    OK, the action is nice and I like the person on the left you caught in the shot, though the face looks like that person in the scary film who wore a hockey mask, umm...Jason? (sorry if it's a friend). Something doesn't seem straight though, maybe it's not supposed to be? S

    What struck me was the contrast of the bright colors inside vs. the gray northern city winter outside. – TF

    Thanks guys. It's an action grab shot. It's not supposed to be straight.

    Re: Bridal Shop

    Looks like a little photoshopping at play.
    I would of made the top of the window grey as well as the people.
    other than that I like the color on the inside of the shop.
    Wait their is more.

    The canopy over the sidewalk looks like an office building with the lights turned on in soom of the rooms, Kinda annoying.
    The light on the far end of the sidewalk should of also been grey.
    But this is my two cents.

    I see your walker as being amused at the bride that would wear that very red "bridal gown" in your bridal shop! (I love pictures that spark my imagination.)

    Like a previous poster, the first thing that struck me was the contrast between the inside and the outside of the store -- but then my imagination took over as I focused more on the person's face on which the red dress "reflects."

    Many don't get my sense of humor...

    Hi Don,
    I agree with Old Clicker about the striking colour contrast. The left part seems so B&W. Very well spotted.

    This is a good one, Don. It's like fantasy taunting reality. Nice contrasts from many aspects.
