    Re: While Waiting For Santa

    Run Santa Run the mob is here for you! That is quite a confrontational looking crowd of people you have there Tuna. Yeouch! This is grabbing suburbia by the ears and rolling it over to show the soft belly. As usual, I like this for what it says.

    Although this looks crowded and too busy at first glance there are a few layers to this I spot immediately which really help the interest. The obvious playful boys in the center of the knot in focus, playing in line the giddy nervousness of Christmas' encroachment. But the faces of the adults are what really tell the tale here. Watch out for the man with the child on his shoulders, he looks absolutely murderous.

    Nice work.

    Re: While Waiting For Santa

    The adults look really p****d over having to wait their turn while the kids are having a whale of a time having got to the front first. Not Christmassy at all but really a "people watching and body language shot" . The sharpness in focus decreases nice and evenly as we examine from front to back.
    An eye for every subject Tuna.

    LOL. For me the bigger boy looks like he's threatening the smaller for his spot in line! I think this is a great shot! Full of detail over how just un-christmasy it be out there!

    Great shot, I love the expression on their faces. It has a lot of story to tell. Great job, keep it up!
