The shadows in the left corner brought out the street sign and the crowded street more. And from the point of where the photo is shot, you can really see that this is a busy city with a lot of stores and skyscrapers. And the brightest place, which is the intersection of the street, showed the different people wearing different clothes and busy on their way. This image not only showed the details of the city but also highlighted the details of people walking on the street.
