Nice big image. Looks fun - well composed with a passive eye. Good stuff.

pretty harsh lighting, guessing it was shot between 12 and 2?

It was worth a revisit to read what you said. I'm going to go look him up online now and see some of his work. Added: Found his facebook page and I see he shared this pic of himself after you put it on Flickr. I'd take that as a win!

Thanks for checking it out, Spiff, and as far as the re-share goes, it certainly made my day!

I'm pretty happy with this result! No 1s, 2s or 3s, and almost a new PB. Not to mention landing right between Neil and tanguera...that's a good deal.

Many thanks to those of you taking the time to comment. I haven't had much opportunity for voting and really participating at DPC lately; knowing I can count on certain folks here to always be there with constructive criticism, or simply a compliment, is a great thing.

Except for a couple of minor modern elements, this could be a scene from 60 years ago. Nicely captured.
