I don't know that I'd use this as a postcard shot, but I think it's the photo of mine that says the most about Olympia: 1. bike with grocery basket, 2. whimsically painted building, 3. unusual shopping, 4. thriving downtown, and 5. laid back people, as typified by that old skateboard dude gliding out of the shot. I wanted him at a different spot in the shot, but a car passed between us and luckily I just caught him on the way out of the photo. So it's a rule-breaker, but it does balance the shot a little better.
LOVE the old skater dude exiting the image in a blur while the other mens 'slower' implied movements are frozen. The almost unreadable chalk message on the sidewalk also adds a bit of mystery. Lots going on. Great visual story! Good job breaking the rules to make it your own unique image! You were successful in capturing the decisive moment. The intriguing thing is, this exact scene will NEVER happen in the exact way again!
