The most exciting, interesting, confrontational photo of the challenge. This gets my blue.

I'd like to see just a little more contrast here.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Your title works so well, an intersection between person, built environment and light. His gait is particularly compelling with that long stride and trailing arm. The shadows are beautifully projected too. I really like the three short white lines, with the black negative space they bracket the image in terms of dynamic range and add purpose to the somewhat limited constrast offered in the central part of the image. I also like the glass/window reflective elements, it has the effect of bringing you, the photographer, into play and includes us the viewers into the world. As a result this feels a little voyeuristic and furtive.

Critical stuff: Not much at all... Perhaps the top might be cropped a little closer, but that is a trivial thing.

Overall: Nicely done.

Very interesting. Might be cleaner if you cropped a little more from the bottom just below the bright paint stripe. I like it either way. Good luck!
