Nice catch.

Beautiful! This one and the one of the lady sitting on a bench with her child in her lap are, in my opinion, your best ever!

Excellent.  The little girl staring directly into the lens really makes the shot.  I also like having the out-of-focus subjects in the background to provide location context.  (Although I would be inclined to clone out the solitary figure at the extreme left of the frame.)

Thanks all. I like both of those pictures, Frans, but I like this one even better. This kid is old enough to be experiencing the world for the first time, and he just found something that really grabs him. And Chris, I'm not going to crop anything unless I absolutely have to, It happens occasionally, but not here. The place, by the way, is St. George street in St. Augustine, one of my all-time favorite places to shoot. I'm afraid that at 92 I may not get back there again.

The kid's expression is priceless.

Good catch!
