Gérard Uféras, 'Salzburger Festspiele #1, Salzburg, Austria' (1996).


This image caught my eye because of the great capture of the moment.  The photographer make a great choice with the moment this picture was taken.  I like the great depth that the curtain shows and the way it leads the viewers eye from one side of the image to another.  
I also really like the way the figure is half wrapped within the fabric and seems to be standing rigidly while it flows over him/her.  There also seems to be another figure at the end of the fabric walking behind it or into it and that helps add some questions to the photograph beyond the obvious.  The smooth gradual tones on the fabric on the right also contrast nicely with what hard angles of the stairs and the ladders on the left.
