Taken from the shopping district of Amsterdam, a very busy place full of tourists and locals where trying to get a clear shot was almost impossible.

just superb. The man expression is well captured, surrounded by ghosts...

Nice one, Brendan, he seems to just have arrived from a different world and staring helplessly at all the strange creatures surrounding him...

Cheers
Alexander

Man, you have found your Trent Parke stride now, mate. You best Amster pic to date and really top notch. Love it! All hat movement blur around the stationary fellow with the beard.
Cool,
Francis

Hi Brendan
Just great picture good POV
Really he look like form the horror movie ...just arrived in the world of ghosts
B&W is going exelant.
Best regards,

This is a very good scene Brendan. The standing guy surrounded by all these ghosts seems to been taken from a Hitchcock movie. His expression is very good. Concerning the b&w conversion I am not that sure. I mean, it's too gray for my taste... not a single pixel of white or black. Why not color this time?

Hi Brendan,
for me the b/w is too grey, I can't see white in the picture.
But this is a minor problem... how you have isolated this man in the busy street is perfect.
I've done a WS

Hi Brendan,

Nice shot with the focus only on this man. I've just made a WS according my idea.

Regards,
Stéphanie.

Good shot but way underexposed. Pascal's ws improves it slightly.

This is a very good focus. The blur around the sharp guy is cool. Looks like he lives in a world of goasts.

a classic way to catch u with statics and dynamics at the same time, the monochrome quality could have been better, stronger contrats would have given more life in the frame. Good work anyway.
Greetings,
Arnab

Hello Brendan - great shot through the flow of traffic, keeping this gentleman in sharp focus as he puts on a great state into the distance. His head position that runs counter to the direction the people seem to be walking makes it seem like he is waiting for someone to catch up, which I like. Almost like he did 'escape' from someplace and is searching the crowd for his pursuers.

Hi brendan, I have always liked those photos of one still person in the middle of the fury of a crowd..; I also like the first guy on the left watching you! and the overall bokeh around the still guy!

Yes, I see why. It is always nice to find a face to rest your eyes on. His is one. A curious expression, fine features, the one that is clear amidst the insane rush. An excellent shot, beutifully taken, with perfect exposure.

hello Brendan,

I like the moving people rushing on your photo and the one man, standing there, thinking ... it gives the image a lot of dynamism and much more power !
greetings, inn

This picture is wonderful, the blurry face are great with the sharp one lost in that world, the face on the left is a great bonus, very nice Brendan...

Hi Brendan
The way this guy is standing there in the middle of all the people rushing by looks pretty good, nicely seen, it gives a good impression of the busy street.
