bueno, algunas fotos sí son un crimen…
Totalmente de acuerdo, a veces llevar una cámara en un sitio público crea la sensación a la gente, vigilantes, etc de que llevas un arma…
Gran fotografía y gran tratamiento.

i like it
Thanks to all!
This photo is very intense. I love the lighting composition; you mixed the greens, grays, and black very well together. The image you’re trying to portray is pure genius. Especially the fact that you used silhouettes instead of the actual figures of the people. It looks GREAT! (:
Great idea!
It’s so creative!
Very nice. Would you be interested in selling this?? Email me at Allenstarnes@gmail.com if you are.
that is so cool =D
Brilliant!
this is amazing <3
i’m in love for this pic!!!
Check this one out. This is crazy, police officers must take lessons so they will know what they are doing. I hate to say this, but there are times that they seemed so stupid.
