The public photo

Here we have a couple in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. It always amuses me when a man takes the photo of a woman in front of flowers because the background becomes the main attraction and not the person. This brings us to another type of people picture and that is the one in a public place where there really are no rules. The concept of the decisive moment applies here. You see the shot and take it. A smile at the subject and some conversation will usually make it OK and you have the shot without hassles or the feeling that you somehow stole it.
