People who visited St. Pauls Cathedral recently might be remembering this beautiful bill board at the opposite footpath of St. Pauls...

I was there last month for two days.. two days are not enough to cover the city .. still i went to the most famous places ( still i could not go to so many places ) ...

... So i was waiting there for somebody with the same kind of bag to pass on...and ofcourse in the opposite direction... funny enough there was a bus stop at the left side.. so people are not coming to the right side from the bus stop... i observed people are going from left to right but stops at the bus stop.. and people are going from right to left till the bus stop.. so there was no right direction movement..:(..

... still i was waiting a hoping something will happen...

it seems they did not make me frustated at the end...

Hi Sandip
Interesting composition and good look! I really like the idea
and the picture is beautiful. Well done!
Best regards
Quentin

I think this photo loses some of its effectiveness by having the street visible in the right of the image. Perhaps if it was cropped out the image would be more bold, although you may lose some of the 'balance' if the crop is too tight.

Great intuition Sandip, perfect timing to capture this funny scene, beautiful shot, compliments!!
have a nice week end,
Fabio.

Hi Sandip,

I like the idea.
imho, i would frame (not cropping) it differently, maybe having the pedestrans early (eg framing more on the left) on tha large poster, this would avoid the street.
Well this a perso perception of the scene, of course.
TFS, Al.

Well seen indeed, Sandip. the parallelisme here is perfect. The nly thing I would do is punch up the contrast and colors a bit to make the whole shot more "inviting", especially as a thumbnail.
I will try a WS, ok?

Nice work,
Francis

Hello Sandip!
it is nice to see picture from overseas dor you I mean I post photos of India and you of europe !
I really like this kind of picture with a beautiful movment
But maybe I would have cut the right side to much space and that's shame for the feet!
Thanks
Laetitia

Funny shot Sandip,
Good idea,
regards,
Oscar

Excellent shot, Sandip... well worth the wait... these figures seem to parody or imitate one another at best... fantastic catch, great design. The only thing I would do with pp is to increase the contrast and perhaps decrease the lightness a touch, to make it slightly more punchy. I would do it for fun but now am in a bit of a rush...
anyhow, strong and well composed shot, all the way!

Hi Sandip - that was a nice idea and I admire your patience here - the moment was worth waiting for - my smile is for your idea as much as the execution which might have been better in some ways - perhaps a slightly tighter frame such as the one chosen for the bottom of the pic - I actually like the way you've cut off the legs the same - reminding us that this too is a picture.

Hummm.......U are a master of taking shot where there is two directional view, the early one and this one both have the same thing.
I like it very much.
