Description This is a brand new shopping center in Kamppi (in Helsinki), I saw it for the first time this weekend... And I immediately wanted to pack my bags and move back to Helsinki! All those boutiques.. clothes, shoes, handbags, jewellery... ...Ah yeah, the photo. The view from the top floor was quite nice, and it reminded me of those beautiful staircase photos you often see here at DA. I've been posting a lot of black and white photographs lately and considered it with this one too for a long time, but I quite liked the original colours so in the end decided to leave it like this. I hope you like it, feedback is very much appreciated!

I love stairwells like this...spirals are so compelling, and all the random people walking gives it scale
well done

well, i have to add myself to the people giving you compliments on this shot! I think this one would have looked in B&W a lot more dramatic, but then it would also be like so many of the other shots we see around here. I like that you left it in colors, they are quite out of the ordinary (pastel-like?). Nice selection of the circles to fit into the rectangle!

Yeah, I really liked how the colours turned out in this one, so I couldn't go with the b&w..

What I really liked here was the fact that there were circles in the middle, and the squares in the other parts Well composed as well.

What really makes this oustanding to me is the people. It's so interesting view because of how some people are in groups, some in pairs, some alone. Standing still, enjoying the view, rushing to a store... it's fabulous. But the architecture is equally as nice, and it's complimented very much by your composition. Well done
So Helsinki was pretty great eh? You're stupid Mighty Ducks are up 2-0 in the series with the Avs

Thank you! I really liked the people in the shot too.. This was taken on Saturday afternoon, and I had another photo taken around noon on Sunday, when there were only three people in the shot.. it definitely made the scene very different..

Helsinki was great! Though I didn't have enough time to go everywhere I wanted... got to go back soon.

(Yesh, go Ducks! )
