[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am still convinced that New York City is one of the best cities for photography in the world. Theres always stuff to shoot, and in this instance, always random stuff that happens to find itself in your frame accidentally.

I was using the archway as a frame to get a series of different people walking under it at different paces, when suddenly this trio (girl, guy, dog in the basket) just zipped right past and into my frame. I was lucky to capture them, and even lucker that it turned out so well!

hi Jonathan,
Interesting black and white shot! very well composed and great viewpoint!
LC

Like a Poster, but the charpness could be better. BW is a really good choice. TFS, Jalab

Superb shot, right moment, well done, love the b/w. I agree with Jalab that a bit more sharpness, if possible...

TFS

I like the idea to capture the shadow of the world, the effect is great in B&W, especialy with the shadow in the middle of the door.
Well done,
Jean-Claude

Hi Jon. Yes, you were lucky to capture this! Street shooting sometimes get me tired and hopless because quite offen I walk around the city and get nothing as a result in the end of the day. I get one so-so pic out of 100 shots maybe. When a chance takes place before me, unfortunately I'm not ready for taking a pic. So and so I think it is very hard to see something perfect happening in front thus street photoraphy is so fun! You did well in everything on the shot. Nice compositions and funny moment and nice B&W shot.

Hi Jonathan,
You are right about New York City. I have been living here for the last 6 years and yet it never ceases to amaze me. Your shot is just another example. I must say that you have captured it beautifully. Good eye! The shadows are really cool to watch.
Well done,
Shaeri

Hi Jonathan

Beautiful silhouette … the position and the timing are great need some sharpening though
