Everything is set just perfect, like it is from a scene in a movie and not done naturally over time, I imagine the bicyclist didn't even notice, but I am glad you did. :)
I like this shot. One piece of information for you is that the writing above the large Chinese character means 'izakaya', the Japanese equivalent of 'Pub'. And the Japanese use the main character to refer to 'Heaven' or 'the heavens'. 'Sky' would be a different character. Anyway geek outburst over. No 'one-up'manship intended.
thanks for the info Sim, it's good to hear the japanese version as well, tho it's not as unearthly sounding as chinese :)
i liked it a lot that it was sky :(
well, i guess i'll change the title again...

For some reason this image stands out amongst the crowd of images when I viewed the browse section.
I really like it, as it has so much happening, but it all comes together so beautifully.....
It tells a story about urban art, and thats what I like about it.....
I do like the bike alot too. It gives scale to the photo, and does add a nice touch of life -- but I think it is an awesome urban photo even without the bike. I just love that urban grungy look. I think this is great.
I'm surprised you thought this was lifeless. It's full of your dynamic, urban energy. There may not be any obvious organic life forms, but I wouldn't call it lifeless. And the bike is a nice touch of humanity as well.
It looks as if the menu is about as wide as the sky as well ;-) It'll be interesting to see the same photo as the building takes place in the vacant lot. NYC's vacant lots, an endangered species, make for interesting now-and-again-lapse photography, perhaps.
now-and-again lapse is a very good idea actually :) i'm afraid this picture will be quite dull and not even half interesting once a building is built here :( unfortunately, i agree that vacant lots are quite endangered species these days.

The large Chinese character, tian, stands out for me. It looks like a Japanese eatery though. Tian means 'heaven' or 'sky.' I like the graphic colour theme in the photo.
very cool, thanks for the info andrew. i like that the sign means sky, kind of contradicts with the fact that there is no sky in the picture. or now, there is sky in the picture. i'll change the title to "sky" :)
