I'm not sure what you are saying, but my point was that in this day and age you could be at risk if someone misinterprets your taking pics of little girls outside a rest room.
Waaayyyyyy too much time on your hands.

If you wish to argue about something like this, then it is you who have too much time.

I don't mind laughing at your arguing.

Whoa, people ... I wasn't hanging around the restrooms ... I was looking for a different view of the just after sunrise sky and did actually have to go myself ... right next to the bathrooms is a snack and tourist shop ... that was my original intent after I relieved myself. .. and I didn't hang there either. I was working an event there and trying to get snaps of whatever I could, in short bursts. I snapped the shot as I was coming out ... the little girl wasn't the focus of the picture ... the line of women waiting was.

My apologies! I was in no way implying that was the case! My point is the perception some may have, period.

That's understandable. Sometimes Oddjobber doesn't understand Oddjobber's comments.
It has to do with perceived right to privacy. The potty line is that sort of thing. Truckster's "they didn't even see me" tells me that there's something inherently covert and wrong here. If just one husband or mother or insecurity guard makes a scene, that brings everyone else with a camera under scrutiny. Sure it's legally defensible, but that doesn't make it right.

There is NO perceived right to privacy standing outside the door in that line. None. (If there was the door and walls would not be needed.)
It is interesting that Street Photography has subjects that are non-tangible relationships between tangible objects, while some people imagine non-existant relationships rather than examine real ones that actually do exist. That is seen in its worst case with these comments but it is, in less offensive forms, seen in many discussions of Street shots.

You can't say what anyone perceives except yourself. That's why it's perception.

True that people can and clearly do perceive anything they like. That does not make it valid. They are restrained, by law, from acting on many kinds of false or whimsical perceptions.
I should have said no valid perception of privacy.

No argument there.

Anyway, I like this shot. Having the little girl sharper would have made the photo even better.

This is a scene everybody can relate to because we have all been there before. I think taking mild ammusement at the ladies discomfort is one thing, if Truckster had poked the lens through the restroom door, then that is quite another.
I natrually tend to be quite a tight cropper and I don't generally respect standard aspect ratios if the visual story doesn't fit the standard frame (yes, I know why they exist), so I am with OddJobber on loosing the RHS of the building. For me it doesn't add to the story but hey, there is no right and wrong, you call them as you see them.
Re the picture, does it look to you as if Evans Storm is escaping house arrest?
