It was such a transient situation I felt lucky to have captured that moment.
I understand what you're saying about shooting more - I guess I'm sensitive
about being TOO invasive. I was up close and personal while I was taking the
picture and I'm very aware of not wanting to spoil their moment to get my
picture. I think this is something I need to work on.

Thank you for your thoughts. I'm learning a lot.
