This photograph captures the movement within the street due to the cars and the people included within the scene. Due to the amount of people within the street the photograph is very busy and there is very little white space. The photograph portrays the atmosphere of the street by showing the amount people, making the street busy. The majority of the white space included is located in the foreground where there is hardly any people. The colour palette for this photograph is also very broad and this is due to the amount of content included such as people, buildings and objects. The different colours provides contrast between the light and dark colours an example of this being the green found on the bin against the grey pavement. There are several different lines found within the photograph, the main on being the lines found on the buildings which eventually turn into a vanishing point.
