Comment by bassbone:
the strong shadows provide a great deal of interest to me - and the harsh lighting to illuminate the hair on the dog really helps provide it as a focus point

Spring soon!

Comment by Ken:
Nothing like those flowers to remind us it's spring. I like how the flowers contrast with the woman on left; they all bright and cheery and her not so much.

From the thumbnail I thought he caught you taking his picture. He does look a bit dazed.

Which means you have to shoot over their heads to get a shot. You certainly found one. Whoever this is (appears to be Justice with the Scales in one hand and the Law in the other), she seems to be making her case to whoever will listen. The clock on the wall reminding us of the passage of time is a nice touch.

Wonderful juxtaposition. My eye is swept from the past through the ages into the present in one gentle motion. Contrast is superb. Great shot.

Lovely colorful flowers against that neutral background. Such a sharp contrast to see the lady in black with the umbrella at the same time. Nice capture.

Yes, yes. He definitely looks a little dazed and confused. Wonderful focus and detail in this. Shallow dof really brings my attention to the subject. Well captured candid moment, Deb.

I like this for a couple of reasons. One, there are a lot of patterns in there so there is a lot to look at. Also, it is kinda nice to not be looking at a picture of just a texture,but of texture that seems to have a purpose. On a different level,I couldn't help but wonder how many of these people are going through the same "pattern" everyday. Nice shot. Hope it does well.
