I caught the contrast between the clock faces and the faceless people, but to be honest, I don't think I noticed the "extra" relevance of the person in the wheelchair -- there are so many people in chairs around where I live that they are usually treated more "normally" than in many places.

I still use my 4 year-old Olympus a lot too ... nice work!

Stunning shot, Ed. Unlucky to miss out on a ribbon.

Nice one Ed (but a tad unlucky!) - great time of day.

Reminds me of a shot from a recent featured photographer in Digital Photography this month. I'll let you know more when I find it.

I like this very much and think that it works well with the busier top end..it would have been nice to have them space themselves out neatly for you..but life is seldom that kind to us.However, I feel the concept of the numbers increasing as you scan up the image really adds to it`s impact.

I didn`t get round to voting in this challenge but this would have scored very highly if I had.

Nice work Ed...shame about the 4th :)

Thanks to all for votes and comments. My second 4th of the year (once described as the worst of all possible finishes). a few poeple picked up on the confusion at the top of frame, which I did want to try and do something about - but cropping to the edges of the clock faces relegated them in the composition too far, and cloning out the other people there ... well, after a while it just seemed wrong - part of the point was the press and rush and chaos of the people. The crop overall is so narrow because that's how this scene is - immediately to the left of this we get into cafe-world, and that over-confused things, and immediately to the right there's a line of trees, likewise.

Oh - and for those who crave expensive cameras, the one used for this shot cost £110.

Oh again; this was challenge number 301, it appears.

Doesn't look like anybody picked up on the faces of the clocks showing, I sure didn't. Great feel to this image, well done!

Another 4th place? You have really bad luck here! I gave this a 10, very cool and artistic shot...
