Hi Cristian,

very interesting shot. The choice for the tilt brings some dynamism and I like to see the textures of the old buildings as the backbround. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Hello Cristian,

J'aime beaucoup la partie gauche de ton image, et je crois que je l'aurais recadrée sans la voiture, même si, apparemment, c'est le thème de ton image. Le tilt, et la passante bien placée, sur ces murs remplis de vieilles matières, feraient une très belle image.
Bon we
Marie

This is a very descriptive shot. The tilted fram makes it very dynamic.

Hi Cristian,

I like a lot the setting here, the buildings in decay have great brown colors, the dirt street and the mouving girl. Not sure about the white car, for me its kind of distracting. The tilt works here.

Regards,

Flavia

hello Cristian,

nice tilt here ! makes your photo special. it's a pity it's an ugly car :)) better an old trabant or something alike ... very nice scene, almost a movie-scene.
greetings, inn

Hi Cristian, I share your fascination for this kind of environment. Between this colour version and the B&W, I think I prefer this one, not for esthetics but because the inclusion of this so clean car gives an interesting contrast and we get more informations about the walls - fascinating !
Compliments,
Cath.

This is a very good one, the old building and the wanderer make it in contrast with the capitalist image of the car, I am not sure about the usefullness of the tilt but I like the image...

I don't know how old are you, Cristian but I can (judging by this photo) - detect some understanding of all of those rapid changes your old country ( and mine one as well) is going thru...
This kind of a car and the old, shiity districts of the city...
This car, with the Pall Mall commercial on its hood it still may cause sort of cultural shock for those who remember the Nicolau C. times in Romania, when everything has to be grey and dull, because if it's colorful and bright and gay - it surely belongs to the rotten and rapidly disintegrating capitalism - American style (the worst kind of capitalism is, but of course - is the American kind !)

God on high !
You see it and you don't thunder ????

Classy stuff, pal.

And smart… Really smart.

Stay cool
