Response to In Your Face or Behind A Bush?

I almost always work close up, even if I am shooting surreptitiously. I find it much easier to get a feel for the subject close up. Also, it removes the obstacles between you and the subject. The photo below was a hip shot from a few feet away. I was surrounded by kids as school had just gotten out and would not have had an unobstructed view from any farther away. More importantly, I wouldn't even have seen the shot from any distance.
