Found this funny situation. The story goes like this... the girl is afraid of birds and found herself surrounded by a couple as she was having lunch. So in order to distract them, she throws them some of her fries. Of course, this gets them excited and she is forced to throw more to keep them occupied. Soon, more and more birds arrive when they sense the food and it becames mayhem... Guess what's the word on her lips (hint: it starts with S).
Image was cropped, sharpened (unsharpen mask) and resized.

I love the picture. But makes me ask a question that has been bugging me for a long time. When shooting such a picture, do I need a permission of whom I'm shooting? And if not, then is it really okay to publish it like this without their knowledge?
Thanks.
First Impression - the most important one: You mean bugger .. why didn't you help her she is obviously in trouble and you stand there taking a picture ... I hope you got a model consent ... LOL
Composition: This works for this shot ... it is truely a good crop and appreciated by others.
Subject: meets the challenge with gusto .. but I expect it would being in the top 10
Technical (Colour and light): I love naural light .. can't say it enough in this challenge.
To grow its vote?: Yeah right .. its top 10 .. I have no ideas!
Summary: Good shot for a second entry ... keep it up I expect you to ribbon soon!

do you think she was swearing? I know exactly how she feels, Great capture well done! I love the way you have captured the moment! A true candid photo 10 from me good luck!!
What I like here most is the shadow of that nearest bird: I think a b/w treatment might have helped to bring out such things more strongly - colour here doesn't serve the moment that well.
This is a moment captured that most people just don't see as a great moment here at DPC. I think your timing was perfect and the lighting was working with you. Crop/composition well done. Contrast a little high but what can I expect in bright sunlight? 8
I don't usually like comments or give them, but since candids are near and dear to my heart, I have decided to comment on every photo in this challenge.
I'm not much for full color candids myself, but that is just my own style. Very good capture on the birds. Nice clarity. Good expression captured. Overall, a good (6) photo to me. With a b/w or deep sepia tone, I would have given it a 7. But a 6 is one of my highest scores given with the entries I have seen in this challenge, so it is a good high scoring photo for me.
