Thanks for the comments guys. The girls seem to be avoiding this one, like walking on the opposite side of the street from construction projects. -tv

All your entries are excellent, Tom.

So my browser coincidentally happens to be sized to cut off the name on the bottom until I scroll. So I open this shot and say to myself, "Now THAT is a shot the Tom is looking for". Then I scroll down to see the comments. I was fractionally disappointed to see that it was you that "got it" -- the rest of us need a chance to compete against your wonderful pictures. 72 hours with the FBI = 24 hours with my grandson, wears you down to a raw nerve.

The only stranger who ever gave me more than a dirty look was a NYC Policeman who threatened me with "72 hours with the FBI". It gave me a creepy feeling of what it must be like to live in a police state. Hmmm.. under Bush/Cheney, maybe we do. -tv

Another good, busy shot. There also seems to be some tension, as if the chaps in the top right didn't like being photographed! ..I wish I could take candid shots like this, I never seem to pluck up the courage to photograph strangers :(

Very nicely done Tommy, the the only point I can see is to do with the "no obvious focal point" Anyone looking into the lens becomes by default a focus point wherever they are in the shot. I do look around the shot though so maybe the word obvious doesn't apply here. Goodun mate.
