Roy,

Great use of color, especially since the girl is the only person/thing moving fast, which really "clicks" with this shot. I like it.

Hi John,
Thats a very good remark. I had two pictures of the same thing. One a few seconds later than the other. I used the girl of the first in the second picture and was pleased with the result. I placed the girl in front of the two guys so that it would look like they are watching her passing, although, in fact, they were staring in the space.
And alain, your comment was exactly what I got from my girlfriend, she said the same. (It was an impressive moment eh? ;-)

This pic reminds me of that superb movie 'Schindlers List'. As you prob know, this is a B&W movie, but in one famous sequence there is that red little girl, in the middle of people on the run, being followed with the camera...
Great 'tension' in your pic, but the lower left seems to be missing something...(*JK*)

Hi Roy,
I was wondering how/whether you were going to be able to tidy up the left with the same original, so same girl, different view of the guys is a creative solution that puts her in a more interesting position with the guys looking at her than in your previous pic where she was already past them! Good effort and nice pic.
Cheers, John

Hi John,
As you probably see I've updated the image. Did some more post processing, and cropped the distracting part away.
Greetz,

Hi Roy,
Good interpretation. This is a strong pic, but would be improved IMHO by cropping tighter at the right and avoiding the distracting stuff at the lower left (through cloning/healing?). However, quite an effective pic.
Cheers, John
