Penny, TV, Doug, Jano - thank you for your kind comments. Penny - you are close to truth - this picture is composed from two photographs. The light range was so bright that no camera would be able to capture the both insight & out-sight areas in acceptable quality. This would be good subject for HDR but 1. I didn’t have tripod and 2. there were dynamic objects. So I just did 2 shots with different exposure and then puzzled these some how together that the insight is from one shot while the outside from another. So I didn’t need to dodge the walkway but not to bright it so far. I think I liked the brighter version better.

Ps - no chances to borrow Konstantins camera. He is putting it under pillow while go sleeping.

I like your idea of taking an informal shot in this situation better than trying to create a formal scene that your subject is trying to do. It is an interesting light regardless. -Doug

Lots going on here with reflections and light. I agree about the path and maybe even overall teh shadows could be darker. Do you do anything but tunnels? Does everyone in Singapore use Mark IIs or did you borrow Konstantin's camera? -tv

Almost a two for one picture! Master, did you try dodging the shadows on the little walkway - it's be nice to see how dark they could be. I really like the shapes on the concentric walls. Penny Street
