Crosswalk

Jack,  Nice street image with an interesting pop art look.  Perhaps the car at the right background failed to stop for people in the crosswalk?    Nicely visioned and captured.  Larry

Love the lines!  The people add to it as well.  I like that each person has one foot raised up off the ground, as if they were in step with each other (both left feet as well!).

Lots and lots of film noir instantanés lately Jack.
Keep them coming please.

Scene from a film noir, in color. 

Cheers

An excellent shot in color -- does the composition and style lead toward monochrome?  I, too, am very fond of the Film Noir look!

I was just looking at some of Drew Bayless' work and, and on one, remarked about how I liked these types of color street photos, accidents that are not accidents. 

I love this as it is, but I could not help but put up my left and right hands to crop out the light base at left, and the car fender at right...just to see what it looked like.  If it were my photo I would probably just leave it exactly as you have done -- as the crop might seem a little too forced, allowing very little room between the figures and the edge of the frame.  But it puts this type of image in the back of my mind, to steal your idea and perhaps wait for the appropriate light, street corner, and pedestrian positions.  (As an aside -- I have noticed that my street shooting has been getting a little more intentional lately.  I normally ramble through the streets looking for opportunities.  Now I will sometimes stake out a store window, or a street corner with interesting light contrast, etc., and wait for potentially interesting tableaus.  But a steady diet of that can become tiresome and cliche' in itself.)

What I like about your image here is that I don't see it as a cliché, but it is very strong to me.  The anonymous pedestrians creating a moment of tension and pattern, a relationship unbeknownst to them, but evident to the viewer and the photographer.
