IMHO, the forground is pretty empty and doesn't give the impression of busy. I think the picture would have been better if you had cropped it behindthe man crossing the street. I'd have also cloned out the cable.

Comment by Jammur:
Fascinating contrast to other entries, a visually busy frame almost devoid of action.

I would like this better if the wire wasn't dividing the picture.

Comment by jorr:
focus seems sharpest on the wire, not the subject. Would be busier if it was open and lots of shoppers, IMO

Comment by Pedro:
not sure i'd call the first two places a 'joke', but I certainly do like the mood of this image a little better. In terms of pure photography this is as good as they come. I'd add you to my favourite fotog list again, but you're already on it ;)

Comment by Mr_Pants:
I love the leading lines and the contrast. Perhaps looking a little oversharpened around the upper half of the figure in the foreground, but I find that that adds to the bleakness. Great shot, as usual.

Comment by ubique:
A brilliant street photograph. We see far too little of this stimulating genre at DPC, and yours is a terrific example of it. I am especially impressed by the details ; the spotlit legs of the 'marching' pedestrians, the perfect positioning in the scene of the primary subject, and the fact that all faces bar his are turned away ... any of these alone would have been pleasing, but to capture all of them together can only be a remarkable mix of skill and good fortune. Add to that the man's slightly bewildered expression, his hat, the finger to his brow, and what is presumably a furled collapsible umbrella inexplicably held aloft like a flag, and you have an image that can easily provide half an hour's entertainment for the thoughtful viewer. Well, maybe not half an hour; lets just say about fifty times longer than the DPC average. 10

challenge winner for me

the first two places are just a joke of voting, nothing `what` about them.
