Is this a street shot?

Not sure what to call this. Street or just goofy. From my Quirky Places series.

Hi Lou, I'd be more inclined to call it an informal portrait. But it's a good one. I like it.

A lot of "street" photographers ask strangers to pose. I personally don't and prefer it if people don't notice I am taking images. Street is a broad term and in a few of the books I have the image shown would be accepted as street. I wouldn't worry too much about labels because as Russ states it is a good image, a type of image that was popular about 100 years or so ago.
