photo-op

Rajat, I like the crop on this. The look on the man's face is wonderful. The tone and the detail on the two figures works very well. 

Superb capture - the man's heart is pounding and he is using his hand to try and control himself. I like the tone also.

Well it is human nature, isn't it. Nice timing. Did he snap one of her also? Did you snap one of him looking at her? Nice triangle also, if that is one of your meanings.

William, he did take her photograph but unfortunately people moved across my line of vision and i was unable to capture the moment... i'm not sure what you're referring to with 'triangle'... glad to have you over!

Triangle = He was watching her and was preparing to take a photo of her, you were doing the same: he appears to be aware of you, she does not . . There were three people involved in the transactions, you included, though only two people were photographed.

"Triangle" is the premise of many good stories: the Love Triangle (in many forms); the Hero - Villain - Victim Triangle . . . etc

I often see Others' Photography through THEIR involvement (conscious or subconscious) with the subjects.

I often interact with the subjects I shoot, even strangers in the street, I will acknowledge them and they me - as here – I was at a restaurant and had a P5 IS, the man is about the same age as me – his child fell asleep – he acknowledged me looking at the scene and me smiling at him and the fact he had the “job” of holding his child whilst still eating his lunch – I understood that job as I have performed that duty also, hence when I snapped this picture: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=11248155&size=lg I was involved in a “triangle” of two Dads sharing a conversation or understanding about what we do for our kids, even though we never spoke  . . .

I just thought the man was aware of you, he was also aware of the woman and so were you . . . it was a nice "triangle story" and in my mind clearly involved you because the man was acknowledging you. . . and I assumed he took a picture of the woman also. . . so your picture was a little "mini movie" for me . . . I saw what happened next . . .  and that is one of the reasons why I like it.

Does that make sense?

ah! i see what you mean now.... he wasn't really aware of my interest... at least i don't think so... it's the deceptive proxomity resulting from the zoom - 360mm in 35mm terms...

excited :)
