Gilberto

wellcome to the site. Hope to see much more of this good stuff. I enjoy store front shots.

Fascinating,

well balanced and great colors.

like the thumbnail

better than the big pic for some reason - perhaps the reflections which I find a bit distracting.... nevertheless, a great composition... makes me think Reservoir Dogs...

Definitely a case of

where's Mister Pink. Well captured, I particularly like the reflection in the background which fades away as you change angle of view on screen.

Mike,

I'm a little surprised to hear you don't like the reflections. To me, the reflections "are" the underlying power of the image. I just wish they were more distinct. Linc

Linc, my apologies...

Sometimes I'm a bit incoherent (rushed) in commenting.... I flipped back and forth on this one for a while, even inviting a colleagues opinion... The background reflections are certainly marvellous, however, after some discussion I think I/ we remained a bit disturbed by the reflections in front of the front-man so to speak... its nothing irreconcilable within the image in total (which is great), just something the left side of my brain is ever so slightly rancoured by.... call it nit-picking if you will - but it appears an irony of any form of critique that the better image will always be subject to more nitpicking than the more decidedly average ones.... and that may be a fault of mine!... all the best....
