Shadow Boxer

Interested in any impressions this image may give you.

Peter, I was taking a look at the critique forum after posting an image and this one caught my eye. I love the play of subject and shadow. Who is this guy and what the heck is he doing?

He was at a fork in one of those roads that cross Central Park. He actually was crazy, although it is cheating to say that, because it collapses the significance of the picture. Every time a car went by and tooted at him, he flipped them off. He was shadow boxing. Very angry guy. I like the moment in this image because for me it is a reminder that some of our most significant victories are over things inside us. And when we are free of them, they have no more power over us than a shadow.

Striking photo (no pun intended).
