 Say I were to even take out the bear. Perhaps drop the dancing husband and wife, one busy staring at the camera while the other, crucifix adorned, Yankee T-shirt wearing (nice NYC placement reference) checks out the bent woman's ass. Let's just say we remove the man on the hillside checking out the action like it was an arena sport. Lose the 2 guys, the funny one and his straight counterpart. Drop the oddly contorted dog in the skirt, trying to check out the action. Take the parrot off the poser's head...in fact take out the entire bizarrely clad man with the big yellow beard...and say I even delete my witty title (the one directly related to the history of photography that aptly conveys the irony in the photographer's hesitation)...and you still have a photograph of photographers that is in focus...how does this receive less than a 5? More criticism appreciated.

Fun, hilarious, improbable. I know you pull all these characters out of your head. The best one is the little gypsy skirted poodle.

Priceless! The dog, the bear, the red-caped, leapard-skinned, striped and zig-zagged whatever it is. Wonderful!

There are a lot of interesting things going on in this picture but perhaps a bit too much. Maybe if you cropped the photo a bit more to create the focus on the photographer some how it would have made more impact
