    You always manage to get the best timing for your shots Lee! This picture is great:) I think it’d look great even in black and white.

      Thanks! I waited for this one. She was on her phone, but I was hoping she’d look up up. And fortunately no one was passing when she did.

      Yes, I thought about black and white, but wth no distracting or bright colors, I preferred this version in the end.

      Cheers! Yeah, she couldn’t have posed better if I’d asked her. Pity it doesn’t always work out that way!

    There is a real feeling of being caught in her stance and look. Someone should fill the full stop with a Watchmen style smiley 🙂
    You have a talent for capturing moments like this, and, fortunately for us, making them available for us to enjoy.

      Thanks! I saw the potential for this one, and stood there waiting, hoping she’d look up. She must have sensed me there ‘cos in no time at all, she did just that. Lovely when things work out like that.

      You are very welcome. It’s genuinely fulfilling to know that other people get something out of photos I’ve enjoyed taking.

    So meta…

    She’s watching. You’re watching. We’re watching. So is your camera, and probably her phone is too. What’re we all watching? The shuttered doors don’t tell us. But this is what we do now on the Internet: we watch.

    For some reason, the Katakana supertitle cracks me up.

      Yes, everyone, watching everyone else, watch absolutely everything.

      I like the bit near the bottom where the letters don’t line up perfectly. Almost like a glitch in the system.
