Thank you Phil. I agree that word associating is the better choice. Cheers.

Thank you Supriyo. I disagree that cropping of two figures will be beneficial - they do not do their own business that could be a considered as distraction, those two men are looking directly at what happening between the main characters. I agree that including the lower part of banner will introduce some humor to the composition. Cheers.

Thank you Gordon. I did not to try to replicate the form of the level of the painting, this is about of meaning of gesture. I agree the sign should be cropped off. Cheers.

Thank you Sam. I do not think that direct touch will bring more meaning to the photo. I see the parallel between of two gestures of giving life to Adam and an exchange of a product for money as symbols of the genesis. Cheers.

Thank you Michael. I'll give it a try. Cheers.

Thank you Mike. I was using folder Super Ikonta bx, unfortunately, there is no burst mode. I did not try to reproduce the classics. Cheers. Thank you dcstep. I kind of puzzled nonacceptance of fact that photo may/should have the Title. I agree that sign could be losslessly cropped. I did try to adjust the contrast and I lost the man's face. I just like to see details on my photos. Cheers.

Inspired by Michelangelo. Thank you.

Great dynamic photo. I think the face would be distraction in attempt to try to imagine how it would look without the motion blur.

Thank you Phil. Unfortunately, the clipped corner is the product of lens/composition limitation.

Thank you Sam. I actually, was thinking that window-like frame is the source of light. I did not increase contrast by post-processing, I pushed darks down in Curves. I maybe wrong but I think the contrast "inside" the dark areas (walls) did not change but the pic as a whole gained more contrast. The one of the reason that in this Moriyama's photo "... even in the dark lower part of the photo, we're still experiencing such a sense of light." but not happens in my one is that the rich texture of the walls ( in compare to Moriyama's) on my pic grabs the viewer's attention and prevents analyzing the impact of the light, in addition to the wall's limited "real estate" to record the complete fading of light on the walls.

I agree Mike, the dark version looks more appropriate.

I like you shot. The bold fine interior in soft fuzzy frame. My version of crop would be:

Thank you Mike. So something like this? :

Thank you Sam.

Yes, this is what we have imagination for. (pardon my grammar)

I agree that the "shaft of light" is more appropriate. The sky was overexposed intentionally to mimic the bright light. Just wonder if somebody else may get impression of flow of light through window-like frame.

Thank you David. Just wonder if somebody else may get impression of flow of light through window-like frame.

Thank you Tom. I agree that wire could be safely removed. I have a hard time to frame the narrow gated pass between buildings to create impression of flow of light through window-like frame. Nothing fancy.

Yes Michael, it is rather abstract image in attempt to "modify" perception.

Thank you Ludmilla. It could be one of scenarios.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I like this photo. I see the zebra fence as warning sign - do not trespass, something like area 51. The stems on foreground are dead/dried from something mystical/harmful that is behind this fence. Pavel.

Thank you David.

Thank you Ricochetrider. I think it's not so important, in this instance, to match the thought to man's face as long as I see the strong emotion.
