Children of the Night

the thrill to happen upon a fairytale, take a fleeting peek into the fantastic, and still be able to capture the moment... Pictures like this are inexplicable gifts !

Well done , Jack!

The composition is outstanding with a subject that strikes the imagination. The shutter's been raised, four hours after dusk just after the sandman's round, the magician about to unleash the toys characters in the hollow of the night...  Behave kids, this is serious!  As I see it, there is always a child in us.  Nice one Jack!

Very good! That is the "decisive moment" of the man crouching like the figures in the shop window.

We got the witnesses here too.

Enigmatic and unusual, but a very special preservation of a moment in time. I like the balance created by blur both at right and left and the focused center. Night lighting gives it a special meaning - to this person leaving his workplace? Your images always provide food for thought.

Luca saw it too. many figures in the night the ones in the window and the passerby. the human figure really does mimic  the ones in the window or is it vice versa ?

Fine photo with framing - and all the subjects are between real and unreal - as it should in a good story- I like it!:) br Hannu

Very nice street scene Jack, I like to our left, action figures and as we pan we see the gentleman looking to see who you are, some what out of focus we get the feel of movement. Well done.
