Infinitely arresting and absorbing. If a viewer can't make a thrilling journey out of looking at this, he/she'd be in a pretty sad state imagination-wise.

And Oh, look! Nearly everybody is!

I can taste Georgia O'Keefe here. Well, just a whiff, but that's plenty to be going on with.

But putting all that aside (mercifully, I hear you mutter), it's a beautiful thing: filled with light and space and a quiet majesty, rather like an understated stained glass window. It has that celestial portal feel about it.

True, but really we should be commenting on the photograph, rather than making ad hominem remarks.

Oh, get outta here! This juxta is juxt too perfect, and your picture is thoroughly comfortable in the company of the very best of pure street photographs. Thank you. Multumesc!

Oh bloody hell. This is just terrific, John. You're the quiet achiever, mate. I'm so glad you are uc-dai-loi because it makes me fondly imagine that some of it will rub off on me by association.

Hope I look this interesting when I'm running out of gas. I guess I'll find out quite soon. You'd better come over & record my last steps shuffles.

Clive! It's a wonderful photograph (and I mean that literally). Reminded me of how much I love Warren Harold's blog and how it celebrates life and love and photographs so wonderfully. I hope you will like it too. Thank you.

Your pictures nearly always make me think of music or poetry. They are not about photography at all (and what a mercy that is), but more about emotions and memories and sensibility. Oddly enough, this seems to happen as easily when you thumb your nose at convention entirely, as in this picture, or when you pretend to merely be a photographer, as in this one.

Cristophe, this is for me clearly the best picture that you have submitted to DPC. While I have admired the skill and commitment of your more overtly orchestrated works, they haven't been to my taste (though the fact that they are so widely celebrated suggests that that's my problem, and not yours!) But this one I have the double pleasure of both admiring and liking, very much indeed. Thank you.

As for the couple of comments lamenting the shadows, I cannot agree. The real world has shadows. The fact that you could 'spoil' this beautifully constructed whimsy with a cold splash of shadows testifies to your humour as well as your style.
