Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere"

a beautiful arial shot!! love the wispy patterns of light reflection across the courtyard!! faaabulous!!
7 Jul 2009 5:28am
I really like this shot a lot, mostly because it is an angle that we don't normally see from. Nice work.
7 Jul 2009 5:32am
great vantage point, reminds me of Rodchenko's work. Top Shot.

Wonderful photo - the lighting is spectacular, and the angle of view just so special.

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?
7 Jul 2009 7:40am
great point of view above the scene ! superb play of light and shadows !
7 Jul 2009 7:58am
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*
7 Jul 2009 8:31am
nice perspective and capture of motion. hope the news was worth the effort :)
7 Jul 2009 9:07am
The arrow shape of the shades give a lot of power to this capture. Well seen!
7 Jul 2009 9:54am
Great angle of view Sharon ! I like the different shapes of lights and shadows.
7 Jul 2009 10:11am
What else can be said.
I agree with everyone.
Ah no one pointed out that you even captured the movement of the women.
Book worthy

A wonderful surreal feeling to this picture Sharon! It fits the poem you have included perfectly! Well done! ;-)
7 Jul 2009 11:55am
totally wonderful! the light, the repetitive square shapes of the tiles and newspaper boxes, the point of view and the slanting shadows echoed in her leg and swinging arm... love it!
7 Jul 2009 12:37pm
Beautiful game of light and shade animated by the character...
7 Jul 2009 12:38pm
Jolie.. cette personne pressée au milieu de ces ombres et lumière et ces boites sur la gauche qui la regarde, le tout dans une ambiance NB comme j'aime
7 Jul 2009 12:48pm
Great use of the light Sharon, suburb B & W as usual *****
7 Jul 2009 1:18pm
The ghosts walk on our tracks ...... the shadows in pursuit of the shadows....
7 Jul 2009 1:49pm
Greetings from the underworld welcoming committee... :-)
7 Jul 2009 2:40pm
She seems to be in a hurry but there are more ghosts ahead. Will it never end? What a wonderful image. Love it.
7 Jul 2009 3:13pm
Very nicely done, Sharon. It's an intriguing capture.
7 Jul 2009 3:23pm

7 Jul 2009 3:52pm
Great angle and wonderful play of light and shadows... and such a strong body expression you've captured! Above all this is conveying an extraordinary and intriguing mood! Just love it!
7 Jul 2009 4:49pm

Terrific perspective. Wonderful sense of movement. Love the shadow on the middle, right.
7 Jul 2009 7:55pm
Excellent point of view, great light and wonderful shadow! I love it !
7 Jul 2009 8:22pm
Hmm... ran through ghosts to get here but leeaves abruptly. Nice moment.
7 Jul 2009 8:53pm
a ghost through the streets, diving and it follows that moving shadow on the shining pavement, between darkness and bright light, excellent photo ..
7 Jul 2009 9:20pm
awesome, i like the shadows taken and your viewpoint is exceptional! Great mood captured here.
7 Jul 2009 10:48pm
K@rine pointed out that I've done something horrible to you, I have absolutely no idea that I had... :-(
I'm soryy if I did, Sharon. Please see my response to K@rine.
Now I wish I were one of your ghousts just disappear....
8 Jul 2009 1:17am
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!
8 Jul 2009 1:41am
Shadows, lines, light, mouvment... All items that you know very well used. Bravo!
8 Jul 2009 2:09am
This is my favourite type of photograph. It reminds me of the the old masters. Love the shadows and reflections on the cobble stones. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your positive comment.
8 Jul 2009 2:36am
Good shot, i like the play with light and shadow, well done!
8 Jul 2009 2:56am
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
8 Jul 2009 5:40am
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)
8 Jul 2009 5:52am
What a wonderful shot. The lighting is just exceptional!
8 Jul 2009 6:02am
Once again and amazing image. You would think of ghosts when you see this image.
8 Jul 2009 6:26am
Light, movement and a graphic look make this an amazing image!
8 Jul 2009 9:06am
Cool B&W composition, I like the abstract element in this shot.
8 Jul 2009 10:32am
Excellent! How did you get this angle? It looks like you were hanging out of your airplane!
8 Jul 2009 11:19am
What can I say that hasn't been already said?!?!? Love your point-of-view and the mood you've captured/created. Excellent processing in b&w.
8 Jul 2009 11:34am
This is pure magic . . your Title is just the icing to a truly wonderful photograph. Fives !
8 Jul 2009 11:55am
Shapes of shadows are very interesting. And shooting angle is very nice. Excellent.
8 Jul 2009 12:30pm
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 ! :-)
8 Jul 2009 1:08pm
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!
8 Jul 2009 2:10pm
You have a great eye for composition and I love the processing. Excellent.
8 Jul 2009 3:04pm
A fine composition. Very interesting shadows and actions. The viewpoint works out very well.
8 Jul 2009 3:07pm
Great point of view above the scene! Superb light!
8 Jul 2009 3:52pm
Excellent shot and it does indeed look like some ghostly presence in the shadow play on the ground.
8 Jul 2009 4:13pm
A superbly angled picture...love the shadows and movement creating the desired mood...brilliant work!
8 Jul 2009 4:19pm
Nice capture of the whimsical play of light and shadow on the floor.

9 Jul 2009 3:20am
