I like how the purposeful and direct stride of the statue contrasts with the more relaxed and meandering passersby. He marches off at a different angle, determined and alone. Great hexagonal backdrop.

Too bad there weren't long shadows present to mirror the ideal of the statue.

since the overhead b/w shot is almost becoming an underground dpc cliche, it needs a twist. Yours is this odd correlation between art and reality. I have a craving for them all to walk in the same direction. Is that DPC_burgeois of me? It is good that they all line up in a diagonal. Also, hexagons are always good.

They needed to go home, it was after lunch and the kids wanted to get back to their friends. They could walk around the square, but that would take almost ten minutes. Going across would save time, and mom could finally get started on dinner while the kids played. They would go across. "But stay close to me, keep your distance, and don't look at it as we pass. That thing has nothing to do with us, it doesn't belong here, with us, so just keep your distance." Nothing to do with us . . .

A wonderfully seen and captured scene. Separation on many levels. Delightful.

What a great find! To me, the statue seems more "of the moment" than the people do. It seems to belong there - the people do not - or at least they seem transient, which I guess they indeed are. Almost as though there's a very tenuous balance between the fixed and the fluid.
