This is a great image of Carnaby Street in London which really shows the buzz and hustle and bustle of the street. Nice balancing of the highlights so they don't burn out and still retaining the detail in the shadow areas. Nice composition with the line of people at the bottom and the signs above.

I personally like this image very much because it is very simple yet very bold. The composition is very good being made up of horizontal and vertical lines. The colour palette works very well too with nice hues of yellows against the complimentary colour of blue.

This image caught my attention because of its strong cinematic feel. I like the atmosphere created by the lighting and it is a very well balanced picture. The highlights have been held well against the darker background and the shadow areas have kept their details just enough for me to see them. Any darker or lighter and I feel the atmosphere of the image would have been lost.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Everywhere we look, words and letters surround us. Not on a walk through the fields usually, but everywhere else that there is a message to convey, a product to sell, a shop to entice you in, or a book on a shelf. Graffiti artists tell you things on walls, and signs tell us the name that’s been given to a street. Turning any words or letters you come across into an interesting image for sharing is the challenge laid down with this contest.
