Ian, This one is hands down the best picture of the day! For its tones, framing and the silence! Brilliant!

Is there anyplace better to shoot than a narrow alley?
This is wonderful. The tight composition using the constraint of the towering walls. The beautiful light. Great shot, Ian.

Love this image. Very mysterious as she walks down that narrow alleyway.

I love the steep, wide/high angle of this shot. It's very eye-catching.

I like how you used the ray of light to represent that the alleyway continues beyond. Normally, we would show a space between the two sides of the buildings to show a normal walkway. You have 'closed' the walkway in a sense and both sides of the buildings almost seem to touch each other. Very clever perspective. Great tones on the walls.

@aggie: thanks aggie, I only had a few seconds to take the photo but I did compose it so that both sides were touching so that there was no sliver of light between the two - it just seemed more intimate that way.

I really like the repetition of the light... emphasizing the same narrowness of the buildings just the same as the path. SUPER CAPTURE - because i can see this was timed to Perfection!
