Comment by MacDonald:
This photo is totally out of place as a candid! Because I would spend hours on this shot and then hours more on pp and it would not look this good (grin) There is nothing left to say that hasn't been said other than I love it .. it is perfectly composed, post processed and just a delight on the eye.

Bus stop

Comment by MacDonald:
Great shops in front of that bus stop .. I agree with the others said - about the focus..as was posted about another shot, sometimes focus is over-rated and in this particular photo, it's the posture of the individuals that carry more weight..I like how the stains on the street along with the litter under the feet of the people give it a gritty workingman/woman feel, then up to the windows where beautiful clothes are showcased.

Comment by dsterner:
ah, you're getting closer to Worms am Rhein! Well done!
This scene reminds me of the time Franz took me out to buy wine from a local grower. We sat in a little nook tasting wine from what seemed like juice glasses - small straight sided glasses, no stem, with the growers seal on it.
I have a small collection of such glasses. I used to know the German wine standards...late season harvest names and such. I'll call Mom again and she will delight in my questioning - calling me an odd ball for asking such things for no apparent reason. But in the end it never seems odd at all.

Nice light and shadows -- I like that diagonal running into the lower right.

Bus stop

Comment by Germaine:
I love bus stop shots -- people are always so wrapped-up in their own thoughts -- totally not relating to those around them. I like the name of the store, too! I wonder what this would be like in b&w.

Ha. Nice diagonal tension. (Expert editing would have allowed you to highlight, just a tad, that clever wicked little toe claw).
