    Snoozing in the square

    This was taken earlier this summer in Nathan Phillip's Square, the enormous public space in front of our City Hall, here in Toronto.
    During an Annual Art Festival, I was prowling around looking for interesting subjects when I noticed an elderly man just relaxing and grabbing a nap in the warm sun.
    I liked the composition and his relaxed body language, and grabbed this shot.
    motorized Nikon F3P

    Nicely done, Robert. I like the dark tones.

    Robert, love your picture. Perhaps convert to B&W although the dark tones helps. Just a thought, if the scene was in vivid colours I do not think it would be half as good. I really like it.
    Cheers Ole

    Robert....I like the image, but cannot help wondering, that perhaps in B/W it would look more dramatic ?

    But that's me....somehow I always feel street photography is asking for B/W.......
