I had fun shooting for this challenge with my daughter. This is a graffitied underpass below a set of railroad tracks. We had taken several shots when a pedestrian approached. I told my daughter to keep jumping while she passed. The pedestrian saw the camera and hesitated -- she did not want to interrupt. I smiled and waved her by casually, and she practically sprinted to get by quickly. I barely caught her in frame. In looking through all the shots I thought the movement of the pedestrian made my daughter seem more like she was hovering then the shots of my daughter alone.
Overall, I like the graffiti background, the green boots, and how the colors and movement in the scarf echos some of the background. I like the shot -- I hope voters think it captures some of the fun of Hayashi's work.
I need to thank my daughter. It's not easy to jump so many times in big rubber boots, and some might feel self conscious jumping around the sidewalk of a busy street.

Nice background for this IMO. I like the inclusion of the passer-by. Wish there was just a bit more space between them, but it works for me anyway. A favorite.
