i agree withyou that this is subtle. but the "movement" theme is just screaming for jets and cheetahs and cars and such. i was trying to tiptoe around the periphery of the word to avoid giving you what you were expecting. this shot and the one of the golden gate bridge show static objects captured over time. so the movement isn't just the obvious two dimensional motion of the subject in the frame. this is movement in the FOURTH dimension (whoa). so there.

Grant, to be honest, I hadn't even noticed the people the few times I looked at this shot in original size. The light is on the statue and the walls and since there is not much detail in the walls, what comes across as the main subject of this shot is the statue - and maybe, on a secondary level, the contrasting pillars - both very static elements... It is an interesting shot and the moving people add interest and scale (now that I see them), but I don't think it is a very successful shot of movement - for the above mentioned reasons. --Olaf
