About the Image(s)
Taken in a shopping precinct where security usual stops you using a camera although phones are ok! Not my usual location for photography but I was tempted by the white wall in the background where the shop within was being reconstructed. Trying out a new camera, I took several images in the hope of getting a reasonable arrangement of people. This was probably the least cluttered of the selection.

The image captures a moment of motion within a clean, modern indoor space. The use of reflection in the glass storefront adds a subtle layer of depth and symmetry, especially with the 'logo' anchoring the left side.
The red shirt and red logo create a strong visual focal point, while the muted tones of the second individual
(brown jacket, green cap) offer balance. The circular floor patterns subtly guide the viewer's eye across the scene.
Soft, diffused lighting keeps the mood neutral and commercial. There's no harsh shadowing, which suits the indoor mall setting.
There is a sense of rhythm in the image. I thought of multiple ways to better crop this image but to me it seems that this is the best.
Great example of street photography. Great Work. Posted: 10/05/2025 15:59:18

The white wall has now been replaced with advertisements for the the new shop premises - pleased I managed a few images on that day! Never put off until later - things do change and rapidly. Posted: 10/11/2025 12:41:22
This image failed to engage me. Sorry! I find no engagement between the men in the image, or between them and the space they are passing through. Because of the distortions of colour and proportions, it also wasn't clear to me that the man on the left is a reflection of the one in the centre. I wish I could read what the directional sign says.

What's happening? What's the story? Where's he going? Who's on the phone? What does the sign say? Lots of unaswered questions. That's what makes this image interesting. Nice seeing. Posted: 10/25/2025 20:28:31
