    The first image really brought a smile to my face. Been there, done that!

    Nice set Tony but the last one is classic.

    Hi TonyW,

    Awesome Brisbane street photos.

    [btw, is this the right definition of your " wenches"?

    taken from Merriam Webster Online:
    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wench

    Full Definition of WENCH
    1
    a : a young woman : girl
    b : a female servant
    2
    : a lewd woman : prostitute
    Thanks

    Thanks, Vic. I wondered about the precise definition of the word but could not resist the alliteration. Your version 1a is what I had in mind. There are too many enthusiastic amateurs for the pros to prosper.

    John, Richard and John. Thanks for your comments.

    (I hope this message does not get corrupted. My internet connection is spasmodic at present)

    The 4th is great moment to capture - possibly debating the superiority of photography over painting

    But the 2nd which has caught the two people apparently watching the pigeon fly into the column is a great candid moment.

    On second view, yes, I agree the pigeon image looks best of the four.

    [TonyW, I asked the clarification with no malice. English is not my native language so I wanted to know what "wenches" means. Please forgive me if my mental capacity and/or understanding is insufficient/not as high as your level, but I'd like to take your comment "There are too many enthusiastic amateurs for the pros to prosper." in a positive way. Thanks. ]

    Vic, I did not see any malice in your comment. I did not mean any of my comments to be taken too seriously and hope I did not offend anyone. It is sometimes hard to convey the right impression when people cannot see the expression of my face.

    Thanks again for you comments.

    Tony, I like #1 and #2 -- I always tell my stepson that little dogs are girl magnets. And in #2 -- many a times I see this, I hurt for the bird. Woman in #4 must be telling a nice story to the other woman...All good shots.

    Thanks Izzie. I think the bird was OK - it wasn't quite like it looks here. They do very well out of table scraps.
