    Nice, one Richard - and particularly in your use of the entire frame - from the pigeon to the figure behind the tree.

    Very nice Richard clap.gif. I like all the details myself, the look on her little face and her mom holding the doll stroller and yes, the pigeon:)

    Thanks, Liz and BD. I did notice the pigeon when shooting, but not the guy behind the tree. Or the foot walking into the frame on the right. Something like that would have bothered me a few years ago, but not so much anymore.

    This is one of my favorite "type" of street photo wherein you capture both a human interaction as the main subject and tons of "context/setting". And it is a spontaneous capture wherein you could not have predicted this shot (as opposed to many of the setting shots wherein you await the right people to happen along).

    And there are so many little details that were fortuitous, including the pigeons, the leg, and the cutting off of the guy's face with the cycle fender.

    Thanks, rainbow. I like to think of it as hunting mode versus fishing mode, and this was definitely a hunting shot.
