I love such an informal treatment of a formal scene. I especially like the sweet spot centered (on what appears to be) a broken facade of a raised bed and upon the only broken branch of the otherwise perfectly espaliered trees.
The fact that all lines lead to the focus point makes me think there must be a story there. Maybe both the broken branch and facade were simply the act of temporary insanity, or perhaps the gardener was peering over the fence into the neighbor's yard when he lost control of his pruning sheers.
This photo makes me want to know more, and for me it is the best kind of photo.

Outstanding job, Deb!
The missing painting above your subject makes it appear as if he is "Life Imitating Art". Or maybe he is actually a painting just coming to life and sampling his first cup of coffee.
In either case, this is a "shoot from the hip" masterpiece.

I prefer your "Death & Laundry" capture, although, this is outstanding as well. Congrats on receiving the "Order of the Thumb."

This is great, it looks exactly like a satellite image of a sand dune formed beside some? ocean. Maybe the "Dune de Pyla"

There are many of your captures that make me want to pack up and move to the big city - just to shoot the streets. This is as good as it gets.
