Times Square's famous "Naked Cowboy" (Robert John Burck is not truly naked. He DOES have colorful bikini-cut briefs obscured by his guitar. Call this a snapshot if you like, but I took a dozen shots of him, holding both a note and his flexed pose, before getting the composition right. The "reporter's" mic is perfectly framed by the Cowboy's chest while he(?) holds a cane and an issue of Maxim. Emotion? Heck yes! It's a celebration of two characters giving everything they've got, making a buck on the streets of the greatest city in the world! The photo was cropped with a touch of vignetting in Lightroom.
