This is a great capture, it's like a little civilized tea break in the middle of the street!

I'm not sure the perspective helps this. I love cafe shots, something about people taking time out, but the angle you have taken this from blocks the rest of the cafe from view. It does make the focus about the two men, but I don't see too much in them that interests me.

A lot of them seem to be looking at the same thing off to the left of the image, makes me wonder what's over there that's so interesting!

He reminds me of John Cleese! I came across a very similar scene near some waterfalls as well once, a guy setting up a medium format on a large tripod, took him ages. Must be something about waterfalls.

The sculpture would have made an interesting shot on it's own, but here you have the girl, looking like she is about to mimic it's stance. Great timing to capture this!

I do this, though usually only if I'm sitting still in traffic, and it never produces anything as interesting as this! My advice would be to put the camera down and move back to the correct (left) side of the road! :)

Originally posted by Lutchenko: this is a brilliant capture please tell me you didn't stage any of this.

Nope, not staged at all, I was just waiting to cross the road when I looked up and saw the girl in red and the car. I took a whole series in the short time I was standing there hoping one of them would come out good, this was the best one.

When I looked at the thumbnail of this I thought it was a partial desat because of the strong blue and strong red against the other muted colours and was already predisposed to not liking it. When I opened the shot I realised it wasn't and that those colours actually made the subjects stand out from the photo and make the shot really interesting.

I love the looks being exchanged here, it's one of those photos where it would be great to ask each of the people in it what they were thinking that caused that expression.

They very much do appear to be floating by, which in a still is pretty clever!

The two of them are completely out of place. Everything else is just an ordinary every day street scene but those two just look like they have been pulled from a completely different scene and placed right there on the street unexpectedly.

There's something you don't see a whole lot these days! This is a very in your face shot, I think as a B&W it does well, though as a colour it felt very "concert snapshot" if you see what I mean. Good conversion, makes it really intersting.
