I don't have any of the fancy plug-ins or filters or stuff, so this is done with shadows/highlights gone mad! Not all that fond of the result, but figured it was something different to try. And this isn't as crowded as it gets, either....

there's (oddly) a cool balance of people looking in every direction - there's no left lane/right lane like the mall walk here! LOL

I like the treatment!
Lots of people... Living here in Japan, there isn't much of any Christmas, and to be honest I don't miss the shopping frenzy and the time when supermarkets are always closed.
Our Weihnachtsmarkt in Bonn, where I lived for some years, used to smell really strong of Alcohol, the Gluehwein, strong enough to keep me away from that particular area of it.

Great shot. Interesting how most everyone is wearing brown, black and red with just the occasional other colors popping out. Very unlike the bright colored ski jackets, scarves and hats in this area. Love the warm glow of light coming from the stands too.

the hustle and bustle is so evident - i like the choice to use shadows/highlights to give the overexaggerated facial expressions

How is it that you were above the crowd? Didn't want to mingle with the hoi polloi? ;-)

After looking at the shot for a moment I immediately scrolled down to see what fancy plug-in or filter you used. Hehe. Well done!

Wow, talk about a sea of humanity! LOL! That's a lot of people, yet there doesn't seem to be a big press to get anywhere in a hurry. Most of those faces look pretty relaxed.

I love that when there is a group, that millisecond will forever be etched in our view with each pose frozen in time. Love all of the red.

Wow what a crowd, how do you get around in that?
