Long time, no post.
Of late, life has been a bit more complicated than usual.
Nevertheless I'm still roaming the streets of New York, just a bit less than usual.
From one of the seemingly endless parade of parades that fill the streets from early spring to late fall.

John,

I like the overlapping figures. A fine choice of your angle of approach. It's effective.

It's also valuable that you have caught this still allowed left space behind them. This symbolizes their life up to now. The face a future which is unknown. It's an idea to see if you would be happy cropping the left side of the photograph to within just a 0.75 cm or so from the tip of the first nose. That way, they are saying goodbye to their past. In fact, if there's even more to the right in the original that might be good to consider putting back.

One step left.

Ken,

My first reaction was. "No, it's one step forward and then they are in the military, simple as that" Then I realized you are simple suggesting a more interesting POV. I guess I'm too serious! I never thought of that!

John,

when i see an image like this I always think of the Tralfamadorians - seeing in 4 dimensions - people become caterpillars over time - from their birth to death... this is one person.... to me reading this way makes a strange sense of the image...

...so it goes....

Mark you've added another dimension!

Asher - good idea. I'll try to position them further to the left. It may make for an awkward crop however. There isn't any more to the right side of the original.

One step left.

Ken - I knew eactly what you meant! Opening up the angle may have made for better perspective.
Thanks for the input, it is always appreciated.

Ahhh, Vonnegut...what a crazy mind, eh?
And these guys are green, too!

Thanks everyone for the comments!

Hi John,

Firstly, I am very glad that you are still shooting and that you have decided to share a picture with us. To me, this alone makes this picture special. Besides that, I really like the picture and I found the Tralfamadorians analogy by Mark to be spot on.

So Ken is concise and right (as usual). The image would improve if you could take one step to left. But it does not mean that it is not good enough as it is, on the contrary. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

John

finally we get to see more of your New Yorkians goings on!
you guys are a spectacular busy bunch o' people-

the shot is so interesting when I look at all the various noses-
which show deeply generations of our huge humanity and geneology
how we are all so wonderfully combined in that DNA
'it isn't one it's all'

nice going John Agulat

Charlotte-

Hi Charlotte,
You've made me look at the image from an entirely different perspective!
Yes, I immediately see four very unique noses.
It's just something else to love about having a big city at your doorstep.
Such diversity!
