I don't know how I missed this one. Incredible capture. I love the silhouettes, and the capture of motion is beautiful.

Impressive work my friend.

A very interesting effect, almost like the 'ghost' is sliding across the picture whilst everything else is frozen. I love the light on the water, beautiful. Would have looked better without the second person in it though

Who ever said "The thumbnail doesn't do it justice," yeah well, I agree with them!

The shot is excellent. The composition is spot on. Every thing is balanced so well. The cold dark shapes of the arches with the soft, warm tones of the light areas. The hard lines with the blurred movement of the people. And even the lines at the back of the stage (?), running perpendicular to each other.

The lighting is great. That, combined with the 8 second shutter speed really puts out a nice glow, and one hell of a spooky atmosphere.



I agree with *achfoo in some respects. I think that it would be a really cool idea to have 3 different people doing different actions, but it would really need to be symbolic in some way. Symbolism is the kay to making a really outstanding shot!

Hey, Thats my hometown! The fountain used to be my favorite place to go when I needed to relax. Makes me feel like Im in a sci-fi though, driving down Post Oak Blvd because of those streetlights and markers they put in for Robo cop or some other movie....
Anyways, this is a Great shot!

Very well done! The scene is fantastic. My only comment is that the image might be a bit more interesting if the action was to one side. Rule of thirds, ya know. Thanks for the eye candy, !
