Amazing photo!

tHanks so much for your kind words Hank!

Great color and balance in this one too. This picture makes me think Paris 1920s. Definitely inspires me to get out and do more ICM photography, although you have a lot more foot traffic and architecture in NYC from which to choose your compositions. In a small town where we get a few inches of rain a year I could wait a lifetime for this shot. On the other hand maybe I could talk a couple people into "posing" for me and staging the shot. Do you ever go that route or do you exercise a lot of patience?

Thanks Ed. None of my images are staged, though the beach image is of an unsuspecting relative (you have to be careful at the beach.........).

I am from a small town myself and have to say that the city offers so many more opportunities for this type of work. That said even then there are so many failures due to the numerous variables involved.

If interested in learning more check out my blog entries (search Streetwalker series) and guide to the followICM technique used for this work.
