    I am really digging this one!

    The couple looks like they are trying to figure out how they ended up in the past.

    Wow, what a clash of eras. Nice capture.

    Nice contrast of themes. The barber pole in the background really helps that era-shift-- don't see those much anymore.

    Overall, quite a nice image. I like the composition and gradient of light. One nit for me is the person's head (at least that's what I think it is) behind the woman. Or does she have an ultra-trendy hair style? lol3.gif It did take me a while to notice it, so maybe I'm just being too fussy ne_nau.gif.

    Wonderful shot, for all the reasons previously mentioned.

    This looks like a PP challenge. Dare I suggest that the left hand side needs more contrast? :cry But the subjects on the right are already very dark relative to the rest of the photo...

    I like this one a lot.

    I first saw it on my laptop on which the couple on the right looked way too dark. They look fine on my 24" iMac screen, though.

    I would be tempted to darken the area on the left a bit to balance the lighting in the picture better. Not enough to take away the light versus darker sides of the photo - which add to its power - but enough to let us enjoy the detail on the left a bit more.

    I'm finally beginning to play with some of the more advanced tools in my software. Here's a version with reworked exposure and contrast on the left-hand side. Thanks for the feedback so far.

    I like this version much better Jenn. What software did you use?
