Companion

The dog sat quietly while the boy played along. He was not the best,

certainly, but he did try to put up a decent show. Thank you for your

constructive comments on this photo.

Best regards Samrat!

Life can be hard and you have captured an emotional image ... I wonder if the interested passer by contributed to the small plate? Regards and have a great day. Bob

Thank you both for your interest in this photo. What you have written, Bob, is so very true. I wish I could have captured the boy's facial expression; it would have spoken volumes. But I chose to shoot this from a distance to capture the flavour of the situation and to get a more 'natural' shot.

And no, no coin was dropped by either of the girls...

Samrat, a touching street shot. Did the photographer drop coins for the hapless boy?

I admit I did not. Maybe I should have. But I've done this before and I have this feeling that I am "paying" the person to get the photos I want. I find it difficult to dissociate these things.
