BLISS...

    Walking in the midtown, i saw this gent taking in the 1ST gental snow
    fall of winter like it was the radiant morning sun.
    Pulled out my camera and QUICKLY shot away.
    Out of focus , but still a nice slice of street life.

    NYC,NY

      Sometimes out-of-focus is better than sharp.
      This should be a postcard. Love the carefree pose.

      i think i must have perused every single photostream that has favorited this shot -- could've sworn i've seen this picture in more places than 15!!!!

      still one of the best shots of all time on flickr, imo

    18. velco (71 months ago | reply)

      i think the focus IS a lot better on the snow flakes as it is.

      There are strange people around:-)

      The softness of the image reminds me of the soft touch of snow. I think a 'mistake' has enhanced this photo very much.

      I like how the snow is in focus instead of the person. Nice mood.
