Aw, the Parisians. Love ’em or hate ’em, you have to admit that they do live in a pretty spectacular city where art and culture abound at every corner–and in this case, from every gutter.

Titled “Reaching Out,” this shot of the Rue de L’Ancienne Comedie in Paris subtly captures the sly humor of some fleeting street artist. The feeling of anguish is so perfectly communicated by the outstretched hand and further accentuated by the lead-foot of a passerby.

Great job, Pirano, for catching this at the perfect time and angle!
