Walking Around Town by lesip

Walking Around Town

Met my sister in law Carol in Old Town Frederick this afternoon to see what kind of picture I could come up with. Tried my hand at some street shots. This is actually a mural on the side of one of the building and that window sure looks real but it's not. As I set to take my shoot from across the street these two girls start walking into the picture so I wait till they are under it before I push the button. I'm so glad they walked into my shot and love that the street sign happens to be on walk. Wish I would have had the nerve to ask the four guys taking a smoke break outside the tattoo parlor if I could take their picture. They were each a piece of art.
So many good thingsabout this image--the positon of the women, the walk signal, the angel. The old graffiti is a little distracking.

Great! Baby steps, soon you will be able to just walk up and take the tattoo guys photo without asking!

I"m almost getting to the stage of asking but not yet! The mural is very clever and the girls are so clear! I think she has seen you!

Brilliant shot. I like how you caught them framed between the tree and the street post. The painting of the old man is just the perfect touch of whimsy. FAVed!

What a great street shot, Leslie and love that mural. It sure does not look like one and was done really well.

This is so fabulous! Love the mural - thought the window and the man were real - didn't notice his angel wings until I viewed it large. Perfect composition and the timing with the crossing light is great!
