Another winner. Great dynamism and perfect composition.
A question: do you shoot from the hip or compose thoughfully? I ask because the stuff I shoot that I like the best is often framed by instinct more than careful composition.

Thanks for your comment Tel: For this one I was sitting in a bus shelter in the east end of Princes Street. I was in there for around 10 minutes and took around 4 photographs. If I remember correctly the shutter speed was set for 1/125 and aperture f5.6. The distance was preset for 12 feet. I know if I get the timing right I might get something decent. I will get this neg into the darkroom for a print. I love the Canon P and Canon 35mm f2 lens. I do a lot of cafe photography with it. The lens is diminutive and the shutter quiet.

Thanks Martin. I had just been to a wonderful Letizia Batagglia exhibition in the Italian Consulate in Edinburgh and felt inspired. I thought the young woman might be Italian? A 21st century Greta Garbo brings to mind all her great films.
