Bruce ;) , I love photos that aren't obviously staged. I think it takes a lot of hard work and GREAT timing to catch a perfect candid moment. I love something like this because how often does one see a parade of segways? lol I haven't even seen ONE in my city yet. Awesome perspective, the sky is beautiful, and I like the lighting because it adds to the sharpness and clarity of the photo.

I like this and find it better than the "snapshot" we've been discussing. The angle is what changes it from a simple snapshot. I've not seen a pack of Segways before so I found this to be quite intriguing. Sometimes it's just fun to post things that others might find interesting (we hope) - see my entry next to yours on the Suck results page for something similar. :-)

Great viewpoint and interesting subjects. Nice blue sky. Composition wise, its a bit crowded, might have been better kept more simple with just a couple of people, and not against a lamp post

Great idea, but the lighting really flattens everything.
