Thanks, Eric. This wasn't posed. They kept moving towards me and I shot a bunch of frames while crouched. This particular one happened when they hesitated just a bit as they got close to me.

Great timing!

Thanks, all.

John - I took a lot of frames until I got a couple that worked. Had to keep moving backwards on the curb as they advanced.
