gavin hart from Gold Coast, Australia

Great timing for the composition of the blurry little figure fleeting past the window. I'm curious about what the other characters are doing ... are they part of the protest graffiti on the wall?

I like the expression of those two girls. What are they looking at?
Wonderful movement capture too!

Those two figures on the left are kind of creepy--fascinating street shot. I'll try to work on the challenge you've posed...

San G. from Encino, California, United States

Quizical! Mysterious ... the two standing in awe (or in masks???), and the one taking off. I'm delighted with the strangeness you've caught so well.

On se demande ce qu'ils regardent... quelqu'un à la fenêtre de l'immeuble... une soucoupe volante... ? Ta photo fait une jolie place à l'imagination...

The two girls look like they are praying for divine intervention but not the vaticans. interesting shot Giovanni.

Superb, Giovanni ... there is so much that could be read into this image ... ron

Love the strong contrasts in this image. Great effect with the person running. Stunning composition.

Pixim from Nice, France

j'aime le côté étrange de la photo, cela fait même un peu peur. Non pas pour la religion catholique, mais par le côté impersonnel des personnages. j'aime l'ajout de cette fenêtre aux formes strictes et pour moi, symbolisant l'église Bravo ;)

A great interesting shot with a message.

JJ from Jersey City, United States

veyr strong and dramatic B&W shot, the motion blur of the person adds so much to this

3 Feb 2009 1:30am

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Another super-strong work! This is urban poetry, full of grit and conflict, where shadows run fast.

I like this one, the simplicity of the composition and the statism mixed with the moving person.
