I saw the two ladies sat on the bench as i was taking another shot, i initially dismissed the pair as nothing much was happening. As i started to walk off i saw them both look at their watches and in a flash of panic i managed to get 4 shots off.
The chopped off feet was the reason i nearly didn't enter this shot as i thought i would lose a lot of marks, thankfully the voters have been kind and the image has stayed above 7 all week.
I normally hit the update button a lot for all my entries but due to my score being well above my PB i have become a complete addict, so as soon as this is over i am going into rehab.

Just been looking this shot again due to the pending street photography challenge. I find this really inspirational in defining that 'decisive moment' that is so important in street photography.
Congratulations on the red. Wonderful candid capture and I love the synchronicity. I don't think I noticed the chopped off feet till you mentioned it because the faces and hands (and handbags) keep my attention.
I'm glad I advised you to go with this one! You have smashed your PB, well done. I expect this to be hanging around on your front page for a considerable time.
I love the shot... and laughed at your comments. Thanks for both. Congrats on your ribbon. Hope rehab works for you. Never has for me... *click* *click* *click*
AWESOME job dude what a blast into a new PB with a red! congratulations man, look at that voting distribution, only 6 votes under 5, who the heck gave this a ONE? hope you love this pic you'll be seeing it on your profile for a lonnnnng time :)
Congrats on the ribbon. What a special time for you then to go into rehab. Halve the problem is solved just admitting that you need help. Very glad for you that this image did well. Deserved
"Capture an interesting candid moment this week". I think you have done that perfectly. Shame about the cropped feet, and I feel a slight tilt when I look at the image like it is slightly off balance. Nice processing.
