Just beautiful in every way. Your use of depth is perfect. Composed like a classical masterpiece.

While pillars against dark silhouettes, stillness against movement, concrete against flesh... love that picture stuffed with meaningful contrasts...

Lunamania from Oakland, United States
I love the three ghostly figures and the fact that they are three and not two or one--if that makes any sense...

Fantastic. Composition and processing. Great quote also!!

Very nice DOF and bokeh. The BW processing really give this image some "pop".

Excellent composition. The silhouetted figures make for a great counterpoint to the white columns.

Enchanting! Beautiful feel to this image, the light is magnificent BC!

Precious. The silhouettes that move away, that detail of light in the columns and black and white the powerful one.

...je trouve cette image merveilleuse.... j'adore les ombres et l'atmosphère un peu mystérieuse.....

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Very interesting words to go with the image or good image to illustrate the words. I like very much the perfect interation between the two. And the philosophical meaning of it.

Ghosts silhouettes... and I like those pillars catching lights, absorbing shadows...

EYES WIDE SHUT from United Kingdom
As though we are tailing our targets and taking cover wherever possible. If the lady to the right did not have the bag, it would possibly appear like three spirits from another dimension (and that is not a criticism in any way).
Wonderful, Sharon, simply wonderful

Love this shot...the focus on the foreground is nice. The three ghostly figures walking away from the camera leave a lot to the imagination.
Just noticed your site was selected by the VFXY people for their weekly thing. Congrats on that.

Such drama, BC ... the touch of light on the columns is brilliant ... ron

The dark strange figures I do look for them, very mysterious, an enigma of the streets.

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Good choice of focal plane. We only see what it's at close range. Everything else looks fuzzy, undefined, uncertain.

Laurie from New Jersey, United States
Love the way you focused on the foreground columns. Very effective.

So mysterious...it makes the imagination dance.

Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada
this is terrific. Great framing and love the juxtaposition of the solid architecture and the softness of the blurred (shallow dof) people -- nicely done.

Superb image, you have isolated them in a blur, but they are still present.

Polydactyle from Montreal, Canada
Excellent again! This compo is just amazing. Nice focus, nice light... and the three figures add to the austere atmosphere of the place. The type of image that I create, but am unable to do.

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
I love your style! I don`t know what you do for living (9 to 5) , but you should take your photography further down the road, past A3, Sharon. You must share your art with the larger audience. It deserves to be shown and seen. If you published a book, I would be the first one in line, girl!

At first I thought this was from one of your film cameras but I see it is from your D70. It's a very nice result. Great creative work with the compo and the concept.

Haunting quote to go with a superb image of no-one and everyone, nowhere but everywhere . .
