Wow, I didn't even notice these people here until I saw it in the large size. The main subject really draws a lot of attention!

I cant believe I hadnt uploaded this image before now.
I shot this May 30th in the hight of my Epson R-D1 shooting phase. Ive gone trhough a lot of cameras this year let alone film. I just with I had grabbed this on slide film, because its a jpg image not RAW, and I think its a little flat.

I sot it on the corner of Virginia and 5th in downtown Seattle, which is a no flash corner at the start of the summer in the early evenings.
I had the R-D1 and my stock 15mm which becomes a 21mm. I was walking by and out of the corner of my eye I saw this very tall young girl, bound accross the street, what a glide! I back handed the camera, and felt the shutter go, this happened. That 15mm is is the only anti-focus lens for rangefinder, that and maybe the 12mm. It was probably wide open because there is considerable vignetting.

Ive been showcasing this image along with a few others over the summer and have had a lot of interest in my work recently.

I think this is one of my most exciting and favorite street images.
I hope you like it too.

I think this is fantastic - to be honest I think it works well as a fashions shot too, it has that feel to it.

YES! Great capture, it inspires me to get out there. I agree with mytarastar, it has that fashion shoot feel where she's popping out...

The slight tilt, the girl in midair, her shadow on the pavement, her beautiful legs, and the feeling I've dreamed with this (haven't we all ;-)),
makes this quite a pic. I'll be watching out for your Leica pictures.

This is just an incredible photograph - the angle and ... vignette give it a slightly dreamy feel, to me. The way the subject is captured mid-run is spectacular, and I love the visual obliviousness of the people around to the wonderful moment you've captured.

Exceptional. I'm so glad to have seen this, really. Thank you.

What a great moment. The lighting, her body in mid-air, the direction of the foot traffic, and the gaze of the couple bring it all together.

Awesome! it reminds me of that classic (b&w) guy jumping off a puddle in france (?) and all the other great photos I saw on "the Genius of Photography" on Youtube.

and sorry if this is an amature question, I've just started really shooting -- but what do you mean when you say you think it's a bit flat? the colors? how do you make it not-flat?

and there's something about the way her body is suspended in mid air, and the way her shadow is cast on the pavement. I love it.

cheers!

I love that picture, great light and shadow and perfect motion capture. Would be a great fashion shot, too. If only she would wear fashion, it could be in Vogue! But still very beautiful and exciting! Awesome!
