Photographer’s Note
I was walking down Rue Sherbrooke, heading back to my hotel, when I saw this guy navigating his way against the traffic on his skateboard. I followed him for a while, but he was out of sight within a couple of minutes, apparently threading the needle successfully.
I cropped the image, adjusted the levels, and sharpened and resized it before uploading.

When I saw the title I couldn't help but think of a scene from "Marathon Man." I'm actually flying up to Montreal tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to taking some more photos while I'm there.
The picture is well focused on the man on the skateboard. Interesting shot of him juxtaposed against the oncoming traffic.
