Seriously 100th??? Man, I remembered this from earlier but couldn't remember who took it. I think it's just so so good.

Hope to grab a coffee in two weeks.

This is a strong shot with perfect timing, and the expression finishes the deal.

I remember seeing this in a side challenge, really liked it. The timing, and in particular, the unwitting look of the girl, almost like she doesn't see what she's walking into.

Great capture, very striking!

Hmm...the king reaching for a kid. I agree with your message. 10

This is my favorite of the bunch, even if my interpretation is wrong.

This is a positively wonderful street candid. your timing was drop-dead perfect. Love the tones of your final image; nice choice there.

Nice street scene. Jackson looks like he was painted with a 6" paint roller. I enjoy this one.

Regardless of whether this was spontaneous or timed, it's beautifully composed and I like the B&W conversion as IMNSHO it adds to the aura of the scene.....8

i like how he appears to almost be reaching out to her, and she's completely unaware. on the same token, it makes it a little creepy ;)

An invitation to dance with The King Of Pop! :) It holds my interest very well. Nicely done.

Incredible how the painting seems to be reaching out to the kid. Awesome moment, great composition and processing.

Very cool street scene, good eye (as usual).
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2010 10:33:25 AM
Nicely timed. Funny..most pics Im looking for eye contact but in this one having the girl look up to the painted man would have been nice. Its a candid shot and as such I like it very much

I like the positioning in this one... looks like MJ is trying to hold her hand (which I am sure can be misconstrued by some).
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Compositionally it's great...I love the contact the viewer has with the photo... I know who the New Yorker responsible for this lovely work is...

Great capture of an everyday street scene moment and a moment in time. This is a great photojournalism shot. Like this young girl 'we walk' into the scene where news of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson is dead. It is a defining moment in time and one in which everyone heard the news. This little girl while strolling past the notice is going about her daily business. It is interesting that the drawn Michael J. is forever frozen in a dance move; it will always be static. The action of the girl walking (and to my free associating mind I almost thought one second that her pose bore a strong resemblance to the Moon Walk) is an action that is movement; static for the shot but not for the action in time. I can't help but look at the photo and think of 'moments in time'.

Pawdrix? That's a great one. Well spotted. Like the humour in this too.

Ah! Thrown it into a challenge, I see. This would probably give you a very good idea of what people really think. I still love the image and happy to see it here.

I'm appalled. The challenge was to enter your best of 2009 ribbon winning outtakes.
