You have a point DT - it is really very very difficult to take shots of strangers. This makes candid photography extremely difficult. I often do not try to hide myself. I “play” very open with my camera and often happens that people “forget” about my presence after some time.
The moment you captured this man is excellent - I really see how he stopped eating and looked at you. The question in his eyes is easy to see even behind his sunglasses.

Thanks Penny. When I took this photo he stopped eating and looked at me. I quickly took the camera from my eye and pretended to be fiddling with it. I then walked around a bit and then came back and took the picture using Live View. It's hard taking candid shots of strangers! -dtallakson

I wonder if Mr. Cool knows he's living in a pool of reflection.
Very interesting - lots to see. Penny Street

I like this one, DT...all those reflections playing against each other. I'm glad, too, that you didn't get him in some awkward pose of biting or chewing the food.
