Touchy, Touchy. No need to get your panties in a bunch Paul. My personal opinion of street photography is that it rarely works at a distance & without a sense of interaction. The stuff I really enjoy looking at makes you feel like you're there. This one doesn't. Technically it's a fine shot, but I feel nothing when I look at it.
Now I suck at street photography, so my opinion is probably worth jack. But I do enjoy good examples of the genre. Now have another drink on me. I'll settle the tab when next I'm over that way ;-) Cheers, Dave At 09:27 AM 16/10/2007, Paul Stenquist wrote: >That's the photographic equivealent of PC nonsense.
