Thanks for comments. I will have to post worse ones, to get some witty
critique - OTOH better not ;-)

I was lucky on that one - I usually can't frame from the hip well
enough to not chop off people's heads _completely_ unlike this one.
The tramway blur was a bit intentional, as I saw it approaching and
wanted something like that, but otherwise, mostly just luck :)

BTW, does the caption show up well? I have seen some problems with the
caption to the right of photograph showing juxtaposed over the
photograph in Internet Explorer (which I don't have at home),
especially in the photo of G.W.Bush - I guess I did another mistake
with the HTML.

Well it seemed it was completely new, and he had a full shopping bag
in his other hand... But perhaps I should be more conservative with
captions - I was never good at them :-(

Good snap. My very first impression was that this man has just bought real
living lion ;-) I like blurred movement in the background.

Hi Frantisek
this is a funny pic, *somebody* gets a nice present.
It would be even better if you had been a little bit farer away when taking
the photo, but
for a snapshot it is well made.

Love the blur/movement of the tram and the other pedestrian.  Exposure
seems spot on.

I like the tight framing, cutting off the top of the subject's head. 
Crop, or is that full-frame?  Either way, I like it!

And, yeah, that's a rather odd thing to be buying that time of night,
isn't it?  A fun and thought-provoking photo.

cheers,
frank

Great shot. You may have been shooting blind, but you ended up with a nice 
composition. Good work.
