These days every store owner dreams about those good days when shoppers were crawling non-stop... This is a three years old shot from a Koln (Cologne) busy street.
Are the days of 'shop 'till you drop' a bygone era ? I guess, we must have almost everything...especially with those cheap Chinese imports, where is the quality in that ? we have become a 'throw-away-society'!! But don't get me started on that... What makes this pic so good, is the B&W image, with just a hint of selective colouring on those signs, brill. Cheers *BB*
you haven't captured Germanies Tallest Woman.. she is from Keulen (Koln) and will walk these streets now
I think you people have Sinterklaas aswell ?
Just at the right.. from where you stood is a little (small) hotel where I stayed several times because of the TallPeopleParty in the old parts of the TrainStation
You really selected the coloring in this artistically and uniquely for the most appealing view. I really like the look of the sky which contrasts so well with the unsuspecting crowd below.
A wonderful manipulation! I love the combination of color and black and white. It is intense,and also low key, at the same time, (if that makes sense)! :) Lea
I love this and what a perfect commentary, and title, for the world's dire situation !
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and I love what you did with it!
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture!!!
ReplyDeleteYep now days ya can't even get that crowd in for a WalMart sell. Super work
ReplyDelete**Peace**
I love it! Nice postwork!! :)
