What an absolutely fabulous place to relax. Give me a couple of cushions and a glass of wine (or two) and leave me there... (remove the old men first please!:) )

Totally faked depth of field (I think!). But apart from that, a really nice idea / image.

the guy is Russian. The place looks like French Riviera... why not? I like the vibe of shot. Amazing how comfortable he evidently is on this little bench :)

Thanks, Shutter. As soon as I noticed these gentlemen talking, that's the exact goal I had in mine: putting a positive spin on things! Too much negativity in our day to day, and while there are certainly things to be upset about in the world, you have to count your blessings too...and laugh a little.
