As JBA wrote "Courtesy, professionalism, respect"... Just incredible to have that, right in the middle of the shot, at the right moment in that so particular situation. Those policemen would be very happy to see that photograph :-) Excellent work.

Catalin Parau Indeed, those words amplify the image's message.
Thank you very much for your visit and kind words Laurence, greatly appreciated!

Excellent! I was wondering why she seemed so happy to be the center of all this attention--most folks react a little differently when the police are involved. Your description explains everything. ;)

Catalin Parau I'm not entirely convinced she was happy...more having an ironic look on the situation :)
The other images I took show her in a quite dramatically different state.
Nonetheless, thank you for your visit!
