This is cool how the arrows are creating a focal point & this lady just happens to be walking across is the right spot! Nice..

hi Philippe, dynamic lines. black arrows and in the focus of this I find a girl walking. Talk about perfect timing. The greenblue veil at the edge left corner as are falling downwards is an good element. /barbro

Great Eye Philippe! I like street photography because is not so easy. Maybe The result is not really perfect, but The color and the composition are really good, and this image invokes freedom... Nice work!

Kind of energy, freedom of expression, heightened awareness all are exhibited here in this well done shot. She looks interesting - and so does the background!

Actually, I like this photo a lot! I might crop just a bit off the bottom, but the composition is so perfect that it more than compensates for any slight technical flaws. I don't know how you feel about photo manipulation, but if you aren't opposed to it, get rid of the graffiti and see what you think. I did just a little Photoshopping and without the distraction of the graffiti, the image seems a lot more powerful. Of course, you might feel the graffiti is an important element (and it is if this is to remain true, honest 'street' photography), but still....

Good eyes, good timing. It is a cute image that I believe is a candid one that means even more difficult for the photographer to control the situation.
More tighter not to cut the story, more detail in lines of this picture or may be different subjects and then a collage, well possibilities are countless and potentials many to create more of this scene.

It is a great stage, but this and the previous still needs a person of persons with more impact. This is just not enough to hold my attention - ;o)-max-
