cool shot. you even had time or braved enough to use flash for a candid shot. :)

Abstract, This photo was shot with an S400 so 9.1mm is actually equivalent to something like 45mm which makes a bit easier in terms of distance. However I couldn't avoid fill in flash to chase away some shadows.

Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. I have to admit, this guy is a friend and on that day, we had a meeting in front of an art shop in Florence. This is exactly how I found him when I got to the meeting point and of course I couldn't resist the shot. He didn't feel anything.
Street photography is by far my favorite subject and I can assure you taht I would't have missed a shot like this even if it was a stranger.

loved everything about this shot.
Looks like he is posing for the shot though. OR you must be really brave to take a shot of a stranger at 9.1mm with flash, especially at this angle :) -Abstract

Great shot! Perspective turns this into 3 images, all interesting in their own way. - Tom
