A very nice street scene. You have captured the gregarious nature of the people quite well. The composition is excellent and the colors are right on.

Comment from nature rules


I so appreciate this scene....in a place I hope to visit...on my bucket list!

They reality of this is startling. I feel as if I am there with you and your camera. Your light is on high side...which is perfect for this scene...when shadows of buildings could easily hide the subjects...you have pushed it to the perfect stopping point. Nothing is overexposed....not even the white building on the right.

Your detail is perfect as well. And your shutter speed has stopped hair blowing in the wind. Colors are brilliant...but not over saturated. A wonderful balance in this composition...in framing as well. With the darker left frame hugging the buildings the same as the people. And the right frame opening up into lightness into the street. The sky is a good show of white balance....nearly to bright...but not. All of that nearly too bright effect...but not,..has made this an artistic photo. I cannot stop studying it. My words are tired this evening so they are not very succinct. But I have thoroughly enjoyed this composition and think your choices are pure artistry. thanks for sharing!

Great cityscape! It reminds me of the streets in some of the towns here in the USA.

The people walking along and the girl in the foreground's hair flying create a great sense of motion.

The colorful signs and storefronts create an attractive scene. I also like the brick streets.

This is a nice scene that tells a story of a busy day in a modern city. I love the contrast of the old style buildings and cobbled street with the modern day signs and store fronts.

Nice capture. The angle of the shot of this Street,shops and crowd walking and shopping is great. The clarity is great. The capture of the light is great. The image is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall

Definitely a busy street Pritt. What is interesting is that we just got back from Mexico and the towns and cities there had something common with Galway City: The familiar Golden Arches of McDonalds. They are Everywhere in the world it seems. I love the brick street. Just like Mexico. Nice one Pritt ~ Steve

A good human interest shot of people from all walks of life.
Different folks with different strokes!
(Is my English correct?!?) ;-))

Busy but united...
Bright sky.
Sharply focused.

Good perspective & long depth of field...Thanks for sharing...

    Sometimes, I wished the reviews can be done in my native tongue--FILIPINO!

    I can express it best! ;-))

Everyday scene here,and one that would be difficult to get a good shot of and be interesting,have looked at this in detail and feel that there was a slightly better image to be had here,would have done a vertical photo of the left hand two thirds of this as feel that women on the right distracts slightly from the overall photo,would like your views on this...brian

Comment from El-mundo


A good, sharp, and well lit journalistic snapshot of a day in the life of a busy city street. It could be a lot of cities; it could be taken at any time, but it captures many colours, activities and the long DOF and good clarity shows great detail throughout and also a taste of modern life in it's purest form. I worked on a project in my city (York) for a couple of years where I had photos from 1890-1930ish, and tried to find the exact spot the original was taken and show a "then & now" shot - this would be great for that! lovely work, well done ;)
