Comment by BrennanOB:
two things that would have made this a stronger shot. If the white guy was walking in the other direction, it would have compleated the opposition. If the downtown sign was more firmly in the frame it would have given it more power to balance out the softness of focus, as it is it has less impact than the uptown sign, where as the two figures balance very nicely because of their solid placment in the frame. Nice to see a non studio/ posed shot here.

I like this shot it has city ...soul The Blue hue works for me the focus unfocus/movement works uptown downtown is great.
How about bald and capped
The arrows ... In my Top ten I give it an 8

Very interesting shot. I enjoy your DOF and courage to leave Downtown out of focus. The color choice is great.

Comment by whagerbaumer:
Besides uptown and downtown there is motion and rest, focus and blur, light and dark, hatless and covered, bald and not. I think the challenge has been well met. The photo has a lot of appeal for me as well as my eyes keep going to the interest that the man with shoulder strap and hat is showing in the uptown sign. Excellent composition and exposure.

A 9.

Very nice, I would prefer for both the uptown and dowtown to be visible.
Great idea. 7
