and circular lines in the roof give it an "older feel" which really works for Black & White.

I've changed my opinion about the 70-300 lens Ali. For the price (under $200) it really is very versatile. I've used it to shoot macro, telephoto, and everyday shots. Although the telephoto doesn't zoom as far as I would prefer, a little more zoom costs a great deal more.

I got your email and I'm back for another look. I'm can't really comment on much though as there doesn't seem to be very much difference between before and now.
However I would say that I have noticed the symmetrical aspect and the perspecticve of the image this time, perhaps that the stronger impression for me in this instance?
