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.
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.

I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
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!
