@Daniel: Thanks, Daniel!
@priya: Thanks, Priya! I think you can tell a lot about people by the way they walk.
Justin from Singapore, Singapore
I like this! The unseen interaction between all of the people is just great!

@Justin: Many thanks, Justin! I like your description of 'unseen interaction'. I think it fits quite well.
@alla: Thanks, Alla! So it would appear...

@Nick Passantino: Thanks, Nick! It's fun to look down from on high and watch how people arrange themselves unknowingly.
Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan
Very cool Damon. Like everyone going their own way, looking in different directions, not noticing they're part of your composition...

@Daroru: Certainly they didn't notice me. And certainly they didn't notice the composition they were making. Thanks, Daroru!
Putter from Belgium
Where are all those people going to ? Cool compo, very good one! And yes, the title is great. :)

@Putter: Thanks, Putter! They all looked busy going somewhere anyway. Looking down, it's like ants: they're so purposeful but apparently insignificant.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan
You're definitely getting the best out of that D70, Damon. Think you should purchase one! This is superb. It's like they're chess pieces or some such. I love that they're all walking and looking in different directions, it gives such a nice contrast to the lines in the concrete. Very well spotted.

@Stu: Yeah, I want my own SLR. As I keep saying: soon... I'm glad you said chess pieces. That's exactly what I was thinking too. Kind of an Alice Through the Looking Glass image. Thanks, Stu!
@Lucca: Thank you, Lucca!
Tangerine from Rolle, Switzerland

Howdy, Damon, from the Sticks of Sturgeon Bay, working, as usual, I am.
Such contrast of light and shadow! The people look like manikins, as if you could manipulate them - yes - like chess pieces. I so like this unusual photo!
