same like the last one I critiqued: a special poetry constituted by 2 layers with people and a background, a message with a secret. Go ahead with this.

I like your new style. Very reduced on a couple of elements, controlled and focused.

Hi Justin

this is a good example for working with layers. The girl in foreground is very present with a strong effect on the viewer. The background on the right side comes across a bit empty. There is a person, however, not very present. I would try to dodge this person´s face and the shadow around which could support the effect. Anyway, a nice picture.

Very intelligent picture. Controlled lines and colors and a human story (unsharp) kept as a secret. The same way poetry usually works.

Expressive. I like the overexposed background which adds to effect of movement and circulation. Makes a bit dizzy if you look to long at the picture.

Hi Justin

and again I see your affinity to Daido Moriyama: B/W, city, sometimes the "ugly" places like red light districts, sharp contrasts sometimes even over- and underexposed but always with an outstandig sensitivity for light wherever it can occurs, a hunter for light. I like this.

Good evening Mike

this is really great stuff. (It seems that you also fly economy, hope you are not that tall...). It´s a nice example of the time we are living at, sometimes a bit fancy. Btw, colours are nicely warm and smooth.

Best wishes

Hi Justin

it really remembers me to my pic from Tokyo. Expression is good, noise adds to the effect.
One comments:
Hard crop on the right side works well, on the left side could be more from the hand of the girl.

a still life of a street photo. It´s silent and monochrome, kind of a cold esthetic.
