A man in yellow crosses Campo san Polo

This was one of those brief moments where a shot briefly appears before your eyes. The shape of the buildings, the people resting by the fountain, and the man in the bright yellow shirt striding across the campo. Seconds later other groups of people had wandered into the frame, cluttering the scene, and removing the sense of space and heat that this picture says to me.

Quite often I miss those chances, those decisive moments, as Henri Cartier Bresson famously said. I think I got a nice picture here though.
