6th place
Viennese Waltz

Vienna, Austria

This was taken at Hofburg Palace in Vienna. I didn't know who these people were -- they just broke into a waltz before my eyes and I happened to have my camera at the ready!

That's just how it is sometimes, Helen.... the right place at the right time :-)
I can relate completely as many of us can, with the "fumbling" with the camera to set-up for the shot before it disappears. Remember the old days of fumbling, getting it set-up, only to have the shutter lag miss the shot for ya? he he Great shot! Markjay

Thank you for the kind comments. This was one instance of truly being in the right place at the right time! I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and although I did have my camera ready to use, I was still fumbling with it to set up the shot and was afraid they were going to finish their dance and leave.

Helen I think this is a priceless Candid shot! I think you've done a great job as a photographer to really 'capture the moment' in this one!
