Excellent! I was immediately struck with a sense of exasperation. While the photo does seem busy, it fits. After all, most bike couriers work in busy places, with lots of traffic, lots of buildings, and lots of people. Certainly enough to wear me out. As there is no one else in the frame, I get the impression this was taken at the end of her day as the city winds down for the night. Technical merits aside (I'm not qualified to comment on that, anyway), you've certainly captured the mood. Was the out of focus trash can in the fore ground left in for a reason? I like it there, but was wondering if you intended it to mean something specific. -- Scott Loveless Born free. Taxed to death.
