    How very literal of you Richard.
    This one made me chuckle because of the title.

    Thanks.

    Hmm...nobody has said anything about the pic, just the title. Think I may have outsmarted myself this time. Lesson learned.

    I don't comment often, however I want to help out as well.

    Love the title like the rest.

    As for the pic, I would try a bit of crop from the left side to lose the dark shadowed tree. This will come down just between the man and woman whose face we see and bring the eye to the police officer sooner.

    I like this picture, Richard. Love how no one seems to notice the horse and policeman at all. I wouldn't crop it.

    The title is perfect - but you did discover the problem with using clever titles!! It happens to me from time to time. I think of a clever title that communicates what I like about a photo. Kind of like sharing a good joke! But then I remember that I am no good at telling jokes, and I think of BD's admonition that a street photo should speak for itself, and I resist!! For this forum at least.

    Thanks for the smiles.

    Excellent photo (and I like how the appropos title brings a chuckle...). Seeing the two faces on the left balances out the scene, BUT what is truly amusing is that the horses tail looks like the back of someone's head (or their heads look like horses tails?).

    Thanks. Most people have learned to focus their attention on the ground when the mounted police are around. mwink.gif I'm sticking with the crop.

    Thanks rainbow. Glad you picked up on that--it was one of the details that appealed to me in the first place.

    I guess that make's look like somebody's ponytail. Yuk yuk yuk...

    I like this composition very much Richard, the two to the left are a nice balance for the mounted police and emphasizes the difference in directions. Great catch and clever title.
