Lighting and tones are equisite. Excellent sense of depth, of lower(?) Manhattan, and the blurred figure in the foreground gives the photo an immediacy and relevance. The streak of light along the far curb almost makes it appear as though the figure and van are traveling in opposite directions.

Nice - street at its best. A sense of mystery with the fuzzy figure in the foreground. A sense of hope with the beautiful light shining on the buildings in the back. Outstanding contrast.

Comment by J-Me:
I like the fact that the light falls on the man in the foreground, highlighting him as the main subject. It's very dark and contrasted. The one thing that it makes me ask myself is "what is it that the photographer wanted me to see in this...what is the reason?" But, then again, with dozens of flowers and insect shots in this challenge, I'd likely say that I'm getting far more out of this shot than the eye candy shots :)

i'm a sucker for high contrast b&w photos. i probably would have given this a different title, however, because the woman with the travel bag is motion blurred and doesn't immediately draw your attention. i found my eyes exploring the sunlight reflections on the sides of the buildings on the opposite side of the street much more so.

Nice b&w. I wish that the lights were a bit more exposed but still really nice.

Great feel to the image, diminished though by the late mode van on the right. 7
