Absolutely brilliant, mate! So Jay Maisel/Pete Turner/Eric Meola!

What Slobodan said. But I would've said "Pete turner."

What Slobodan said. But I would've said "Pete turner." 

Sorry, Eric, I was so excited when I saw Seamus image, my hands were shaking, hence the typo.

On the other hand...

 

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

I hope you're not calling me OCD, Slobodan, because I'm certainly NOT OCD!
I insist on correcting only precisely every third error that I see.

Great Image...I absolutely love his shadow and how it adds depth in this shallow space.

... But I would've said "Pete turner." 

Then again, I hope you would've said Pete Turner

I agree.

[Eric Myrvaagnes]

Then again, I hope you would've said Pete Turner 

Well, you see, my own errors are the ones in-between every third one that I feel compelled to correct.

I, on the other hand, proudly have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in alphabetical order, AS THEY SHOULD BE.

(Fantastic shot, by the way.)

I heartily agree with the praise. Is CDO treatable? If it is then the forum would would be greatly improved if the sufferers sought help.

Beautiful shot, it reminds me Bansky.

Beautiful shot, it reminds me Bansky.

Same here, allthough I guess Bansky is Andreas Gursky's cousin from the UK ? 

What a marvellous image by the way !

Cool photo. What's the story? Are these pins that he is trying to sell? performance art?

[Bob_B]

+1. Indeed! I can't think of anything else to add. Simply a great photo!

I think he's just pinning them to the wall.  I was walking through a very crowded alley in Rome with the sun coming down in the late afternoon. The shadows were everywhere, so I just waited for him to raise his arms and cast a shadow on the wall. And then I pounced for a glimpse of a crowd-free moment. It takes a while! Basic street photography, I suppose.

Hi Seamus,

I see for this shot you used the Fuji XT-1. Is that fairly new and how do you like it?
