Great processing and timing, you can almost feel this rush..I can't understand these people. Seriously, if I were there, I'd go to the pub that caught my eye right away despite all that silhouettes!
Fantastic photo that portrays well the consumer society ; but beyond that , in aesthetic terms, the whole scenario fascinates me, moreover, taken in black and white!
Excellent sense of movement and holiday rush in this shot... I agree with the questions that it raises about how we allocate our time and resources during the holidays.
