Adding this one to my favorites. I'm sure the majority of the middling votes on this one derive from disagreements over the ability of a two-dimensional medium like still photography to adequately convey a sense of negative space on the z-axis. But I'm not interested in ruling on that. For me, the sense of movement/direction was weak in this composition, but the storytelling and literally everything else about it was so exceptionally stunning--up to and including the muted color tones and the inspired decision to leave (or add?) the slight off-balance tilt to the perspective, lending an otherwise candid moment an almost heroic verve.

Nice catch for this challenge. A little higher shutter speed, with steady panning, would have elevated this a point or two (for me). It's good (better than average) and very close to awesome. Good luck.

Very cool! Love the light bouncing off his face. What are those images - LED screens? Or real paintings/photos lighted from above?
