Nice idea, only, you don't look like lost soul. Not a critic, observation.

I like the simplicity of the buildings that reinforces the expression of the subject. The yellow colour plays good with the blue sky and it aids to give a sensation of unreal. endika

The more I look at this scene the more I like it. You do look lost amidst the illuminated alley. What are you looking for? where are you going? :) Very nice.

Your positioning is perfect. The whole effect is of Dali-esque surrealism - compelling and unnerving at the same time time. A great idea.

Thanks Marc and Shirley for the comments!

The light in the back of my complex is very yellow (tungsten?). I used the flash to capture myself, then I walked out before the shutter was completely released. It created a see-through image.

I am glad that Shirley can feel the mood there. I was trying to create images with certain moods and have failed miserably to communicate them.

I like the atmosphere in this one... Maybe a bit too yellow, but the idea is good, Bao.

I like this shot Bao, very moody and a good title. It fits the theme nicely with the lights from the buildings and the light on the lost soul, seemly being different types of light. I hope I explained that okay. Sometimes I know what I want to say and it comes across wrong. :o)
