Love this! Everything - the hand gesture, the composition, Santa in the crowd adds a wonderful touch of humor.

Didn't make this event. Wish I had.

Would it have worked without the title?

Rutt, almost went up to this guy on the street that looked like he knew what he was doing and asked him if he were you. Glad I didn't.

You're right about the title. It was a random street shot. Looking at it, I noticed that this guy that looks like Santa (but was not actually in costume) was looking past a lady that could pass for Mrs Claus (but was also not in costume) at the young lady. That's what caught my eye.

Just a little fun.

I actually did walk up to a guy in Boston Public Gardens wearing a SmugMug camera strap not long ago and asked, are you Rutt?

He had no idea who or what I was talking about.
