Ha ha ha I LOVE the title Brian!!! What an excellent shot, and I didn't even recognise it as one of yours! My first thought when I saw it was 'They can't use old photos in a contest!), which just shows how authentic it looks!!! LOL

A very good entryinto the contest. This photograph shows very different times when it was safe to leave a baby outside while Mum went into the shop, knowing that these men on the bench would look out for the child.

Comment from Maureen Woychyshyn
I wonder where the parents are. These gentlemen don't want to claim this child as their own. Composition is very well thought out. Loved your use of black-and-white. Thank you for sharing.

So you say! Who knows what goes on in the sheds of that museum? Looks like that pair of men are clued into something about that babe? Nicely done!
