Excellent urban portrait mate.

Love this one. Nicely thought out and well executed.

Hi Gregoire, I like your style here with this image, it sort of shows fast city life to me (we never see more than one bus at a time in rural wales ). I wondered if this would have worked even better in monochrome, and maybe crop a bit off the left hand side so that Stephen is not quite bang in the middle. We will look forward to seeing more from you.

I really like the fact he is in the middle, I think it add's to the pace and impact of the photo- my only niggle is the bus headlight on his arm on the right hand side

I agrees - this is a great image - would like to see a mono version too - but I think the colours work great in this one IMHO

Hi Gregoire,
I have always liked this effect of motionless verses movement in the same image. It is a shame we cannot see your exif to show what shutter speed you were using. Have you tried this same effect in a crowded area, where all of the people milling around your model show movement and your model remains perfectly still? Also a great effect.
I believe this one has been layered with a sepia tone, this in my view adds more impact than the bw version, which I prefere. Great shot
