I really like the composition and symmetry of this shot. People often don't pay a lot of attention to the journeys that so many of us take everyday. It sets a dark mood with the heavy use of contrast on the photo. A good shot in an environment with limited space and light.

This is a great example of atmospheric photography. Just looking at it makes me shiver, almost as if the winter chill is transmitted to the viewer through the photo. The composition is also very appealing and I like hour the line of lights draw swoop around the street vendor.

Having been fortunate enough to have travelled a fair bit, this photo encapsulates the other side of travel - the waiting prior to boarding your plane. It can be exhausting, frustrating and boring as the subjects of this photo show. Love the composition and use of the coloured windows.

A super architectural shot which uses the ant sized cars and the spaghetti roads in the distance to give a sense of grand scale. I like that the photographer has elected to produce a black and white photo, and I think this adds a great deal to the finished piece.
