...handshake...

Magnificent photo - fantastic situation. I know it's a matter of taste, but if I were you I would try to crop much closer to the actual situation. I can see you have a camera that creates files that can tolerate it ... :-)

Re. Lars

...thx Lars for comment... i know that i could crop photo much closer but i like the situation on the street, not just people or portraits...

A beautiful street-shot, Tom!

With best regards,

Ruud.

...thx John and Pierre...

i luv this picture, Tom; the two gents humanizing the busy little shopping street. it's so touching that i dared to make a crop; i agree with Lars that the moment is wonderful enough to deserve a closer look. please tell, anyone, if this crops loses something. thank you ;-} dp

the cropped version of this photo, as the handshake is clearly its reason d'être. Sometimes it takes a while when one has a photograph that one likes in order to get the correct perspective on what exactly excites us about the shot in the first place. Well done Tom and Donna. Best regards, Patrick.

...thx Patrick... and thank you Donna, maybe a little space ;)

Sometimes there is more than one good solution to a picture - indeed, what kind of rule would limit it to one ?
