Woooowww! Genious done!! Only harm that the boy are not so sharp. I think this is a snap shot with a compact cam? Makes a big big impact.

Nice tones and well composed. I questioned the relevance, because for me the main subject is the child, who looks small in that large empty space - but then it is a big space, so I gave a 4 in the end. Beautiful picture anyway.

mooch said 504 days ago:

It would not look big were the child not in this. He gives it context. This was shot with an DSLR, I kind of like the motion blur, it is as though he is rushing towards the light (which he was).

Thanks Ana!

ChriZ said 504 days ago:

Ah love it! A big world! I think the slight motion blur totally adds to the image!
High marks!

Tanja said 504 days ago:

25.

A brilliant idea that here it's not the main element - the child - is big, but the surroundings.
Also, the backlighting works very well for me.

This is wonderful! Great light.

King said 503 days ago:

Well done, mooch. Congratulations!

mooch said 502 days ago:

Thanks everyone. This shot went straight in at 3.96 after the minimum number of votes. I don't know how weeklyshot works but it then took a further 7 odd hours before it got onto the front page. Still, most pleased, this is a personal favourite.

Jay said 502 days ago:

Blinding shot.

George said 502 days ago:

Great one. Congrats mooch!

By the way, I browsed over to your profile here on WS and noticed that the URL for your website is http://www.weeklyshot.org/user/mooch/http//:www.moochuk.com which, when clicked, takes you to the WS homepage. That might something you can remedy yourself but if not then an e-mail to Brandon will probably straighten it up in no time.

Well...it's getting stranger by the second...unless you have a redirect on your site, when trying to get to http//:www.moochuk.com I'm redirected to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/

Intentional?

mooch said 502 days ago:

Cheers for the heads up George it has been sorted...

Wow Mooch. What can I say, this is awesome!! It just goes to show that an image ddoes not need to be perfectly in focus w/ crystal celar image quality to be effective. This is a VERY effective shot. The division of 50/50 between the upper and lower portions of the frame being darke/lit is awesome, and the lighting is spectacular. This would be been a good one for "Dramatic Light" also.

Thank you gorin. As an aside this is also a rather famous landmark. I captured this in what was once the turbine room of the Battersea Power Station, now also better known as Tate Modern.
