Olvera Street in downtown Los Angeles on a Saturday afternoon. The two gents were on the front bench, the four beyond. Had to wait for two women to get out of the frame, then wait for one more gentleman to enter. Voila - guy in red (which of course, you can't tell he's in red in this edit) wandered through!
Goes nicely with my Nine shot. I expect it'll score just as well, too!

what a great shot Deb! you can so feel nice warm and lazy afternoon atmosphere. Now confess - did you bring seven hats with you and had the gents wear them? :)
Wow this is so much better and more challenging than just grabbing some props lying around and arranging them in predictable ways in front of permanently fixed lighting setups. Pretty soon trained monkey robots will be able to do that but there will always be a need for a human to do what you do. Of course the monkeys will still collect all of the ribbons since they make up the voting population...
Hah! Did a LOT better than you 9's. And for good reason. That one is dense and clotted, this one breathes and has flow. Great work! Finished near the top of the non-formula entries. Though you *were* beaten out by a bunch of damned cows, jejeje. Ain't they cute?
This is great, Deb, I really like this one! Good street photography. It lets me sit here and make up all sorts of stories about these guys, which is what works, for me, in street photography. Good score too, wow.
Not a member [yet...] so I can't vote. Instead I'm clicking through the images and commenting on those that make me stop and look. This is one of those images.
Love the composition with three different points of attention with an overall balance intact. The B&W processing is quite effective, too. Kudos... hope it does well.
