The Runner

The late summer sunlight on the Portland City skyline is beautiful. The runner is laboring on a warm day. I wanted to capture a sense of movement by placing the diagonal of the bush just in front of the runner. There is the impression of resistance. I also wanted a sense of deep space by placing the runner in the foreground against the distant city skyline.
