  1. Thisis a particularly rivetting photo, as there are so many elements that could be part of a story yet to be told. Well done!

  3. Marvelous composition and in B&W too. Black & White is special and this photo was meant to be monochrome. Nice work.

  6. As others have said this works great in B&W and the refections make for a complex and interesting scene. Very appealing.

  14. This is quite a contrast to the beery English-style pubs. Even the people in the photo look like they might be French.

  19. This is a beautiful shot, Julie. The "pickets" above and below frame it well. The fancy scroll work of the chair/table, the shadows and chap in the background all combine to look like a scene from a 1940's movie. Beautifully executed.

  20. Beautifully done! I love black and white. It took me a minute to pick up on the reflection as there was so much to see in this shot. Love the noir feel to it. Kathy

  21. Great catch, I thought it was a fence, didn't realize it was a reflection in a table top until I looked closer. It is the edge of the awning being reflected. Very nice!

  22. Presently beautifully in B&W!
    I agree with Susan in that the picture could tell many stories.
    I remember being given images in creative writing class and asked to compose a story. This one would be a marvelous focal point with which to tell a many stories with many endings.
    Thanks you for your visit to my Pontoon Pleasures shot and the wonderful comment you left. :)
