City Competition 1 2014 - all cities! : Entry Number 167

The photo speaks volumes of mystique and adventure. The framing of the subject alone facing a world of cars gives it a majestic feel, that is eloquently portrayed in a cinematic sense. The balance of headlights with the fading darkness of the image, and with the subject partially silhouetted and nearly off-centered has a magical tone to it.

Thank you for this mark of excellence! It's such a common scene in all large cities but when I saw the streets empty, headlights of incoming taxis and the lone lady in black, I thought I might have something. I took this shot in NYC with a fuji x100 and edited the photo with Lightroom. Again, really appreciate the recognition.
