The composition is excellent. Exposure and sharpness perfect. Add to that the discussion we can have in front of this image - how humanity works / plays - living as ordinary mortals, perhaps daydreaming about being something more. THis image may not stand out as traditional art, but it certainly works as a well-created piece of contemporary storytelling (art). Great one for this challenge. 8

This is a cool series. Wish they all were going back and forth like this image but still the rest of the images showed a story in itself which was very pleasing to watch! :)

Viewing your cover image is like watching a tennis match. It's a long rally so I turn to the substance of your essay. A delightful series of interactions and relationships that reinforces why I prefer candid street photography. As always, I enjoy your work and insights. Thanks

I think that the blinking image is just warning us that the content of the essay will be irrepressibly funny. Is the women on the right Penelope Cruz lookalike?

I chuckled the whole time. Almost. I could take away first and last pictures without missing them. Starting with "On a public square " would be much more powerful. A wonderful nod to candid street photography.

From the presentation point of view, the vertical images suffer for being oversized. Reducing the portrait orientation images to a more manageable size, let's say 1000 or 900 pixels, would benefit the viewing.

His expression conveys his force, and we can hear that trombone rip off its powerful notes. The moment is well-captured. Now if only he was also wearing a loud shirt.

I was very disappointed that none of the other photos are blinking.

Nevertheless, I do like your organizing principle. I love some photos more than others, but all show human interaction and suggest stories.
