About the Image(s)
I took this pair in Amsterdam's leidseplein, using a pair of Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphones. I love the feeling of movement captured in shadow and silhouette.

Yes you have caught the movement well and stereo separates the figure from the very dark background. I find the colour of the light to be distracting but that nevertheless is your title   Posted: 01/09/2022 16:37:13

You are correct! I uploaded the wrong file. I've posted the correct one below.   Posted: 01/28/2022 13:33:15

Yes, it's exactly what you called it. Too bad that the only part of the silhouette that is in focus is the foot, but as you say it shows action.   Posted: 01/10/2022 12:47:04

Interesting view. I wish it had a little more focus.

I like this image because it works in stereo and it has a "moodiness" to it. The purplish lights add a sheen to the scene which is nice. Looking at it without stereo, the image has no impact and the people are one long black shape...stereo tends to separate the people from each other. And the foreground action-person that is ghostly is nicely anchored by the in-focus foot.
My only suggestion would be to tone down the brightness in the upper left corner which is more white compared to the purple and blue lighted areas.   Posted: 01/28/2022 12:26:24

For me personally, I like including the group of people on the left (gives more interest and depth) and the top glassed area that gives off the blue and purple hues. To me, the blue/purple glass area balances the heavy dark area in the middle.
I was slightly distracted by the small white area (upper left corner) that isn't part of the restaurant/bar and I thought if that was toned down, the group wouldn't have to be cropped out. But that's the beauty of art...different perspectives.   Posted: 01/28/2022 14:06:48
