Neat image MCsaba. The little tyke in the stroller looks asleep; probably dragged out of bed by the parents to catch the early sales :). --Melanie

Lovely capture, MCsaba, anonymous silhouettes of people, the long shadows (maybe symbolic of long lines at the cash registers at this time of year? ;) ), the hustle-bustle, everything's nicely placed in this image!

Wonderful shadows and light! I agree about the headlights -- I prefer them in.

Thanks for the comments. I agree that cropping out the headlights would improve the abstract impact, but then I should chop one head too which would look more strange IMHO. The headlights bring some reality in which I personally like on this shot. Cheers, MCsaba

MCsaba, I really like the sharp contrast here...and those long shadows. Nice toning and perspective too. Nice shot. MFC

Great image!

The photographer's eye. Many wouldn't even notice the abstract quality of this scene. Nicely done, MCsaba. Bev

Neat capture - I love the long shadows! The people really seem to be in a hurry.

One addition: I am looking on it on a small monitor and tried to "crop" the car lights by scrolling. IMHO it would be worth a try to make the scene more abstract. Just my 0.02€.

Wow! This play of the shadows is fantastic and the complete scene really shows great dynamics. Cool capture!
