I like this one. It has a nice urban something or other feel to it that I just can't think of a word for. Well done.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah, this guy didn't really the shot coming. I rode this car several times, just trying to point my camera at the rest of the car. Got a lot of OOF shots. At last, I wnet wide and pointed it in the general direction of this guy. Lo and hehold, it got somebody. Candid photography is tough. -- Bruce

Hi Brent, This one is my favorite because of the passenger focus. Nice job, Yvonne

Nice series Bruce- like the way the images slant left and then right next to the level one in the middle. Yes, this guy in this image doesn't look to sure about you. Not so much because he doesn't want to be in the shot, but he is probably wondering why you can't hold you camera straight :-)

The wise tilt somehow is adding a nice feel to this almost bw shot. Because had the tilt been in the opposit direction, it would have looked uneasy... The presence of the guy serves the purpose of the transit, without whom the purpose of the photo would have been lost..

I'm guessing this guy didn't think he was going to be in the picture, eh? Interesting series Bruce and I do like this one best. I usually don't care for tilted pictures, but this is how I feel when I'm on something like this too so it workd for me! :-) CJ
