seems strange to see a person sitting so close to the passing car. it's amazing how different cultures can be in the little aspects of life and how similar in the overall scheme of things. really nice capture, sharon.

Magnificent the smoothness of the taking, reduces dramatic quality to the scene.

J'aime beaucoup cette dame bien vêtue dans un endroit plutôt glauque. Le flou dans l'image ajoute de l'atmosphère à ce lieu. Superbe.

The diffused-glow creates a sensitive image, maybe she's alone.

Une rue sans trottoir ? apparemment pas très fréquenté, une voiture qui semble passer en douceur et une personne qui à mon humble avis regarde son portable...elle n'était pas génée par votre présence!
Une scene digne d'un film d'action.

What a dreamy scene.
As if taken from a 1920 classic movie.
Nicely done!

A kind of story picture with that woman setting there and the car passing by.

Very, very nice, I admire the processing; many have mentioned its ethereal quality, which I really like too (obviously around your lady subject)... but for me, the darkness (around the car) is really kicking: it looks moody, hard, edgy, I really love it. Great stuff. Enjoyed viewing it my friend.

There is definitely a story being played out here, Sharon. Well done!

A portrait of our times, I find so many people staring down at their phones not even aware that a car has gone by.

I like this picture very much, as the words and music of Pink Floy. Very good processing.

Another excellent image. I like the woman sitting in the corner of the image and the bright light leading the eye down to the end of the alley.
