very interesting work and place ! i guess different angles would produce very interesting result!! good job!

nice abstraction--did you buy anything or just "steal" images?
;]

mac has enough of my money; i was an image thief.

great point of view, it seems a rounded game!
perfect for architectural communication.

I LOVE this shot, it seems so Sci-fi, abstraction rules.

Plus none of the clouds are blown out... great exposure. Is this with the 5D?

Yes, 5D indeed.

This shot is one of the hard lessons one learns in the conversion to digital. This was "just a snapshot" of my wife and kids going for a walk, so I processed the RAW file. I paid attention to the clouds, but lost all detail of my family - whoa re wearing bright rubber boots, and having a great time. I didn't bother going through additional processing to capture those details, because I have at least twenty other shots from that day.

I saved it as a nice JPG file.

Then I deleted the RAW files, figuring for family snaps all I need are some JPGs.

Now it has become one of my favorite shots, and I can never go back to recapture the detail that was lost when I saved as JPG and discarded the RAW data.

Lesson learned. Always shoot RAW, never discard the file.

I will always consider this one of those perfect shots that got away, even though it was in the can at one point.

I really like this image, as well. It has a powerful presence.

I've done the same -- thrown away the original files -- then kicked myself for doing it. Live and learn, eh? :-)

Hey, cool... finally got featured!

LOL, yeah, that was a bit of a double-take for me as well. I just got back to the US today, and hadn't really checked Vazaar in weeks. I had to come back and see which shot. I'm 2 for 2, I guess success and fame are just a question of time.

Hey surprise :)

Thanks for your comments and that you liked it! :)

Such a beautiful B+W that looks so classic. I guess what i really love is this expanse of white in the fore-ground, this black tunnel in the center with a spot of light at the far end of it, only to be greeted by the presence of a person. Beautiful.

Never too late :O)

this one got featured because you're wearing a suit. jens :-)))) elegance for the frontpage! *fg*

congrats!

And I will have to wear one the next 3 days again :/
I was a bit buisy with working and my new homepage....but now it is time to concentrate again on photography....after the 3 days....with my elegant suit....:D

good. dynamical.

Love this image. Very clean. Nothing bad to say. Nice job.

Very nice! Looks cold, heh.

abstractly . good

Great curves. Very interesting shot.

Hmmm...I don't know how this fits the theme.

Wow, you were trying to do a lot with that image. I think if you really want to evoke the mood and meaning of those lyrics you're going to have to start from scratch and pose some teens to really make it happen. The teens here would be great, but I imagine you probably grabbed this shot on the fly and hoped it fit with the song.

As a Florida resident, I think I've seen kids cruising the beach in a convertible on spring break that would have fit the song great. I'm not sure you can capture that same mood in the mall.

I have looked at your site. In my opinion you have much the best pictures.
Sorry for my english.

If look could kill - great capture!

If the girl on the far right were in sharp focus this would have greater impact perhaps. It would seem to really lend context and evoke a teen girls envy or angst. She looks really annoyed but that is kind of lost in this photo since nothing is sharp enough to be the focal point.

The girl on the far left also seems like she's annoyed but I'm left wanting to see who she is talking to...maybe her mom is there saying it's time to go, and she's protesting?

I wish I could tell more from this but its just got too much going on and nothing specific enough.

I don't see hope and despair I see teen girls, 2 that look to be annoyed, but too difficult to tell if it's with each other as they don't seem to be interacting with each other, but it's hard to discern.

The distortion in the shadows give them an alien feel. I wish the inscription in the cement on the right was fully visible.

Nice. The yellow in the center looks like it's emitting the light almost.

Nice! I like the color, but is little tight from top in my view. What were the exposure settings for this one?
