I love this. All the seemingly empty space in the near stuff, and then all this wonderful complexity and action and figures in the far space. No subject and background, but a picture that works all over.
Admittedly, this complexity revealed itself only on the screen, but not in the viewfinder, Carl. I guess that feeling and experience made me activate the shutter here.
Thanks, Colin! In hindsight I am more than glad that I had skipped lunch that day and instead taken a walk. And as I carry a small Lumix G3 now instead of the DSLR, photography has gotten a much “lighter” quality now. I know, you have taken this step much earlier already…
And you know yourself how hard this is to achieve, Earl. At least I can’t do it on purpose, it’s more that serendipity factor that is at work in photography sometimes. What we can do is to be out there, with open eyes and a camera. Sometimes everything falls into place.
Nice one. I like this kind of minimalism. Must be an electric car…
If they water it properly, it might grow to the size of the Daimler on the street 😉

Minimalism indeed – and big impact!
and reward, Juha! Which of course is very motivating, especially when crowning a day of boring meetings. (I am sure you know this all too well…)
This is a great picture and I agree with Carl’s comments completely

And nobody said anything about the Mercedes …. 😉
Martina, it goes without saying that this is the incentive for that poor little guy in the window!
I love it. I brought a smile to my face.
Paul, I am glad it did. Humor is one of the strong and positive powers in our world, and of course it makes me glad if I can contribute.
Markus, a complex photo in it’s simplicity…works on many levels. Very good!

…and those moments insure we keep going back out, don’t they! 🙂
