@Lorraine: Hi Lorraine, many thanks for the great comment. There was an element of luck in this one... I was taking trying to take a picture of the crowd and this gentleman turned round and I clicked. Image is cropped. Unfortunately it did not have critical sharpness for his eyes. Did you see I was being watched :-)! Bob
What a fierce look! Taking photos in a crowd must be challenging. Nice lighting.

I agree with Anne, fierce look. Is it difficult to take photos in the crowd there?

@Wolfgang Prigge: Hi Wolfgang, Many thanks for your comment! It was all very laid back, it was Friday, the local day off, it was in a 'tourist attaction' a very famous gardens with ice cream sellers, balloons sellers, food stalls etc it was a holiday atmosphere - I was made very welcome! It was difficult composing a picture though in such a big crowd. Bob
