 Thanks for the comments. I dusted off my old Olympus C-7000 point and shoot for this challenge. I forgot how usable this camera is -- small sensor means lots of DOF, not to mention great ergonomics, responsive, pocketable. Hmmm...

Some outtakes:

I think that is a really strong image and deserved a way better result. More than the woman's expression which is a good capture in itself you have created a tangible impression of tension and story by the slight panning blur in the background and around the foreground woman's hair that oozes a sense of action or purpose in all the participants. The woman behind with the bag has a strong effect drawing attention to the lady in the foreground. This shot for me is a beauty!

Is it possible that 5.2207 at dpc is the magic place?

Only glanced at this challenge (not voting), and this one stood out for many miles - of course it is yours, I just never thought my cousin Miriam would be starring in Pittsburgh. I've been meaning to tell her to stop dying her hair black, but I must say it goes with the pink. Utterly fascinating portraiture, I feel totally involved.

Should've placed higher,bvy, at least first page. I like the color, her intense expression and background dof. Good catch.

Nice capture! I took some lessons from you regarding proximity to subject and can see how you use the wider focus up close in this picture as well as the others you showed me. This deserved a much higher score. You did so well with the commenters votes. Would have been good for you to hear from those who were lower in their voting. I voted you a 6. The blur did not deter me from liking it. I thought it was slightly grey and lacked some contrast. You can pump it up in post for your collection!

I love how the blur empathizes the brief encounter. Everyone seems to be in such a hurry...
Nice work! : )

I just love the ferocity of the moment. I actually SMELLED New York when I saw this.

I love the immediacy and brevity of this encounter. We get an unexpected glimpse in somebody's life... and then we just move on.

The color is striking, and certainly contrasts with the scene as a whole. You appear to have been caught by the second person! I like the intimacy that adds, albeit in a subtle fashion...well, not as subtle as that pink fashion!

I love this. The woman has such an interesting face, and of course the pink is great too. But more than that, I get a wonderful sense of "intersecting planes" from the two directions of movement; plus each of the three people has either an arm or a leg pointing to the lower right, which provides a unifying theme to this street image.

Everybody is moving so quickly there isn't a strong focus point.
