Photographer's Note
People going about their business, in the grey everyday humdrum of inner city life.
Shot taken from top floor of Kulturhuset, overlooking Sergels Torg.

Très belle composition!
C'est très graphique et le choix du noir et blanc est très judicieux!
Beau travail!

Hi, Joakim!
Certainly b&w is a good choice here, a human mosaic over a repeating background. Maybe a bit too much going on, i think a tighter crop could work..
Let me show some nice pics from this place.. Here or here taken by Ebbe Rozel.
regards,
anton

Very nice and graphical photograph Joakim. I like the angle and the "random" distribution of the people.

Sergels Torg is an interesting place to take picture I think. Good picture which gives a nice view into Swedish daily life. Good composition too. Well done!

This is a good one, even if this square is so popular among photographers. You found a whole chessboard of figure all moving their own way but still in a pattern where the moves of some are repeated or mirrored by others. The strongest elements are IMO the couple at the lower right that is so well mirrored by the group on the top left, all leaving the picture but with some kind of symmetry.

Impossible that it's colour! There is not one teeny smidgin of colour anywhere, not even on their faces!
Anyway, wonderful shot.

A nice Sergel's Torg image, Jocke, where the repetitive pattern in the ground is a chessboard backdrop to 'the actors'. Excellent choice of shooting moment, as they all are standing or walking within 'their own' triangle. The POV makes this image 'frame-less' - supported by the folks about to leave the frame - and the colors are so absent, it's almost B&W. Very well done!

Very, very attractive play of shapes and tones. And also the kind of symbolic in this images... With the people, each in another triangle, going all different directions, just like they were playing a "huge modern chess game"! :o)
Very well observed and executed Joakim!

This is with one word "wonderful". I also made this one of my favourites.
I love the compostion with the pattern on the floor and the people. The black and white was a good choice.

An excellent and creative POV for a very graphic and really interesting picture. A fine daily life shot, with rigorous shapes, though, moving and living. Well done.

A not to unusual motive but it's really nice. A good moment catched with the people well placed in the frame and according to the black and white pattern.

Lovely pattern created by the tiles and the people. The positions of the people are perfect as well! Great job... and a good eye for detail.

Very intelligent use of B&W. And good focused too. A simple pattern is always effective.

Nice graphic effect and good choice for B&W. I like the tilt of the shot. Maybe, it would have been even more impressive with a fewer persons, but that's not in your hand to control. Regards, Yvonne

Nicely composed. the triangles have only one group on it, that making a good balance on this picture.
