This picture was striking to me for its detail. Everything from the cracks in the wall to the lines in sidewalk to the chains hanging from the beams above the people is clearly visible. This great detail and contrast helps to bring you into the photo. It also has strong elements of time. It captures this singular moment in time where two people are dancing in the middle of the street. The woman's hair is caught in the action of swinging as they dance. All of these aspects of the image are instrumental in making the viewer feel like they are part of the scene.
Johan van der Keuken, 1958
