I dug this shot out of my photo folders.. i don't know why i didn't post it earlier.. This is one of the many street performers that can be found on Southbank, Melbourne. I desaturated the image and added a radial blur to focus in on the performer.

So, nicely done that you have me as focused on what he's doing as the folks standing all around him. I'm wondering what exactly he is doing! It looks like he's tied himself up in chains much to the bemusement of the crowd. I like b/w and your use of the blurring function.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Excellent shot and a most judicious move in terms of post-sweetening.

I really enjoy this type/genre of photography and you have indeed captured a 'moment.'

Well done. And thank you for sharing this one. Please do not be dissuaded from posting work like your image here ... it has an audience. :o)

p.s. I say he escaped from his shackles and chains ... or he's still there waiting upon your return with camera in hand. :oP

So that's what happens when you don't clear your bank overdraft!..lol. I like the effect you have created with the B&W, and radial blur, it really works to create the atmosphere. Excellent presentation...thanks for sharing.
