When I first saw this I thought the space on the left and bottom and the date 1935 just leaning on the top of the frame were a bit misleading to my eye.
Then I looked at this again and again (yep, at least 2 of those 100+ exceeding views are mine :P ) and I noticed the car and the lady with yet another hat on the left of the print!

I don't know if the other hat was intended, but it gives the image a nice touch, just like GeorgesBogaert picture's scooters, given that an italian motorcycles manifacturer makes a scooter whose name is "Typhoon" :D

So, even though I still think the whole frame might have been moved "up" a bit, I say: well deserved second place :)

Congrats!

Congratulations Anita. I love the interaction here. The sailors look like they are honouring the old man, ushering him along his way. He on the other hand, seems oblivious. A really cool find, and nicely wrought.,

This is one for the front page. He may have been a sailor too.

Congrats Anita! For you and your tastes, this image sits in the traditional category pretty firmly. I like it a lot though. Nice mood.

This is one of my three top favorites I really dig the angle that this image was captured the black and white brings out the pop that is supposed to be seen, Very well done and put together.
