    Nice shot. The dog certainly took notice of you, but you bounce light grips seem to be walking out on you.... rolleyes1.gif

    Orderly, nurse, doctor? and tats and skull cap! what a combo.
    Then you have him petting his puppy and sitting by the "human rights for Tibet" sign, completely ignoring the protest behind him.

    Odd shot!
    I like it.

    Thanks, Liz - He could be any of those things. On the other hand, this was in the center of Harvard Square, where the sun never set on 1968, and he could just be wearing scrubs for the hell of it. rolleyes1.gif

    A rather interesting juxtaposition of so many different things as others have mentioned. I like the position of the steps, although I don't know about the tilt. The sign could read "Home Rule For Gozzards Ford" and be just about as relevant given all the rest of the stuff in the picture. The dog is very cute, and works especially well since its looking at you connects the viewer to the picture.

    Nice job (especially in B&W - I don't think it would work in colour - the scrubs would be too obvious…)

    Question: Did you stop to compose and take the picture, or was it a walk-by shooting? (…just curious)

    Good shot. I wonder what the dog thinks of human rights? :D Would be nicer in colour, I think.

    Actually, I do know - because I saw the original scene, and have the color image.rolleyes1.gif
    And "reality" is what we perceive it to be - some of us see it as colors, some of us see it as tonal values. Some of us see it as both, but at different times. But most of us would be hard pressed to know that a particular black and white image should be in color if we haven't a clue what the color image looks like. mwink.gif
