Dan,

Nice job on the PP and an all around excellent capture. It reminds me of The Twilight Zone for some reason. Good job! God's best to you,

Tim

Ah yes, the morning rush hour. Nicely captured here. I like how you've blended their identity with the gray 'overcast' on their clothes. It's very reminiscent of the movie "Metropolis". TFS.

well,here we have to mutch cars on the road, and there to mutch people ;o)
i like the expresion on there faces!
very nice pp work, how you did you do it?

This is great PP work, Dan. Excellent capture of these stressed people. The only thing I would have changed is the cw tilting... Everybody seems to be hanging over to the left. (Or else they all have hang-overs ;o) ).

GREAT shot Dan. Well captured and a lot of story to tell. Congrats. PP work is okay but the original one IMHO would have been better.

I love how everyone is in such a rush and some are looking at you like "What is this guy doing?" Good modification too. Plastic Wrap?

This is terrific -- I love the PP! You've captured a sense of mindless crowds, of masses. Yet each individual had his or her own thoughts running through the mind. Great shot!

Looks like a poster really!
Join us this weekend taking shots simultaneously in different parts of the world (please see the details in my intro on TL and TE). Your pictures will be a great contribution to both projects!

Hi Dan,

The title, and the movement of the people in the crowd does indeed suggest a sort of mission; they are moving as though they were soldiers in formation. The two central characters are especially interesting, as they are engaged in the same action of the arms and legs, and at about the same time. I like this one a lot.
