one of the features/topics that come up in discussions of art and its value is "originality." "Original" was the first word that came to mind when I saw this image, because it is like no other I've seen. But what can I point to that is "original"? "Never been done!" Big bold silhouettes have been done. contre jour has been done. Maybe individual is a better word. There's something very individual and personal about this capture. foreground, middle ground and background conveyed so boldly with so little visual information, like three worlds being presented. But also, as your title suggests, a sense of time is here, not simply by conveying "speed" but by contrasting it with what is not moving, and with what is slowly setting. The railings are the prisons of each world, easily transcended by an artist such as yourself. I'm only 3 images in and I already know this is one of my favorites.
