Another Frantic Christmas Whizzes By

Thanks

you are amazing -- how in the world did you manage to catch Santa in motion?

The juxtaposed subjects carry this picture, I think.

 

At first I nearly overlooked it because the light and colors are flat, and the surrounding environment is has an awkward crop, and is cluttered (and also shot from an uninteresting angle), but the bicyclist and Santa together are quite funny, and I think the other shortcomings of the picture actually work to accentuate the absurdity (Santa is plastic, after all). Very amusing capture.

I like it!

 

I am thinking ...who is faster your mind or your camera :))))

Very funny...

Wow, yet another toure de force performance from the virtuoso. The physical feat of the shot somewhat overshadows the depth of the metaphor. One of your very best. And, a Happy New Year, Old Man!

Very well seen! Stunning photograph!

Ha, "...Santa in motion..." That's it.

All the best in New Year Jack to you and your family.

Just a wow,wow......( I'm speechles..can you imagine?;-)) Jast continue in 2010 !

Excellent work Jack. Great timing. I like how Santa is waving on the bicyclist.

Happy New Year.

Excellent shot Jack....funny and well seen and produced.

yeah, that´s it! life as santa isn´t that easy in these times of stress. good shooting, Jack! and a happy new year of course!! :-)

Good timing! Very nice!

This is exactly what my Christmas was like this year...over and gone before I ever got in the spirit.

I'm quite glad to be starting a New Year and I'm doing it with hope in my heart, and goodwill toward "most" mankind, and blessings to the beasts. Other than all that fal-da-ra I love the spontaneity of this image, I almost waved back. And it was nice to get a visit from an ol' friend.

The combo of elements made me smile.
