All photos

A second capture of a previously posted photo 'Santa in Hard Times'. This one has a far better composition and his hat is visible in the light, but it is missing the decisive moment of the yawn. I was hoping he would yawn again. I starting feeling a bit sketchy standing by watching this old timer sleeping so I went ahead and took this shot and went on my way. The perfect photo is always elusive and fleeting. May this one be a reminder for me to think and move quickly and quietly when when I see the moment approaching.
Which do you prefer, this one or the yawn?

(Originally posted that this was shot with the 50mm pancake, but looking at the distortion on the ride, I'm pretty sure I must have been using the 35mm. It's been a while.)
