  • Desmond Cannon

    Desmond Cannon

    That’s so wonderful. I was admiring the way you captured that guy concentrating, candidly, the clarity, the light & the perfect exposure. Is he texting a little girlfriend? Then I see the bird too & it’s 10 times better again…

  • Cathy Middleton replied

    Oh thanks Des, what a lovely comment. He was so engrossed in his texting or whatever he was doing. I was able to spend a bit of time setting up the shot without him realising – a rare treat for a city candid! The bird was just an absolute bonus :)

    sorry but I have to leave another comment. I think this is my favourite photo ever! I know this sounds weird but I am so glad I found you, your work is so inspirational and such a joy to see :) keep doing it!!

    in this photo in particular, I think it is genius, if that’s the right word, because you have the technical and ‘arty’ brilliance of the sharp lines, the lighting, composition and tones, BUT, in addition, you have captured this WONDERFUL moment in time of such a beautiful, simple, emotive and unique moment between two creatures. aaah, sooooo well done! :) take care.

  • Cathy Middleton replied

    Well you’ve absolutely made my day. This is a special image to me, and to have you love it so much means a great deal.
