Got my attention! Guess you never know what you may find out on the street. Nice one Graham. Cheers

You caught that little boy at the exactly right moment. The jogger for me is a distraction. I would crop her.

I agree, the jogger, due to the brightness, competes with the subject and doesn't add to the overall image in my opinion. Good capture Graham. 8-)

Thanks Nightski. The jogger stays :-)
The whole image is a moment in time.

I am going to disagree with removing the runner. This work is in the same vain as Jerry Uelsman and I am not sure it should follow any defined rules. Love the tonality of the image. It will have me coming to view it over and over the next few weeks just to see if I can get a sense of what it is trying to say. Well done Graham Smith.

Thanks Bmac. I like the effect given by both the boy and jogger not being in complete contact with the ground, almost floating.

Leave the jogger as she is SO out of context. It is the little boy's fascination combined with the jogger being oblivious that makes the image, IMO.
Love it.
Love it.

After reading Captain's comment, and looking at the image again, I have changed my mind. I am seeing it in a different way now. I'm sure you'll be relieved to have my stamp of approval on your comment Captain! :-D :-D :-D

All 3 main elements belong. Surrealism rules! A superb composition in all respects.
Can you guess I really like it?

Thanks CaptainC, have no fear, the jogger stays. The jogger is important.

Well, yeah! After being called a Pompous Donkey the other day by some poor soul who disagreed with me

The little boy,s fascination, the joggers oblivion along with the pattern in their shadows against the pattern of the pavers all add to the tension in this image. I started looking for patterns and found a lot to look at. There are interesting angles in this image also. The implied diagonal of the people and that of their shadows. Though the shadows do tend to draw your eye out of the frame and not into it.

I'd definitely leave the jogger in. It might do with some cropping, lose a bit off the left and the top, and on the right, come in close to the end of the boy's shadow. Please note: I said "MIGHT," not "NEEDS."
