Incredible to see how their attitudes have changes in some seconds ! So many different styles ! Great PP again and I think I prefer the mono version even if the pictures are different.

This is great!! Awesome idea!! You should try to work with it, Luis. Two back to back shots showing so much change. Amazing! And B&W in this case is the winner. The color version says "Am I doing it right the NY way?" And the second one is "Oh, yes, I got it. Funny, but it is like that. First you put a NY expression on , and then little by little it sticks to your skin and then it becomes a face. And I am not saying this with judgment, since I was one of those. It is a way of life in the City, part of constant amusement.

@Nataly: I thought about you today. Thanks for dropping by. Honestly, I did not shoot with the intent of posting both images, I struggled with both and discovered that each said something different to me. The first would not work in BW, the second did; the first was about style, and the second went to attitude. What you say is true though: the need to get in several shots until you obtain what it is you are looking for --with street this is extremely difficult. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Nataly. Always nice to hear from you. Have a pleasant one.

I am impressed by this ease which you have realized this kind of shot of street. Your timing is excellent, and this particular meeting is not the fruit of the fate. Here, your B&W is excellent and replaces the scene in the timeless Bravo ;)
