wow, what a picture! i just love this kind of photography. i like this grain and B&W, and i like this composition a lot, great poses and expressions. great stuff. I think I'd frame it, white or black frame, 20pix width would be really nice...
goes to my favorites rigt away!

I like the atmosphere very-very much. The B&W, grain and overexposed white areas are just great.
Great composition, too � I like how all four faces of the ladies fill the frame.
Very-very well done.

It'sa superb imabge.. The way I love them... great imagination here. A very well composed image, taken really fast I suppose, but where there is a lot of intensity.. Mysterious at the same time. My imagination goes away looking at this kind of picture.. Great.

Very nice, looks very spontaneous. Would like to see it in the full 800 pixel width.

cool! I like this style... Nice tone of B&W, grain and overexposed are so great, just like olli said. Great job.

Great photojournalism sytle. Pushing the film actually adds some electric energy to the movement featured here. The selective focus works very well.

Definitely the kind of shots I praise, with some weird technique to focus on the characters only.
The lining of the three main girls is fantastic, each one echoing to the other. On the other ohand I like how the only guy's face was cropped too just as if he didn't matter for a female only shot.
I also love the shutters or the stores that nicely fill the background and convey that sort of colonial/asian atmosphere.

another time...
are you a professional photjournalist???? :)
what film did you use here? and how many stops was it pushed by?
there is a lot od david alan harvey in this shot ( i know he stopped shooting in b&w a long time back) but the moment you've caught is very similar to the ones in his photographs. there is a lot of sensuality , to be more precise :)
take care
