 Taken in Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto's city hall square. I happened to notice the father holding and feeding his little daughter while talking on his cell phone. In a few minutes, he put away his cell phone and this scene is what I then saw and shot. I shot a few more pictures of the man and child. He noticed me shooting them, and I went over and showed him the shot I'd just taken. He seemed happy with it. Shot in JPEG and edited in PS CS 2. I cropped a very little, did some cloning out in the foreground (a bit of a gull, plus cigarette butts, etc.), and did a bit of selective lightening with curves to make the shadow across the man's face less obvious. A bit of local contrast sharpening (USM at 20, 50, 3) and, after resizing, a bit of Smart Sharpen.

Sweet shot, but feels a bit tight in the crop

If you woulda moved a couple of steps to your right you would have missed the ugly fence. You also would have gotten more of dads face but maybe not so much of babies...

Good candid but difficult angle for the viewer.
