Peekaboo

Reworked in mono & slight HDR touch, it's a 2011 candid street shot taken in Nelson Street in Liverpool's Chinatown.

I know it's extremely short on sharpness but to my own eye there's something a bit extra special about it.

Rightly or wrongly I've personally always shared Henri Cartier Bresson's opinion regarding street shooting and capturing the decisive moment ; he said : “Sharpness is a bourgeois concept”.

So, who am I to argue with 'The Master'?
