[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Needless to say, she barely registered.

(So, while I'm taking this photo, another photographer, with a big, big lens comes over to me and tries to tell me how to take the picture. Says I should shoot from the side, "so I can get her lovely face." So I tell him that I have more pictures than he could imagine of her lovely face, but in any case, I'm trying to get this shot through the balance of the scale. And he says "oh, well if you want to be artistic." Fellow photogs, I implore you to refrain from this kind of behavior -- no matter how big your lens may be.)

Lovely old scale ... must be quite rare.
There will always be these guys with big 'lenses' ...
Good photo.
Salil

Haha ... well, he has a point ... in the view of 'keep it simple.' Is it a photograph of the scale? Or is it a photograph of a lovely face? You might say 'it's both.' A viewer might say 'it's neither.' So whether we agree or not, Mr. Big Lens had an opinion he felt was worth sharing.
P.s. actually I think the photo is about the woman in the wheelchair to the right?

Great urban shot! T's smile dominates, but there are so many other things going on.

je me demande tu utilise un tripied ou quoi dans tes photo?
