Photographer’s Note
I try and take a camera with me everywhere I go. On this particular day I was taking pictures of the Florida Marlins baseball team. During a slow inning I decided to use the bathroom. As I'm walking in I spot the only people in the bathroom at the time. A father and son. I just stopped dead in my tracks lifted the camera and took one candid shot.

At leasst, one of them will remain totally unreceptive to the ad posters hanged above the urinals... ;-)
Fun shot, indeed! In my opinion, the frame you added is utterly useless: too big, too ornate, too much... everything! Personally, I always favor the authenticity and the impact of a shot rather than indulging in an incongruous envy of a real photo gallery... But, please, don't take me wrong here. This criticism is not aimed at you nor your shot, only to this posting...
Welcome to TE, German. More to come, I hope... ;-)

Good shot, the positioning of the man and child is good as well. You are brave to be taking photos in the toilets :)

Nice funny shot, well done. I like your courage (I'm not sure if I would dare to take pictures in the bathroom - I'm really glad you did, though).
Welcome and thanks for sharing
Take care,
B

What a fun shot - one without any doubt I couldn't take... and you even had the time to frame your shot by to make a nice well composed pic.

Very nice! A nice -darefull- entrance to TE. Only the wet spots on the back of the tall guy makes me wonder....

German. (slightly amused, yet "put out" mother tone here:) Someone asked for a female opinion on this subject. I laughed and I shook my head "no" at you at the same time. As I tell my kids, everybody does it. Just, you know, usually in private in our part of the world. ;o) I don't know; it does kind of show something about the world that some people might never see. The question is, did we really want to know?
