A shame about the chopped off legs.

Don't mind the chopped off legs too much; this is spur of the moment street, presumably. The expression on the face of the lad to the right, however, really makes this shot, IMHO!

Thanks. You would not normally go to that street now, not exactly no-go but I;d want someone watching my back.

I like it. Is that lad in the centre lighting up?

 

[Richard]

Anything's possible but I think it's sweets. Can they still get those pretend sweet cigs? Probably not.

That's a really good image. It just works. Like Magritte, if you start analysing, you miss the point.

That is so true. Making an image "work" when it is there for a small part of a second is the trick. Someone famous likened it to hunting. Mind you he said that in the days when hunting was acceptable.
