New York: Fifth Avenue and 50th Street
Inspiration: Sometimes I really think about how I want to compose and take a photograph. At other times, I just snap away without thought. This photo falls into the latter category. But I like it. Just a shot of a guy in the middle of it all, so to speak.
Definitely thick in the action :)

it's amazing how well human eyes pick out good composition (and other photographic rules) without trying or training.

Hi Stuffed Eskimo! It's been a while. Thank you . . . but I guess you are right . . . humans like to see photos a certain way, so it makes sense that we pick those compositions more naturally than we think - and then try to make rules from them.

Nice...he looks so content and self-confident. Nice timing.

This is a great candid, especially with the blurred focus of the car about to pass in front of the cop. And I agree. More often than not, I find myself more pleased with my spontaneous shots.
