'He's Got a Swollen Head'**+ *

This 'trio' tends to work together, and the finger on the lady at

left, seens to add a point (though what point, I can't be sure, for

this 'street' capture in the Paris Metro. Your ratings and

critiques are invited and most welcome. If you rate harshly or very

critically (or just laugh or snicker), please submit a helpful and

critical comment. Please share your superior knowledge to help

improve my photography. Thanks! Enjoy! John

very funny shot.

I like it.

Thanks for the positive comment. I'm glad it made you laugh.

I did when I saw this scene.

Thanks also for the link to your portfolio. Was there a photo with a particular resemblance I was supposed to spot but didn't?

Thanks again.

All in all, these women allowed me three shots. I think they thought I was shooting the poster, since I had a ultra-wide angle lens on.

Each photo was different since the poster portrait had a huge forehead which called special attention to his 'brainier' aspects, since he's a 'computer' technician' -- techie -- nerdie type selling a combination of Internet, telephone and cable services, and the other photos were pretty good, but I wanted more of the women in the shot, and that meant coming in closer and cutting off more of the man's HUGE forehead, despite a 12 mm setting on my 12~24 Nikkor zoom lens.

Compromises sometimes have to be made.

This photo is surely bound for my now dormant Presentation on the subject of 'Threes' in my photography. It's large now, and surely to get larger when I have a chance to cull all my photographs and update it.

I have looked at ratings and they're all over the board.

After all, with such a photo, who but an aficionado, knows how to take it? (receive it?)

When I take such a photo, I consider it a rare find, and can't wait to post it; it's one of my finer photographs for reasons that I can explain but since each person's reaction to such a photograph is personal, I will eschew the explanation, except to say it's among my personal best 'street photos' with humor. Plus, it's got the added subject of 'threes', a personal favorite theme, not because I chose to add the theme, but because it was there for whatever reason -- that theme often seems to 'crop up' if you'll excuse an expression.

Full frame and unmanipulated.

(Anatolij Blaszewicz, I see that you 'did get it' which heartens me, since I regard your work -- and your mind -- highly.)
