Love it, Ben. And not to sound like Rutt , but I'd try to bring up a little detail in the backside of the adult.

Ben, great shot! In this case, the shadows work quite well for a good plot here. Cropping the left portion so that only the door is visible might create a better look. Cheers.

Ben--great capture as was already said.
I like how the little boy is looking at the man--takes a bit to find the little boy, but when you do.....I immediately thought "stranger danger" and "run"--then I saw the man is helping out a lady from the car---nothing like jumping to incorrect conclusions.

Nice one.

Good one, Ben.

I didn't see the child immediately but once I did, WOW!

I'll take another stab at it but don't think there's much detail in there

I tried that but I need the full "STOP" sign

Yeah got that same feel myself (and I know it's not true ).
Here's the truth:
Car pulls up while I was chillin in the shade (camera in hand), boy jumps outa car and starts looking for
an escape route. Adult gets out and while helping Grandma Yells at the boy, "STOP ............", boy turns I take the shot.
I wanted to say he yelled, "STOP PICO"!! but that would be stretching the truth

Thanks Streeters

Interesting shot from a storytelling perspective. The thing I find odd about it, though, is purely technical: the perspective is sort of weird. Pico Blvd. is a wide street, and the tree visible on the right is actually on the far side of it in front of the building numbered 8850. Yet here the tree and that building seem awfully close. I'd say this is actually a telephoto shot (or a tight crop) from down the block, and you were probably standing in the middle of the street. Am I right?

Another view of this intersection can be found here:

Big time Crop shot from the seat of my bike parked behind car with an S90

I really like this shot and the crop you used on it.

Funny about some reactions in noticing the boy later as I saw him first thing -- probably because my attention was drawn to the light part of the frame first. I studied his expression before being drawn to the man.

Thanks much
I think those differences when viewing images is a really good thing.
