The manner of the photo, too, is laissez-faire, sloppy almost: the tilt appears exaggerated, the skin tones have a cyan hue, the juxtaposition of the male's head with the shopping basket merges more than anyone would wish to intend...
all of which introduces a hurried mood, a presence of mind, heart and hand on part of the photographer. This, IMO, helps this shot tremendously. The stance toward the thing -or moment, in this case- is a marvellous poise.
You was robbed, Lesley. I can't believe that nearly 90 people rated this 5 or less, so maybe I know damn all about good photographs. Or just maybe they do. It was a terrific CANDID moment. Paul.
