escuchela.. la ciudad respirando

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Great job Chris. Not the usual kind of gritty urban shot. The orange sky gives this a really warm feeling. I've been scanning every pixel with a fine toothcomb for the last 5 minutes though and I can't see what the title refers to! How did you choose it?

@Stu: Cheers Stu, haha in this instance a toothcomb would't work. I just thought the scene looked alive despite the presence of any people.

Lucca's café from Cologne, Germany

this is beautiful! I like the non-digital style with its colors here.

This has a very subtle warmth and tonality to it. Quite beautiful !

I love the mood in this picture. Beautiful warm colors on an otherwise very bare looking place.

thats lovely. Such a hazy and warm treatment of a wet day, an unique look at the world.

An all too familiar sight here...rain. None of that warmth though.

Mammoth in Chief from Naperville, United States

Very nice tone and graininess. Gives it a dreamish and great mood!

Wow. This one blows me away.
I'm assuming that fluff n stuff on the road is trash...but it somehow doesn't bother me. Rain on asphalt is a great effect in itself.
I'm also really feeling the geometry of your subjects, taken spot on. Everything--including the houses, the tree on the right--seems flattened somehow, as if to match their flat reflection on the road.
