Taken in Downtown Charleston, at the market. (See the sign? :) The guy taking the picture was concentrating on looking up the street and didn't even seem to notice that he was in my shot. :)

I took a people photography class some years ago, and the first lesson was geared toward awkward places to chop the human body. Cutting the body off at major joints almost always looks accidental rather than one's compositional intent. Chopping your subject off at the ankles makes this look more like a quick, shoot-from-the-hip snapshot than a composed image. Always be aware of everything in your viewfinder, as well as its placement.
