I also made this image from a balcony overlooking the boardwalk. Many runners pass below it, all day and every day. I built this image within a geometric structure. The wall in the background provides a strong diagonal thrust, matching the flow of the diagonal shadow cast by a neighboring building. I waited until this runner reached the space between that shadow and the wall, so that the shadow diagonally cuts through one shoulder. Her strained expression is emphasized by the contrasting light and shadow on her face, drawing our eye to her incongruously flying blonde hair. I energize the entire image by comparing her flying elbows to the shadow on the ground that directs the eye towards her flying figure.
