| Lots of fun. The comments too. But the mother and daughter and Jesus hold it together. |

| Attack of the Stroller Kids. Nice real life candid. Lots of little details make this really work. |

| Like you suggest, it's a random profile of shopping society, Jesus Christ included (on that T-shirt). But there are more wheels there than one might normally expect. it reminds me of Brownian Motion in liquids. Perhaps society is a type of fluid.... makes one think. There is a bit of a vacuum in the centre though. |

It is fun to let the randomness sort itself out in my mind. You have to admit that you have something easy to attach to here: mother and daughter. This is the first thing that settles out of the chaos, and almost immediately. This photo would have been completely different in a second either way, because the intense stare of the mom makes it clear that the two are together.
The next thing I notice is the motion blur (yes and some blur blur) on the child, giving her a sense of ephemerality, which contrasts with the focus of the mom, as though she is gripping hard on sand.
Then I notice the Jesus on her shirt. The body of Jesus is superimposed on her own. Jesus' shining heart is on her stomach, his head on her chest, almost reminding me of Madonna Laktans.
Then I notice the foreground bicycle that is tangled up with mother's form. And since it's foregrounded I wonder if it's my bicycle, and I can't help comparing it with all the little bicycles in the background, the baby bicycles, part of that strange assemblage of parents and children serving as backdrop for the main drama of Earth Mother whose messianic daughter bursts into the pure light of Eternity. Or something like that. |

| Great photo! You're right, lots to look at, from that beautiful clean street/sidewalk....I just love that to the woman's shirt....never saw a shirt like that before! So many interesting kiddy forms of transportation too. |

Woah, this is busy, but a nice capture of a whole range of expressions(Is it me or do they all look somehow slightly detached from each other? I like it, its a bit unnerving but it adds to the randomness
Cool perspectve Is the floor sloping?
As ever tones and contrast just right! |
