    I like this very much Rainbow,
    I like the look on the photographer's face "Don't make any eye contact". I know the feeling of feeling pressured to give money and I like the fact that it's all happening during a Union strike rally.

    Very nicely done (glad you tried the make every shot count project).

    Well done. Your shooting angle was very good.

    I don't normally like these types of shots, but the photog's whole demeanour works for the context. It feels like I've been there, I just would be doing it with a branded camera strap!

    Thank you very much. The union activity attracted me to the corner (I will post a shot of them later). I took advantage (as did the panhandler) of the picketers detouring the peds toward that side.

    Thanks. I'm glad you liked the shooting angle BECAUSE I had to plan it much more than usual with the limitations of the "Make every shot count" exercise.

    Thanks. I was fortunate because the passerby would be the subject of the photograph and I was fortunate to get the photographer in the right place/time.
