Wonder how many shots they went through to get this, was it pure chance?

I'm concerned about that "pretty ladies" sign, but I seriously like this photo. So much meaning to it.

I thought the effect was that it looked like a headless body, and then I saw the bird. The head blends.

These photographers are very much on the ball to be able to see a potential shot, really alert, quite impressive.

Took me a minute. He has a bird on his neck. And he's passing fake gray birds.

BS. People who like animals r statistically more empathetic than those who don't. So it's more likely he made a donation to the beggar too.

This one reminded me of what a friend once told me. She lives near a place famous for cosmetic surgery clinics, and every day she takes the subway to school, passing by a huge cosmetic surgery advertisement placed along the stairs at the entrance to the subway station. But someday, she cought a cold, and it is common here (in Korea) to wear masks when you're sick. It's also common to wear masks while your face is still recovering from a fresh surgery. She said she felt a bit uncomfortable and judged.
