    Richard,

    I know you've gotten enough complements on this photo, but I just had to add one more...great capture. Mind telling us a little about how you took it...like how long did you wait, what were you doing when you happened upon this guy...etc.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
    Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

    Never too much praise rolleyes1.gif.

    Depending on how you look at it, it was either years of waiting or about a minute's work. It was a shot I had in mind for a long time, but never got the chance until the other day. I knew the shop well--it was in my old neighborhood, and I used to pass by regularly. There were generally motorcycles and/or police cars parked in front of that window and while I had taken a fair number of shots there, nothing worked very well. But I always cast a glance there when walking down that street, and it all came together at once--no obstructions, window washing in progress. Woohoo! I literally ran a short distance to get myself into position and fired off a dozen frames or so. Fortunately, I got the timing just right on one of them. It was an added bonus that they were hyping a push-up bra, but I didn't realize how much that enhanced the interaction until I saw the shot on my computer. I guess the bottom line on this one is luck and persistence.

    I was out of the photography world for a while, always against my will, but came back and this is the first picture I see.
    Great composition, one picture, a million words.
    Thanks Richard.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    For me, this is the best street shot I've seen since joining the forum. There aren't too many shots I see where I think 'I wish that were mine' but this would be top of that list!

    Wow, high praise indeed, Dave. I think it's going to be a hard act for me to follow mwink.gif.

    Many thanks again to all for taking the time to comment. thumb.gif
