Waiting to Cross

On our recent trip to New York City, I challenged myself to take a few candid shots. I noticed this group while waiting to cross at the lights, near Central Park. I just loved the body language, particularly of the girl with her hands on her hips!

Hi Lynn! Thanks very much hun. We’re home now, but had a great time. I’m still busy showing my Mum around town (she’s staying with us for a couple more weeks), but have managed to find a bit of time for RB!

Awesome shot, so well captured! Body language can sure say alot!
Ursula Rodgers replied

Hi Ann! Thanks so much my friend. You should read my friend grimduke1’s interpretation of this shot….lol!

(The girl with her hands on her hips) Now does she fancy herself or what?
(The older lady far left) she used to fancy herself
(The girl 2nd from left) Is pickpocketing the older lady who used to fancy herself
(The girl 3rd from left) Is not so sure her friend should be doing that.
(The guy on the right) isn’t sure if sunglasses taste nice or not
(His girlfriend, behind him) Does fancy the girl with her hands on her hips, who fancies herself.
Great image that conjures up all sorts of ideas (see above) ;)

Fab to see you too Wendi!! LOL! It was pretty muggy at times in NYC, so that could be another ‘interpretation’ :D Thanks my friend!

LOL at grimduke1’s comment!!!!!!!!
Good for you for challenging yourself Ursula! Candids can be so amazing and really tell a story of a REAL moment…...such as this one. I absolutely love this and yes….isn’t all the body language quite amazing?! Well captured you :)
Ursula Rodgers replied

Thanks hun! Grimduke’s comment had me in stitches :D I know what you mean about candids! I’d just never been interested in taking them before, but I’ve seen so many good ones since joining RB, I thought it’d be great to try it myself!
