You're back!

This is definitely a cool image - nice subject, selective focus, just right blur and good crop.
The walker is a good example of "the decisive moment".
David probably stationed himself in this position until he got this one (and only one) figure in that position in the frame.

I have seen David shooting at a couple of events around the Atlanta area and spent time observing him.
He is very experienced and he influenced my "hunting" for the shot and proper holding of the camera to get a sharp image.
He mostly shoots (as probably with this shot) kneeling and locking in his body parts so they are all touching which creates a stable platform.
If you ever get a chance to be around these AP photographers, spend some time just watching them.

A small American flag is seen in the rubble at the United States consulate, one day after armed men stormed
the compound and killed the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others in Benghazi, Libya on
September 12, 2012.

The gunman were protesting a little known film by an American amateur filmmaker
that angered Muslims as it was deemed insulting to the Prophet Mohammad.
