Photo Challenge: Barber cuts in

Elvis cuts in 2012© Keri Neal
After viewing the movie, "Roman Holiday" I was inspired by a scene where the characters are attending an outdoor dance and a local Barber cuts in while the two lead characters are dancing. Not to be rude, but rather to join in the festivities and, naturally, to woo the attention of the pretty girl.
Here. I took this image when a Flash-mob broke out in the square at Trivolli Village in Las Vegas. The dance group (including the show girl) that practiced the choreography were pleasantly surprised when Elvis, popped in.
I found this to be newsworthy for several reasons; the flash-mob itself, is always a surprise of spreading joy, the location is a newly opened shopping center in town - the event to celebrate the Grand Opening, and anytime Elvis makes an appearance it is newsworthy.
I took this photo using my "drop" camera; a Canon Rebel on f/16 @1/500 sec with a 75-300mm lens.  It was hard to hold still with all the excitement around me.
Rock on, Elvis, rock on.
