Who shall pity our transience?The flight of flesh,word and dream.As a child might scribe innocence in the sand.As a man might ink his destiny.And yet all must yield to the blur of gathered tomorrows.Thus,shall we mourn with the color of stone?That fares permanence not more than our race?Shall we celebrate with a voice of every hue?That our moment has a place,recognized in the movement of more grand machinations.

The first element which impresses me is the warm harmony of red, yellow and golden colours, I don't know why, but in my imaginary perception ,China cannot have cold colours, it can be in black and white or it must be in warm colours, blood, fire, gold...Then the bicycle, a "must" of course, a necessary cliché, which is not a cliché, is reality.
It's very meanigful here to keep the bicycle totally blurred, not only to give the impression of movement, but to make it practically invisible and to concentrate the attention on the graffiti wall.
Nevertheless the two elements are interacting so strictly and one needs the other one to make the picture.

Magnificent abstraction -- the rider is barely seen, and the message is barely legible, but together, they make think, wonder, and feel.

Good capture - Perfect motion effect! The vibrant red/orange colors seem to give an "evil" feel... Ghost from hell?

He does appear to levitate but interestingly, it is the warm, rich, glowing colours that give this image its ghostly quality.

Brilliant shot.

Another fabulous shot, Kal. And I like those warm colours. v.

This is a decisive moment, the rider happen to be caught in the middle of the two graffiti. Those graffiti look like distorted human figures, making the rider one of them. At the same time, the moving figure bring those on the wall to life.. The night has been waken~
