The coalescing of moving figures into a foreground-midground-background composition, the interaction with the observer… the split-second alignment of it all before it vanishes like a dream.
I live — photographically speaking — for moments like this.

Excellent Nathan!
peter,
that shot is spectacular. the fact that you pulled it off with moving subjects blows my mind. you continue to amaze.
Thank you nickolas! Yes, the movement happening and then the figures arranging in this sequence, each with their own posture and expression, that’s what I was lucky to catch.
Spot on Peter, what a fantastic shot, its all there.
Colin
Thank you Colin!

My Best to You Mon Ami ;
Hugues.
Merci, cher Hugues! You understand about creating images, for certain.
Great shot! Just yesterday, here in southern Korea, I heard the sound of dozens of policemen counting off (or whatever the verb is) in unison as they jogged around a barracks oval. I so wanted a close-up shot over the fence, but one of them saw me and held my eyes as they moved past – on two circuits! – and I was so intimidated, I was only game to sneak off a couple from behind!
I understand your hesitation completely. I wonder if you had given a little nod with your head and then raised the camera up to your eye… in that moment if you could have read his face… if he acquiesced, well, then you may have been able to capture the scene. Maybe next time?…
Yeah, you’re probably right. Anyway, now I know where they live…
