Lost in the swift-to-vote channel, instead of exploring this lovely "eddy". (zat how you spell that?) I'd given you an 8. So far this is the most lowly scoring of my 8s and above, pity.
Love how the shallow depth of field makes this background blend so well. Easy to imagine it as history of your foreground subjects. The partial desat only adds to the impression. I expect this will be highly under-rated as a cursory glance reveals little. I even like the blown highlights of the paraders because of how it mirrors that in the historic background.
Very nice idea. I think it would be better if the men were in focus instead of the background. It's being BW sets it apart enough so that it's being in focu isn't required to draw attention.
I had to do a double take to notice what is in these scene. A really unique street photography capture. The present is represented by the men in uniform in the forground, while in the background we see B&W imagery of an age long past with people from 30's or 40's seemingly staring out at the present day scene. The past lies behind the men pictured in our present of the here and now.
