the pic is done by the man in the corner. he looks at the woman as we do, and give something more at our surprise for the dimension of that cigarette.... and i love to the supreme indifference of the woman.

 

an other excellent street; in this kind of shots the rule is f8, 40/50mm (or 24/35 in digital) focus on infinity ang go on.

And here you arrived to obtaine a pic technically good and, must of all, a perfect composition for a not banal moment of life

Does it work because of that man ?! Aren't we not too much conditioned ?! I think so. 'Every thing already has been shot', the to days credo. Mothers call the birth of her babies a miracle, and it is. Every baby is unique different and unique the same. The same are healthy shot and some of my most 'beloved' ones even are unsharp.

'Look', my father said, while pointing the ear of a baby. "Look", more words weren't needed. His eldest son of ten, me, completely understood what he did express and why. He pointed a miracle of beauty. He was a fabulous drawer and got soon an earning sculptor. Haha, for me shooting simply is going faster. Ears are not done these days, and babies hardly. Words are needed, many words, talking heads so to say.  

The man simply was lucky I couldn't crop his head. He is just a coincidence, a funny one, no more. I did read a good advice: 'Shoot what YOU like and NOT what you think OTHERS will like'. Do cover the head of that man. Is he really needed ?! Thanks Drew, because of your understanding you at least didn't interupt. Hero..!
