@Josh: Sometimes I think I'm in Switzerland here - the lake, the embassies, the mountains, the cleanness etc - but nothing beats actual travel, Josh. Love your traveling pics.

Bronnie from Christchurch, New Zealand

Got to go to Canberra to see the world! She looks pretty grumpy about the cheeky boy! I wonder how he got the turban to stay put, GREAT shot! So far my favourite.

@Bronnie: We have all the diplomatic missions here too. Great compliment, thanks Bronnie!

What amazing colours and costumes. Must be quite a festival, Sidonie. And I just love that expression you've captured! Wonderful! Wouldn't like to cross her.

Jerry from Tampa, United States

Sidonie - a wonderful image with brilliant colors! She doesn't look cross to me, just observant....great job!

@jennifer radio: No editing - just the way it was at the time. Thanks for the visit Jennifer!

dYe from Cambridge, United States

Again, beautiful colors! I like the composition a lot too - how we can't actually see the watcher's face, and the camera is positioned just behind his head so we have the same point of view.

13 Feb 2007 7:07pm

@dYe: Yes, the POV is rich territorty for gaze theorists! Thanks for the visit, dYe.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

A dramatic scene! Well done.

Fred from Easton PA, United States

I've been away from the computer for a few days but I must say now that I'm back it's good to see more of this series without having to wait a day for the next shot .
I gotta tell you, this is a splendid shot, the colors are great , I love how you caught the expression on her face combined with the posture of the boy who seems he can't decide whether to eye ball her for a few moments more or run like hell !
Good stuff !

17 Feb 2007 11:55pm

@Fred: Well, thank you Fred! That's a terrific response!
