Very cool...you've placed him just so and I like the stone lines lead and give depth...

it was a bit surreal, Deb is right. To find a square meter in Forbidden city without people is not easy, not to say a whole corner of a courtyard like in this scene. No, I did not cordon out the space, just a fluke happened, and I was able to frame him like that.

I like this a lot. There's a metaphor here, I'm sure: Amidst the hopeleslly monolithic and uniform surroundings, he manages to do his own thing, as if trying to break out. This is accentuated by the fact that he's down low and not standing tall. Maybe that's a bit deep -- he's probably just texting his wife to say that he'll pick up bread on his way home.

Confronting human frailty always creates a dramatic image. This is well executed, and certainly stands out in this challenge.

Thanks for sharing these shots. This is a good honest glimpse into these people's lives.

Classic scene, worthy of National Geographic. Nicely processed.

That is scary, but good panning on your part. As far as the image, I might have cropped out those harsh golden lights in the upper left.

Fun image. The colors are cool and they work. I think this may also have worked in black and white as your background is sufficiently blurred.
