great image

kadenajack said 584 days ago:

This picture leaves me wanting more.

1) Perhaps a streaking car narrowly missing our subjects

2) Perhaps the goal of their flight across the wide street

You've definitely nailed negative space, but it just seems like something is missing.

I like the concept here, but I don't see any real negative space. It's graphically strong with nice symbols all throughout the frame.

I like the people all the way down at the bottom, but the guy in the whit shirt's head bugs me a little. If you cropped this off half way through his head I think it might be an improvement.

My favorite thing here is the angle. What were you standing on?

ChriZ said 584 days ago:

@Ana, yea, it was there!

@kadenajack, it just seems like something is missing, you're right, and thats the point :)

@gorin, I get your point about croping it a bit more! But at the same time, it builds tention! This shot was taken from an apartment in Geneva, so this was like 4, 5 floors above!

reality said 583 days ago:

outstanding! rated it 25 - even the two people one wearing white - one wearing black couldn't have been better!

dcreighton said 582 days ago:

I just can't stand that cropped off guy wearing white but I like everything else about this image within this theme!

King said 582 days ago:

ChriZ,

Congratulations on another featured image.

I'm sorry, but I must agree with gorin-images and dcreighton about the guy in the white shirt. Putting elements tangent (and I mean tangent specifically in its geometrical sense) with the edge of the frame or tangent to other important elements in the theme, does not build tension so much as it creates eye irritation.

ChriZ said 582 days ago:

Thank you!
Well ok, I guess you all are right, it does not build enough tension to justify! Allthough the eye irritation is kind of neat (hum?)
Anyways,... I'll change it on my "Master Edit"
