 The Olympic Torch came to Stratford on Dec 27th! Was pretty crazy with the crowds, but I got some decent shots. Took this one, and wished I had used a lower f number to blur out the the crowd on the opposite side of the road. Oh well. I was deciding between this shot and a crop version of it just the girl and the torch. The crop really centers the girl, but it also makes the photographer and Hwy 7/8 more prominent. In the end I settled on this version, as it more or less shows what's going on. Hope it is well received by DPC, even though it is a bit busy!

I like this shot a lot. It makes me feel like I am there. Everyone is focused on their missions. The snow falling is perfect!
