Thanks Brent & Konstantin:-) The lighting was a bit tricky so I wasn't too sure whether I would get a picy with this.

Rod, you waited long but finally managed to shot an excellent candid. A classic one. And I think this shot is a good answer for the question if telephoto lenses can be used to shot candid.

Well done Rod, this is the type of shot that came to my mind when the topic was announced. Yep, better give quitting the smokes another go. We want you to have a long and healthy retirement.

Thanks Tommy:-) I wish I didn't but I'm still puffing away but being on the pension will change all that hopefully.Mind you I think it's all Mereana's fault, she's a bad influence on me:-)

Do I sense a kind of nostalgia? Or do you still puff, maybe just socially? -tv

Thanks again Christakis:-)

No Rod that is pretty obvious to tell you truth. Nicely done I really like it. - Chris

Thanks Penny & YB:-) The bloke was taking his last drag before stubbing the fag out in the bin. I spose the viewer wouldn't know that so the bin could be a problem a. I did get a shot of him putting it in the bin but I'm not sure if it works. The background had lots of shady areas so it was easy to burn in. I put the picy of him stubbing the fag out in Pending.

Something for everyone, right Rod? You did an excellent job of burning out the background crowd (at least I'm assuming that's what you did). It looks great - even the trash can. Penny Street

Rod that out of focus flying saucer, on the bottom right, spoils the pic
