City Competition 3 2014 - all cities! : Entry Number 90

When we say “Wow!” it’s very likely it’s up there in the ranking. In this fantastic exposure the roller-skater reaches high as he catches air and stretches his arms to the sky. It keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. The perspective elongates the horizontal image, leading the eye upward. We love the even formation of the crowd. Awesome shot!

Congratulations to the winner and the other short-listed photographers in this All Cities competition. My passion is street photography. This shot was taken in Paris using a Leica M Monochrom with a Leica Summicron-M 50mm f/2 lens, wide open. Processing in Lightroom 5 and Silver Efex Pro 2. Andrew Lance.
