After clicking between the two versions for a while I feel this one has a lot more going for it.

The lighter version is nice, but except for the dandy shadows, not exceptional. In this one here, the stark contrast, the obscured man, and the sharp shadows make it very arty and edgy. Love it.

Smoking square

OMG - that's a riot!! I haven't been in Germland since 1991, and so I'm sure there are quite a few changes - the smoking restrictions being one of them. I have to say, that is so very German to put a yellow square on pavement and expect people to stand in it to smoke - and even more German that they do. I'll have to tell my mom about this - since I grew up in Germany, she lived there, too - though not as long as I did.

Love this, Deb! The abstract/blur/high-key - totally awesome effect. This would look good on a wall.

This bustier must have been bad - which is why it's in the corner ;o).

Love it! Sure is quirky and the process is wonderful.
