2.74 - "Solid" 

Taken during a snowstorm in downtown Toronto, this is the precise moment a large gust knocked some of the pedestrian's cargo off his carrier. Seemingly unaware, he carried on across the road before being notified of his missing luggage. I love how the streetlights lead the eye towards the subject, who appears to be staring down the oncoming traffic.

Great job going out and getting a shot when it isn't comfortable or convenient. I think I might crop out the bottom foreground and the top 15% or so and make it a landscape. That would focus more on the best parts of the image and also imply the long distance left-to-right that the pedestrian has to cross.

That's some fantastic advice; will definitely try a crop like that. Thanks for the kind words Brian!
