On a constant search for enlightenment

I went into town to attempt some street shots. Turns out I suck at it. Next time I might take a different lens.....This was taken in the Art Gallery. It is the best of a bad bunch. I am not unhappy with it just frustrated at my lack of street shooting skill.

No Man, this is a pretty cool shot.

@jrambo001 Thanks John - I have just added some more to the description. I am not unhappy with this shot - I was hoping for something else (I don't know what though). Thank you for taking the time to look and comment. Much appreciated.

How weird shot this is, it´s like you´d capture one of Santa´s helpers on a move :D I too find the rythm here pleasing

[Spanner]

@susale thanks Suse.

This is spooky - love the ethereal feel to this shot. Feel like I'm glimpsing the past or the future. You could of course argue that ALL photos are glimpses of the past, but yours is ghost like.

@jancb Thanks Jan for taking the time to look and comment. I really appreciate it.

[Rachel Withey]

I really like this. Love the framing, the blur, the reflection and the story works really well. Fav

[Spanner]

@rachelwithey thank you Rachel.

[Karyn Ellis]

I love how you trust the blackness in this shot. You don't shy away from it and in fact you even frame with it. I am drawn into this image.

Again, its funny how we all view things differently. I think this is rather effective. I like it, and think that the lensbaby actually works well here. I have a love/hate relationship with "street photography." I love to look at it, but hate attempting it.

[Rik]

Great composition, and love the processing too. I think you've got just the right blur from the LB

[Spanner]

@mathilde22cat thank you Karyn. I spent awhile considering the processing on this shot. I am glad you think it works. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[Spanner]

@stillcrappysailor thank you. I have to agree with how you feel about street photography. I have to invest much more thought and purpose before I attempt it again.

[Spanner]

@rikshore thank you Rik. Much appreciated.

[Ruby]

I like it :) its gritty and interesting

[Angela Tavan]

Fav! I really like this! It has an air of mystery, great composition, beautiful reflections, lovely B&W contrast. It works very well for me!

[Spanner]

@ourrube thank you Ruby.

[Spanner]

@angelat thank you Angela. I am delighted you like it so much.

[Channelf]

I like it a lot too ! I think it comes from the fact that the subject is almost all black + the framing is cool. Fav.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fav. Really arty. I love the figure walking through xx

[Spanner]

@channelf @psychographer thank you both very much.
