Too good an opportunity to pass up. Snapped on the tube from Heathrow.

Excellent. Was this really unstaged ??
Meg Pickard (82 months ago | reply)
Totally unstaged. Though I had to lean at a weird angle and put my camphone up to eye level to get the alignment right - luckily, no-one was paying any attention.

I always feel weird about taking pics of strangers like this but you're right. too good an opportunity to miss. Great shot.
