Comment by Melethia:
I like the isolation of both George and the young lady behind him, and how both are disengaged while those around them are not.

Excellent shot, both on its own and for the challenge.

The shadow was intentional - actually enhanced it to make it look like an intruder.
I think it's funny (interesting) how the different opinions play out. Thanks again for the comments.

Was the shadow of the man on purpose or accidental during the shoot? I think it fits perfect, like you say in your description. I don't know about everyone else, but there's always a subtle unseen presence in my nightmares.

George looks like quite a character! (Market Square in Pittsburgh?)

In the ratings pass, this reviewer was uncomfortable rating this image - there are several levels of impact here which change every time it's viewed. After six views and a close inspection of the image, this reviewer has to rerate it from a 6 to a 9 because it has the technical quality one looks for in a high rated image even if it isn't as effective from an artistic standpoint - it lacks that certain "something" that makes it standout. It's still a cut above the highly rated images in this challenge. While not exactly a ribbon contender, this should place well in the challenge.

The longer I stare at this, the more the ground around her moves. Pretty trippy! 8
