I couldn't resist ;p

This was taken at a subway (public transit) stop... crossing the scene is a man carrying a shopping bag... in the back, on the right, is the ladies' washroom... not sure I will tag it for my entry this week for the street photo challenge, but it seemed to have all the elements... ;p

For context, there are a couple street musicians off to the left that the lady and kid are watching... which was my main reason for stopping to take photos... i have a nice pic of them which i may or may not post later...

btw, tx so much for all the nice comments on the hats off photo... i think you saw more in it than i did :)

You absolutely need to tag this for the theme! it has them all!

I really like the movement in the background. I never seem to achieve the stillness of one subject and the movement of another. Will have to practice (and find some moving targets I guess).

@newbie tx Stacey... the movement is totally dumb luck in this case... the lighting in the underground subway sucks, and even with the ISO up to 400, shutter speed was pretty slow... mom and kid were stationary watching the buskers... the other 2 were just a-meandering along... :)

[Tracy]

wow northy! I have not seen an image with so many high qualities like this in ages. You have done an amazing job! you should tag it for sure, fav :D

[Kate Klinck]

This is fab!!! I love how the woman with the child is clear and still, everything else seems to be moving around her! Excellent!!

[ladyjane]

I really like the motion of the walkers - it makes the mom and baby seem like they're in their own little sphere of calm.

I'm going to the big city next week. Maybe I'll try some street photography then.

[Bobbyj]

love the motion of the two people, and how the mother and child waiting quietly

[John]

Nice street scene, cool sense of motion too.

[Ann Stenson]

Love this street shot.....It has so many great elements!....tag it for sure, Its brilliant!! : )

[Aleksandra]

Great street scene shot. Love that slower shutter speed in this!

[David]

Love it! The movement of the 2 figures contrasted with the stillness of the main subjects is great. Apart from which you have a good photo if you crop to leave just the woman and child!

[Livia]

Great candid shot! Cool capture of movement. 8)

[Mel]

this is fabulous!! and to get all 3 criteria in the same shot! bloody brilliant :)

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Cool shot, love the different elements :)

[Peter de Graaff]

This is terrific. Everyone else is moving

[Paula]

Love how the mother in front is looking at her child :)

[Lidac]

i like those ghost looking people.

[Bankmann]

Like the contrast between the quiet pause of mother and child and the hurried passers by...

[Disha Parekh]

This is a great street shot! I love the movements in the background and the expression on the girls face.

[beachradish]

I love the blurred people! Agree with @bankmann ... very cool juxtaposition.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I love the stillness of the lady with the buggy and the blur of the other people. Cool shot xx

[scooter]

[Kerri]

Great capture

[Colleen]

Very nice street capture, love the look in mom's eyes!

[Muse]

Nice street scene!

[Dominique]

Great shot - I wish I had the guts to do candids like this!

[davide]

you should tag it! love how the moving man messes up the sense of depth: looks like is on a different layer

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Excellent street capture, love the different components and the mono!

[Nikki]

Well done. This is a fantastic shot

[paula goff]
