Day one, b&w street photography theme.

Very good composition and ambience. I like how the children look attentively to the dancers.

@djedfre: That was one of those nice surprises, I didn't see it until I had the image on my computer, but it seemed perfect for these dancers. I am in that area often and there is another picture with the same "fresh" label, but that one was on purpose...http://pigapicha.aminus3.com/image/2008-03-23.html

@António Pires: Whoops, maybe you meant the dancing? No, it was a party celebrating the 4th anniversary of the opening of a community library in the neighborhood. I do some volunteer work at the library, so I was there.

Great shot - I really like the expressions on all their faces, especially the second dancer and the boy in the background reading a magazine.
