THE MYSTERY CHILD

[FUJI]

Sometimes, a gone-wrong Street Photograph can be rescued by turning it into something creative.

This Mystery Child, was sitting in the window of the 1940 s themed Cafe, wearing a paper hat...I knew that my ...from the hip.. shot would need to be very quick.

The result isn't exactly what I expected or wanted...but a a creative study it has potential.

I love the piercing blue eyes of the colour version...and the Mystery of the mono one.

The mono version looks like an illustration for a ghost story.

Was it done with auto focus on, and the AF picked up the car rather than the child?

Exactly ! John.....

‘One of the joys of.... from the hip/on the move, Street Photography.

Fortunately,  saw the potential in this one before I deleted it.

An interesting image - I think the B&W is the stronger version.
