Alone in The City - something VERY different from me

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Some shots from today's outing to Aroma in The Rocks - these ones around the Circular Quay area which I though portrayed an aloneness of sorts...

Lots of detail and you've managed to control the composition of those images despite the fact they have a lot of complexity. That first shot is interesting because it works despite the crowded image space. You don't often see that. Nice work.

Leon

#1 is wonderfully composed and well thought through )hope it wasn't an accident!). #3 is great too, but #2 just doesn't grab me like the others. Somehow it looks off centre (but of course I'm a Neat And In The Middle kinda guy)

I absolutely love this style and i think you have done an excellent job with these images.
The last one is definitely the standout image for me, the collage of magazines acts as a halo of color around her - brilliant!

Various bits of borrowed/stolen glass/speedlights etc. - zero style or taste.
