[Dorrena Ortega]

Awesome shot, Richard! What is the woman looking at? They both look fixated on something.

[Pamela Mandeville]

Really nice catch!!

[Richard Tyson]

@Cherrill haha good spot! Yeah was originally crouching down to get the reflection of NG then thought it'd look better with some legs, quickly upgraded that to a person with umbrella, but when I saw a gap in the human traffic with just the lady in red and her makeshift rain deflector plus the pigeon I just had to go for this shot!

[Elise DeCola]

This is such an awesome shot!!

[Richard Tyson]

@dmortega I'm not sure, just walking that way! i mean there's more to look at to their left. Mind you that pigeon has probably spotted some crumbs!

[Shannon Pitton]

Wow, super composition between your two walkers and the reflections are just supurb, especially with the columns in there.

[Cherrill]

Well this isn't my usual faving material but I really like this....so here goes!
