Excellent comp on the move and the dof works just as well. Very well done, and a shot like this is not that easy.

Excellent story to this and the OOF pedestrian really adds to the story. I keep feeling I want a bit of CW rotation but you have conveyed a very great story.

The pedestrian definitely makes this. The canted angle and DOF work well to make for a dynamic little story to this. Nice one.

The man looking back over his shoulder really makes this. A decisive moment photo in th spirit of Cartier-Bresson.

There are several interpretations that can be made of this scene and that is the main reason why I find this photograph to be so compelling. Really well done, Robert. :toast:
