    Hmm...maybe change the title to "Please allow me to introduce myself..." rolleyes1.gif Maybe that's what you meant.

    I rather like it, but I think it would work better if you cropped it square, eliminating from the bottom. I don't think we need to see that much shirt.

    Good call Richard. I've changed the crop and like it much better. And yes, that is what I intended. My memory of lyrics at 5am is poor at best. rolleyes1.gif

    lol3.gif Mick probably forgets, too. I fixed the thread title for you.

    Much better with the crop. thumb.gif

    Great shot and PS work. Not seeing the look on the face of the person in the white shirt lends more to the mystery - "what was I thinking - no honey I am not entering this place - I will be right home". So much can be written about this capture. (This is why I like Street PJ so much - good shots tell many stories.

    Thanks Ed. The Fringe Fest in Edinburgh provided so many photo ops. This guy was great. :D The Mickster immediately started singing in my head.
