David Knox is our featured photographer on the DPNow Picture of the Day and we have another example of his work in Colombia.
Last time from David we had a charming black and white portrait of a young Colombian girl, from Raquira, Boyaca. , is most charming. This time, in a night time colour image, David has used a half second shutter speed to capture the moving flame being waved by what he describes as city street clowns. The traces of the flames contrast sharply with the blue tone of the lighting in the shops on the street in the background. Nothing, apart from some detail in the flames, is sharp in this picture, but it's dynamic and powerful.You can see more images of Colombian people in David's gallery here on DPNow.
