 Fun fair.
I didn't carry a tripod, and ended up keeping the camera on a bin.

Put the camera on Shutter Priority and shot a few at 2 seconds.

There were people moving in front of the camera all the time. I saw the person on the right standing like a statue listening to the people he was with talking about and thought I'd use him.

I didn't like the street light behind the wheel because it was causing lens flare and I thought I didn't need that, but I ended up enjoying it in the shots becuse of the effect.

OK on my first go round (pun intended) I didn't see the woman in the street light thing. That makes it so much better. If you could post the unedited version that would be cool to compare it to. Congrats on an underapreciated pic.

I would agree that this is highly underated. You have done an outstanding job of capturing the energy and almost boredom (man on right) of the scene. Contrasting the two creates an effective tension. Very well done.

Boy, you ended up with a spread of scores. This photo was tied with two others as my top pick. Really cool photo.

Can you add some notes to the photo description on how you did this?

i'm not 100% sure what is going on but I've got to give you a 10 for getting the street lamp to come out as it did...and the women's ghostly face framing. the entire composition and lighting are fantastic and quite a trip.

Original and cool image. Well constructed except maybe how tight the person is in the frame. Well done.
