Photo Today - Coffee on the Run

I liked the way the scaffolding separated the two sides of the sidewalk here.  I held the camera high and let the people come to me.  

This shot caught a number of things.  I thought about turning it to black and white, but I liked the pop of the girl's yellow scarf.  I lightened the red jacket behind the coffee drinkers head as I found it distracting. 

I got three shots of the man, only vaguely realizing he was drinking coffee.  This was the decisive moment in the series.  Also, the poster behind - "Skyfall" - will date the scene, although it is a generic term which could have been the title of this photo.  In fact, though, we will know that it is the current James Bond film.
