Photographer's Note
My take on the traditional tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Here Little Red Riding Hood is a boy and the wolf a she-wolf (notice the fur sleeves).Good morning Miss Wolf, what big eyes you have!

Hello Bev,
This is Glint at her very best! What a beautiful coincidence and what luck that you were there to see it, and to snap it at the right moment. The connection between the little red boy and the she-wolf is fabulous. She looks us straight into our eyes as she drags the boy away.
No doubt this is a favourite.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Bev,
Well, there's many an innocent young man who wouldn't object to being carried off deep into the forest by a wolf like that!
Very well observed and shot - this really is a "Decisive Moment"! Considering that you had little time to take this, the composition, exposure, colours, contrasts and sharpness are all spot-on.
Bravo!
Kind Regards,
John.
P.S. I can't think about Red Riding Hood without mentally quoting Roald Dahl's amazing "Revolting Rhyme" on the subect! We used to read this one (as well as his other remakes of nursery rhymes) over and over again when our girls were young - they loved them as did we!

Hi Bev,
Great street scene! Big mama taking the boy home or to school? Image of great imagination, clever eye!

Absolutely brilliant timing, and I love the title & the note. Talk about being in the right place at the right time AND having the presence of mind to see the photo opportunity.

Hello Bev
Great street photography. The type of image I look for and try to capture myself in Granada in winter. I like the colour contrast between the boys clothes and the rest of the image.
Best wishes

He sure got a lot to chew on! :-)
TE needs more shots like that, that renew the idea of photography catching life, with some wit and humour, not adding on the stack of postcards.

Hello Bev,
This is a very clever and well timed shot. I love the way that the she-wolf is apparantly dragging the Hoodie along. His expression looks rather nervous!
A great piece of street photography.
Best wishes, Ann

Hi Bev.
Wow. what a piece of good timing. Stunning, it is, and not without other photographic qualities in the form of a good crop and the depth achieved by looking down the lane on the left. One is almost convinced by this that the woman will stride out of the photo with the boy in the red top. Some kind of 'classic' for TE, I think. And what a title! He's got the trainers; where's his plasma TV?
Regards,
Andrew

Hello,
Shotting just at the right time so that we think the man is with the giant woman. Very good realisation, it is catching the look.

Hi Bev
Absolutely love this and the title, a very intriguing inspirational shot, but I like the thought behind it. I love the combination of two strong elements; his obvious delight and interactions which really draw the eyes in and the poster amazingly both perfectly at the right spot and well spaced out. But there is a 'touch' and a link between these two which helps tie the image together as both demand equal attentions.
My attention being split into three departments, the boy, the poster and its reflection. This picture is like a puzzle to determine what is real, what side of the glass it is, or reflection but it is straight from your view finder. I still cant really figure out, the poster doesnt seems to reflect the reality on the glass reflection, this certainly gets the brain cells clicks as it has that sense of illusion and confusion with reality at the same time. Attractive strides entering the frame perfectly in lined with the eyecatching poster and its reflection. The colours compliment each other and timely shot with great finishing touch. A stupendous moment captured with so much feeling! All I can say is this is brilliant photography, fantastically and creatively thought out. My Compliments.
Best regards

Hi Bev,
I was quite certain that the thumbprint pictured a young mother, dragging her child along. What a surprise to see the "full" picture. This is indeed a photo that was taken at exactly the right moment, did you stand here waiting for this "magic moment" to arrive. You were very lucky to catch this very good picture. This is a real favourite!
Kind regards

Hi Bev
Your street photography is fantastic, very cleverly composed and imaginative. Even in miniature this was a striking photo, and upon enlarging it, it blew me away. Talk about synchronicity. Fantastic colours, sharpness and sharpness.
Have a lovely day and TFS

Hi Bev,
So well anticipated and well realized. Just clever. Tilted vertical lines may be a turn-off for me sometime, but don't bother me at all in this context. The position of the boy is optimal; perhaps have you taken a few shots and selected that one.
Regards,
Claude

Hello Bev,
You have a lightning quick draw, in the manner of the gunfighters in the Old West. Your timing was perfect in capturing the young man, seemingly led astray by the gigantic vixen.
Warm regards,
