In professional sports and performing arts, you have to be great. Most importantly, you have to be great when it matters. Scoring a goal during practice is not the same as doing it during the football match at the Championship Final match. Landing a pirouette or reaching that high note is priceless when the audience is there, watching you. Not during practice.

Sometimes, doing something that you are proud of is the result of being at the right place at the right time. Being lucky, if you will. And yet, you still need to be ready, grab your camera, compose and shoot. I’m not a 100% happy with this picture. If only I had moved the camera a little …. But, I really like it. The two people in the image were in this particular configuration for less than a minute.

I shot three pictures while waiting for them to be in the right position. Then, they moved away. Each one in a different direction. They were not part of a group, as I thought, but completely unrelated to each other. Just two individuals admiring paintings at the National Galleries of Scotland. This is the picture I selected from the three I captured.
