Several people have said that because there are two cell phone users in the shot, it's better for them. To me it's overkill, and 'rubbing it in'. I would have either one phone user, or twenty, not two - but that's just me and you have presented your pic and it is fabulous anyway - really excellent (as usual dammit). People talk of cliches but to be honest I try and look past that. Most of Henri Cartier-Bresson's work could be pigeon-holed as cliched, but then again I suppose he more or less invented the visual pun. I love his work, and I love the cliches if they must be called that. I love shooting them (when I get the chance). It's all about anticipating the situation and being prepared to capture the moment that suits the photographer. I enjoy the whole process. Any chance I could see one of the several pics you took of just the guy alone? :-) Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
