And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere"

I really like this shot a lot, mostly because it is an angle that we don't normally see from. Nice work.

Now I see it, it's the floor and yes it's full of ghosts. She's running through ghosts, trying to escape from them? Are we running through our own ghosts?

Wonderful eye, bird eye over this scene. Doubt is uncomfortable but the necessary first step before a real efficient stairs of hope ? Love the play of lights, the pattern, the feeling*

What else can be said.

Book worthy

Impressive composition Sharon, really like the eerie mood you created with the lights and shadows. The fast pace of the woman enhances the anxiety of the atmosphere here. Excellent work!

wow, this is a composition which is beautifull. I love your pov, the game of light and shadows at the ground, and the presence of a human hurrying somewhere

Godo from Barcelona, Spain
I envy the way you compose the scenes of your pics.
In this case the blur figure and the shadows are the perfect complement to the newspaper machines.
We can read the image going from the left material side (machines) to the evanescent shadows, passing by the blur figure.
Just brilliant, Sharon ;o)

The shadow, this alive mystery which becomes attached to us and escapes us at the same time... I like this silhouette in movement. Well done ! Bravooo ! :-)

Nataly from Santa Monica, United States
Wonderful, Sharon. It could`ve been an ordinary photo if it wasn`t your framing and composition. The shadows and light streaks create the triangle as if they were guiding this person out of the frame. Very well done!
