    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    I'm going to be the curmudgeon.

    Ben, this doesn't seem to be anything more than a random grab of what could have been an interesting shot. I'm all for random grabs (and hope for a bit of luck) if there's no real chance to compose the shot. But the vast, vast majority of them should stay in the back catalogue.

    Fair enough, but I would counter that most of my captures are "Quick Grabs" in the sense that the moments that actract me on the street are fleeting. Had I of stopped my progress to compose more effectivly the moment shown above would of certainly been gone.

    Yes you are correct given the time/light/place/subject which allows for a more "Work It" approach then I will do that.

    I'm certainly aware that sometimes there's only a fraction of a second to get anything. I wasn't suggesting that you needed to "Work it". But rather the difference between having compositional intent when you do hit the shutter versus a spray and pray (S&P) approach. You'll know this, but part of "street" is always looking and developing a sense of when things might be coming together and preparing accordingly. It's only seconds, given, but it's still often enough time to get practiced instinct in play.

    This one feels like an S&P shot. Sometimes they work, but mostly they don't.

    And this one didn't. Culling is a necessary art.
