First steps. Second steps. Only foward. Running in circles.

It's the first time I visit your photoblog and... if actually these are your first steps, you are a talented person, without any doubt. Very good street capture, I like the contrast between the blurred figure and the sharper graffitis. My only minor minor minor really minor dislike is about the reflections in the left and right upper side of the wall.

@Xavi Heredia: Thanks a lot, and i agree with you: the reflections are a drawback, but with the light in this place i couldn't avoid them - neon lamps on both sides, they were always reflecting in some part of the picture, no matter where i moved...

Cool! I like the movement in this image. The man simultaneous with the planes.
Well seen & done!!

It almost looks like the man is flying by the planes.

Hey there, thanks for the comment on my photo today! As mentioned above, the reflection off the wall is a little distracting (nothing that can't be fixed in post production, if you do that) but besides that very small thing, I love the image, the movement, I think you've got a great eye!

I like the movement of the person walking by. Looks great. Nice point of view also.

I like much this closed-up urban, and it parallel between the drawn movement with the wall with the real movement of the character ;)

Beautiful capture! I like the framing and the feel of movement.

Marvellous image! He's distinct in his blur, as though he's just floating through this surreal world lost in his fantasies.
