A relaxed scene with great clarity and beautiful tones. Well done!

Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom

Is this the medium size or the large size (I see an M in the centre.)?

@Curly: What you can see is the logo of Manchester Evening News & Channel M, the satelite broadcaster for Manchester.

AG from London, United Kingdom

Your processing has cleverly made this look like a poster - even the people look to be posing !

@AG: I'm grateful and flattered AG...I was merely kicking my heels waiting for 'er indoors to get a haircut!

I love how there seems to be lots of little individual scenarios going on here, all backed up by the wonderful setting

@mark / one way photo: cheers Mark!

Blackdog from London, United Kingdom

I thought it looked different! Didn't know Manchester had its own! Processing works a treat - gives a surreal frozen look to the shot.

@Blackdog: thanks Blackdog!

Philip from Cowbridge, United Kingdom

Great framing and colours. It's like an advert for Manchester Tourism.

@Anthony Morgan Lambert: cheers fella...I recommend reading Scott Kelby's book on Elements, shooting in RAW, a free curves filter called smartcurve, redynamix hdr and dfine by niksoftware...and playing about with them.

Brooks Potteiger from Orlando, United States

really nice comp. Also, good use of HDR (if that's why you used here). I think you'd like some of my stuff. Feel free to give it a look if you have a chance. Cheers :)

@Brooks Potteiger: Thanks Brooks for dropping in as yes, I am a big fan of HDR...cheers!
