Hi shoenberg, Dean, Richard, Scott, Slobodan, Scott, Sneakyracer, Bob, Harsha, Dimitri, Dan, and Den,
Your feedback is very, very much appreciated!
shoenberg, I partly agree / can fully understand - let me come up with another shot of this spot showing NO people, just the light, colors, lines, shapes etc. It will be different, more minimalist, let's see.
Slobodan, glad you enjoy it - I wanted to keep this scene / everything in a, say, somehow blurred / vague ambience, but I'll think about your recommendations I really appreciate. The luminosity contrasts might be partly due to the application of Cokin filters I mentioned. I like those particular contrasts, have to admit.
Scott, it's just a single exposure. The perhaps a bit unusual contrasts (of highlights and shadows etc.) might be due to the application of Cokin filters I mentioned.
Sneakyracer, I cropped it to it square, I originally thought it's the best option here, but I'll evaluate another 3:2 version now as well. Thx so much for your opinion!
