Who is John Galt? This is a great shot-9
03/17/2009 07:03:23 AM
Great scene...The man's excitement with the destruction really makes this!
03/17/2009 06:26:59 AM
Great timing !
You show us different stories in a single shot. It's "refreshing" in this challenge.
my vote 7
03/17/2009 06:00:27 AM
Hahaha, great title, I'm glad you call attention to the celebratio. This is a really neat shot, so much action and emotion.
03/17/2009 01:17:15 AM
Louisville? Great shot. Unusual to have a pic of the crowd reaction rather than the falling building. Nice idea.
03/17/2009 12:09:49 AM
Haha!
03/16/2009 08:52:22 PM
Think he set off the explosion???

Nice capture.. love that the guy is cheering.
03/16/2009 05:45:25 PM
hahaha amazing, that would be me the day my workplace burns down...hehehe
03/16/2009 04:11:52 PM
Didn't make sense from the thumbnail, but now I see the guy doing the "Yessss!" motion.
03/16/2009 03:35:42 PM
excellent sharp focus front to back, and quite humorous with your title which really pulls the image together and makes it 'work'
03/16/2009 02:52:03 PM
Nice capture of the bldg and the cheering person.
03/16/2009 01:30:02 PM
he didnt work, he OWNED. but the image sure is right on with irony of collapsed capitalism. excellent capture!
03/16/2009 01:26:00 PM
Terrific photojournalism. Back to bump this up.
03/16/2009 12:06:45 PM
Wonderful human interest touch.. 7

Oh wow what timing. The action is prefect. Nice work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. This is a great journalistic shot showcasing the story of this demolition!! I like how you have included the human element. The man with his arms raised up in air ...I can almost here him whooping and hollering as he watches this impressive site. And it must have been quite and experience to behold not just for the people in the shot but the one taking the shot as well;-) The title made me chuckle for if he did work there he is most happy about it's demise:-)

What a story in 1 frame. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 05:38:56 PM
At least it is not one of the interesting old buildings in the foreground. Nice time-critical capture. Every so often, a subject in a shot gives you an unexpected bonus. Makes me smile.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:31:26 PM
like the emotion, but something seems to be missing maybe a little more photoshop would help
03/15/2009 02:37:12 PM
Nice capture

You're probably right. Nice job
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 08:36:47 AM
The people in the foreground make this shot complete. Perfect timing!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:30:43 AM
Think so too :-) Nice shot! Got the right moment...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:32:00 AM
you got the moment just right, is it a bit over sharpened though? jmo
03/15/2009 06:05:27 AM
This is very interesting and cool. An imploding building right in the middle of all the others, good capture.

Wonderful photo of this collapsing building. Nice to see the people on the foreground.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:21:10 PM
:) ! That is funny. I love it when photojournalism turns out to be beautiful photography as well. The old rich urban tones in this are wonderful!

03/13/2009 08:29:21 PM
great capture. great composition 8

03/13/2009 03:03:40 PM
Very nice shot. Love the colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 10:16:07 AM
Good action shot. I like the response from the person with his hands up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:18:55 AM
Great shot content. I love all the things working between the farthest building left and the dude just hanging at farthest right. The excited guy is an awesome balance to the vastly larger and more powerful implosion. My only nit is that the lighting overall is a bit flat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:15:13 AM
Haha, a funny and playful image while a good action capture at the same time.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 09:09:16 AM
ha He is awfully excited. :P I'm not quite sure what I think of this picture as a whole. Its interesting, but it just doesn't wow me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:24:43 AM
'Took a few seconds for the title to sink in.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 07:21:13 AM
funny
03/13/2009 03:52:35 AM
lol, the guy celebrating is funny
03/13/2009 01:05:48 AM
Yep !
03/12/2009 10:53:26 PM
lol, probably
03/12/2009 04:36:15 PM
I was so taken by the building coming down that it took a minute to recognize what the title signified. Great catch!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 02:46:14 PM
Wow. Must have been a real sight to see! I love the people engaging in the experience and the tones are great. Very natural looking and unusual picture!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:06:34 PM
Your title made me laugh - and more than that, it engaged me in the shot by making me look deeper into the shot beyond a first glance to find the person you mentioned.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 12:14:26 PM
The decisive moment! Excellent.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:14:54 AM
Great capture, the contrast between the shiny new buildings and the older, unique ones is intriguingly split by the demolition. It makes you wonder if he is rejoicing over the old or new being torn down.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 11:02:36 AM
must have been fun to watch

So I almost skip right on by and the smoke and dust catches my eye. So I stick aroudn a sec and see the guy with his arms up and I have a little giggle. Then I read your title and a full blown laugh breaks out. Well done.
