Another grabshot I made a few weeks ago on trendy Queen Street West here in Toronto.
The young woman was on her break from one of the shops, and was enjoying a coffe and ciggerette as she checked her cellphone for messages.
What attracted me was her stance, and the message on the small poster on the end of the trash receptacle.
I was using a very wide lens set to hyperfocus, so that I didn't even need to focus, or even look into the viewfinder to get the shot, hence the tilted horizon, which in retrospect, I think adds to the feel of the image.

I agree, the tilted horizon certainly adds to the drama of the scene. Nice grab.

I find the angle as well as the subject captivating. Nice grabshot. On a scanning/post processing note, I think this shot would benefit from a small boost in contrast. Also there is somewhat of a magenta cast to the whole image.
