Splendid street shots, Rajan. The first one reminds me of the Martin Munkacsi shot of three boys running into the surf that so energized Cartier-Bresson.

Great pair of images, and superb timing in the first.

Thanks, Russ and Eric.

Russ, I looked up the image you referred to. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Here's what HCB said about the image:  "In 1932 I saw a photograph by Martin Munkacsi of three black children running into the sea... it is that very photograph which was for me the spark that set fire to the fireworks and made me suddenly realise that photography could reach eternity through the moment."

Which makes me urgently wish I could get back on the "street" where there are images that reach eternity through the moment.

Two perfectly times and beautiful shots.
