    Nice! If only the walker also wore red pants and black shoes I can imagine where the lower cropping would be. :D

    Thanks guys. Yeah, it would have been great to get some guy in red pants, but you don't see that very often around here. I had to wait long enough for the red shirt lol3.gif.

    Actually, I think the fact the guy has a red shirt instead of red pants makes it even more perfect given the two people (well, 1 person, 1 picture) are walking opposite directions as well. That's just a great shot. I really love it!

    This is instantly recognizable as a "Richard" shot (take it as a compliment, whether intended or not -- ambiguity is good...rolleyes1.gif). I was wondering how long you did have to wait...

    Thanks. You might be right about the shirt rather than the pants. I hadn't thought about it that way.

    Guilty as charged :D. I just love stuff like this and am delighted whenever it comes together. As for waiting, I never wait very long--I get bored easily--but I frequently revisit places where I have noticed a potential shot. This one was shot in a plaza almost right in front of my door. There was a photography exhibit going on for a couple weeks there and I passed through it several times a day. I had a number of shots in mind, but this was the only one that worked out.

    Really nice Richard. I think it works better that he's wearing a red shirt and not red pants. This is probably one of the best street images I've seen posted.

    Patience pays off.

    Hey, Richard, try a crop right below his hand and up the outer edge of the black band. mwink.gif

    Which hand? When I was processing the pic, I considered cropping just at the edge of his pants so that you would see two halves, both in red. But I decided that I didn't want to lose the echo of the position of the legs, which would happen cropping below either hand. Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm sticking with the posted version :D.
