 I realized a while ago that I will never be the street photographer that melethia or jagar are, nor the blur beast of a spurgeon, so I decided to do what I like best and create a moody portrait. One day I'll be as good as my teammate paulbtlw.

Taken at a fundraiser for sante d'or, the kitty rescue where I volunteer.

Anita: no smart blur, or blur of any type or intelligence, was used in the processing. The graphic quality of the background subjects occurred by accident, when I converted to monochrome.

Good shot, great atmosphere but without a little more context to tell us what's going on it does come across as a posed shot rather than candid.
