Photographer’s Note

This is a candid shot I took while walking down Hollywood Blvd. There is such an eclectic group of people there that you are likely to see anything. I like the expression on the face of the little girl as she looks up at the punk rocker. I wish I could get rid of the other people in the picture that are distracting.

Hello Cheryl,

I don't mind the people in the middle as the eyes of the little girl also seem to focus on the blond head beside her. The punk rocker is well placed and the sunlight hitting his face create an interesting effect, almost making him stand out of the crowd. The biggest problem I see with this candid shot is the arm on the right and above the girl's head. Is very distracting. Thanks.

Roberto

Great people shot, Cheryl! I'm not sure what can be done about the arm over the little girl's head, nor am I sure you should. It sort of adds...something...to me.

I don't see anything like this in Beijing. Having lived here now two years I may be in for culture shock upon my return. Not sure I will welcome it. Great catch of American reality and individuality in California.
