Nothing fancy tonight. Just a snap captured , while awaiting the green light in Downtown Philadelphia last week-end.

At first, my attention was caught by the lady passing in front of our bus. Following her with my camera I finally took a shot when she was far enough, without noting the expressions of the family waiting at the corner. I kind of like the expressions of everybody here including the grace of the mistress and her tall Dane. Note I was lucky , since our bus did not have any window, and we were stopped. I had the front row seat as well.

Have a great Day!
Robert

The title on the frame inspired by the 200th post of Annie ( Beger ). Thanks Annie !

ciao Robert..
interesting moment of daily life.. scene is also a little bit funny.. nice to look at every expression! many thanks
ciao Marco

Hi Robert,
Very nice candid. The eyes of everyone to the dog is a great catch in this shot. The dog itself is nice, given its size. What are those red balls she is carrying? They match the red leash, add a nice touch of color to the scene.

Hi Robert,

This is an amusing shot. The dog is just being himself: happy-go-lucky. Looks like a friendly dog. The family, on the other hand, looks a bit apprehensive of this giant dog. I can't say that I blame them. I like the crosswalk with the lines as it helps mark our attention on the dog (not that he really needed it, but an extra bonus). I just noticed the red fire hydrant too... :) Lisa

Hi Robert,
I really like the composition here; the onlookers staring in disbelief at the big dane is really interesting as well as comical and our capture freezes it perfectly in time.
Light, color and sharpness are good here as well. Additionally the mix of lines and shapes adds a lot of food for the eye.
The picture tells the story here, indeed.
Very good job,
Thanks,
Wilt
