The pose is perfect. He seems as burdened as the metal men are, but he is clearly shifting his weight, moving, escaping "The Line", becoming the missing link by escaping. I wonder if this is selective desaturation or he just happened to be the only colorful thing in the picture. I'd be interested to see it in black and white. Would the subtler image be more powerful or lose its power? I tend to believe the former, but I could be wrong. Regardless, an intriguing image and one of a handful of truly creative interpretations of the challenge.
I don't get the connection but I like the picture. Is this a pictue of the same guys who finished high up in a Where's waldo challenge from a few years ago?
Nice photo, however the man in the background is more hindering than helping the image. Great crop and it feels like the beginning of a nice story too.
I would be cool if your guy had a hat on and darker pants. Seams to be a mid day lighting?? Maybe a cloudy day or a early morning/dusk would have provided a better lighting situation.
