Well, except for the portrait of Opus the dachshund, but posting that would be pushing the Street and PJ envelope waaay too far....:rofl :rofl

    One of the best compositions I've ever seen from you, just on an abstract level. Very very nice.
    If not now, when?

    This is a terrific shot...very interesting and well composed. It's like we're getting a peek at a world within a world.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    15524779-Ti.gif Very nicely seen and executed. One nit is the thingy in the lower right corner--I don't know what it is, but I would clone it out.

    Great shot! I love how the bicycle wheels painted on the floor 'echo' the round and bold letters on the window. thumb.gif

    Thank you all - I just never know - whether I'm right, and what others will think mwink.gif

    And, Richard - what you are seeing is the Vespa's brake and handlebar end - were it an advertising set up, I'd probably clone it out. But as a street shot - I don't do no steenkin' cloning! rolleyes1.gif

    You do realise it's a form of torture taking pictures out in front of Tosci's when I have absolutely no hope of tasting their delectable ice cream in the foreseeable future. Damn you B. D. :moon mwink.gif

    it's interesting to me but not compelling. you have taken what would have been a very ordinary shot of man eating something and used the trickery of a miror reflection to make it more interesting! apply your own standard...if the mirror wasn't there...what have you got?

    it's like pair of white athletic socks wrapped in very fancy wrapping paper. leaves me wanting.

    Yes, of course I would have taken it without the mirror - because we would still be wondering about the woman coming in from the side. But to each his own. rolleyes1.gif
