The person who described this shot as "intriguing" found just the
word I
was looking for. (Thanks!)
It's a rather "Annsan" sort of shot (that's a compliment).
lol ... I guess I have to find some "Annsan" photos to see what that
means.
(Now will "Annsanian" join "Theriaultean" in the PDML vocabulary?)
Godfreakian? ]'-)

... I could go on - but this is just a terrific shot! Let's just
leave it at that.
As I responded, if I'd had the 14mm with me, I would have tried a
slightly wider view and then cropped to a square as well. But I kinda
like it just as it came out too.
BTW, Toronto's Gay Pride parade was yesterday, too. Too hot; after
waiting for about 1 1/2 hours for the parade, I decided to walk up to
Church Street (the gay ghetto, simply called "the ghetto", which was
closed off for a giant street party. Only took about 1/2 roll or 20
frames. It was so hot and humid, I don't think I was inspired enough
to shoot anything good. Hopefully got a few interesting shots...
Someday I have to make the Toronto Pride festival. Friends who have
visited Toronto and Montreal have come back with glowing reports of
what nice places they are. I haven't been to Toronto since about 1973
or so ... too long!

Godfrey, this is really a photograph that demands time to be spent
looking at it. It has quite a few elements put together very well.
Suffices to say - my initial reaction was that the highlight on the
top right wasn't necessary. Next moment I realized I might've been
wrong.
In fact, I think all pieces fit together quite nicely and the
"Smile" on the left completes it. I seem to recall the "Speech
Song" somehow...
:-)
Thanks again.
Godfrey
