thought this was yours...well seen!
not a bad finish, considering how un-PS'd this image is!

Thanks all, for the comments!

Gotta' love a true candid.
After getting the shot off the camera and into Photoshop, saw his eyes - it couldn't have been more perfect.

54% ranking? - eh - par for the course around these parts I guess.

If this is a candid it's pretty flipping awesome. The kid peeking out from the edge at the guy makes this so very cool.

Came back to this shot and it deserves a bump from me, nicely captured. Looks like the jokes on him.

his concern for the laughter around him makes him stop, preparing to turn and see who is following, who is watching

Hmm, that's a nice art shot. It really made me want to look at it for a while to just see everything that's going on here.

What a great street candid find! Love the expression of the man standing there waiting on the crosswalk. He has this uncomfortable 'somebody's watching me' gaze over the shoulder. And the boy in the large wall mural behind him is perfectly aligned as the 'little brother' who keeps peering/peeking/pestering over his older brothers shoulder (Boo! Can you see me, I see you! or Heyya, whatcha doing?). B&W was the best choice for this capture because the colors would have lessened the impact of the dynamics/action going on in this shot. Well done!

Pretty cool SP shot. Made me smile and that's worthy of a 9 in my books. :)
