I chose this photo as an example of street photography for a few reasons. To start, it obviously caught my eye as a man in flying through the air upside down. Secondly, I think that the composition of this image is notable. The way that the photographer centered the man in the middle of the buildings draws your eye to the man, then down the streets behind him. In addition, the photographer got down below the scene and shot up. This allowed the man to appear likely much higher in the air than he is, as well as draw focus to foreground, then background. Overall this photo is really interesting to me and caught my eye right away when going through examples of street photography.
