I love this shot, Eric. It's the sort of thing I dream of doing but, on the few occasions I've tried, the results have been lacklustre.

This is what photography should be all about... Discuss.

Best wishes,

Andrew

This is a class act Eric, the dynamic and static subject matter combine well to convey the vibrance of the street life and scene.

Excellent - conveys the effect you were trying to achieve perfectly and must have been difficult to get right technically.

Firstly, welcome to the Gallery!
Was the camera supported? If not, it worked rather well at 1/13th! One small point for me, I would like to have to have seen the camera aimed just a little lower, which goes for your following shot also. Otherwise, very successful.
