Mix-n-Match!

Very strong composition, Len. I especially like the striped shadows (as I'm sure everyone will) which kind of transform an already strong picture into something exceptional.

Thanks for the validation.  This was another grab shot which was really composed post exposure.  This shows me that for some shots it's important to grab the moment and fix things later.  Not to recommend that technique as a regular route to interesting shots, rather something to keep in the tool box for those times a low profile is preferred.    Best, LM.

Yeah, Len, I agree with you on that. The important thing is to net the moment when it shows its head. Once you have got it in the bag, you can try for "the perfect shot". Street shooting is a catch-it-while-you-can endeavor.

A excellent example for photographers that the camera does not mean much as far as the photographer behind the camera. The accurate exposure values and the very good experience of post processing delivered this great shot in its amazing B&W tones. Best regards

I agree with you that the importance of the camera is less than that of the photographer in most cases.  Ken Rockwell is routinely criticized here on Photo.net  for his out-of-the-box views on various photographic technical matters but he's right about this one.  http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm.  Working to get the most out of what you have is to be preferred over chasing after the latest & greatest 'Holy Grail' of equipment.  This shot speaks to the strengths of the lowly P&S, this one being only 6 megapixels.  Thanks for your thoughts.  Best, LM.

Thank you Len and I just want to draw your attention to a rich discussion here in photo.net forum about what was written by Ken Rockwell and you can read my point of view in this page and in the one after.
