Nice! They really show the atmosphere of St Patrick's Day

Thanks, Bert, though you could have been fooled by the young lady's expression. I hope she perked up a bit later on.

What does her shirt mean? She seems to be representing a cause with that pamphlet in her hand.

The cause she's representing is the London Irish Women's Centre. Her pamphlet mentions Advice, Advocacy, Information, Counselling, Groups, Publication, and Policy, so I guess it's a regular women's centre aimed specifically at Irish women. Perhaps they have issues that non-Irish women in London don't have - Irish husbands, for example. And now i feel I haven't said anything you didn't already know.

As for her t-shirt - "When Irish eyes are smiling: watch out!" - no knowing without asking her, but for me it kind of speaks for itself. Many a young man has lost his heart, his soul, and a large chunk out of his wallet when a young red-headed Irish woman smiled at him...

love the 2nd one...good composition and colors

Thanks. The composition has to be split-second under those circumstances and I tend to miss more than I get. But the ones that work more than make up for those that don't.
