  • It’s a piece of our street photography journey and during the selection process I considered it a rejection. My second thought was: what the heck, it’s street photography and if the framing isn’t that great remember it’s street photography. Thus I kept it.
  • When Pedro saw me taking that picture he said: This is funny, you just took an image of one of my neighbors. Seemingly his neighbor had the same idea as we had when we decided to go to Germany on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
  • A week later Pedro mentioned to his neighbor that he is on-line.
  • Another week later his neighbor had a look at this image over and over again and he really likes the moment that is captured here. Finally he asked for the high-res-image that I of course provided to him in an instant.

  1. Even though you considered this a rejection image, I still think it has something to say because it caught a moment in time. For some reason I like it too. I think perhaps because of the different expressions on all the 3 figures.
