I think I willed this little guy to look back over his shoulder as we exited the subway

    Your eyes are feeling heavy.... you are getting tired of your camera... you have an overpowering need to make a selfless sacrifice to a photographer far far away... mwink.gif

    Beautiful. I've stalked and I've stalked waiting for this to happen when the composition worked and it never happened to me. Very nice.

    The master must have whispered in the boy's ear then. rolleyes1.gif I don't know what possessed him to glance back but I was thrilled that he did.

    Thanks Nir and Alex. I was thrilled he looked back and even more thrilled that I didn't f***up the shot when he did. :D

    Quite possibly. I took one before this. It's so noisy down there though that even with perfectly normal hearing I'd be surprised if he could pick it out of such a negative signal to noise ratio. I'll keep that ol' trick of yours up my sleeve for next time though. clap.gif

    You'd be surprised what little Corn Fields can hear thru the noise. :D
    In fact that reminds me, I have my little S90 on silent just might have to turn on shutter click on
    when in a situation like that. thumb.gif

    I work in hearing health care so I probably wouldn't be surprised. rolleyes1.gif
