    I'm never disappointed when I open your shots, Greg.
    The only thing that might be considered is cropping from the top but I actually like the bit of light on the wall or window up there....adds mood.

    Great shot!!! Love it but have to ask: was it set up, or was it happenstance that you just happened to see passing by?

    Neat photo. This qualifies for your membership in the Photographic School of Life (just kidding).

    Also appropriate considering Paul Newman's recent passing.

    Fine shot, Greg. Weird color combinations here but it adds an eerie night mood about it.

    It has the look of someone being stalked or spied on.. It's a bit eerie. I'm not sure about the light at the top as there is no source. Nevertheless I think this is a strong image.

    Rylan, Lori, Gary, Don, Leels, Thanks,
    Frog that is a very nice compliment, Thanks. You are a very honest critiqer that helps me as well.
    Bluesguy, I saw the scene when I was riding down the road, turned around and waited across the street in a parking lot until the gent was in a good position and took the shot.
    Tom I was curious what response I would get on the bit of light at the top. I thought it helped with the framing. Thanks for your input.

    Re: The Hustler

    Nothing left to say, this is a terrific shot. I would just print and hang on the wall.

    For some reason when I first looked I thought it has a 60's feel to it.

    Also, that business might be very interested in buying a large print.
