Everything you touch turns to gold Steve. Especially your shutter.. Wow. Amazing capture from the eye of a master. Always a pleasure to view your work buddy.

Dave.

Yep - the reflection ties this shot together really well.

Well spotted, Steve.

A slight move to the left or right .. a step backwards or forward .. it's all that's needed, but first the image must be formed in the mind and I think that's where your real talent resides.

That's not to say your technical ability lacks quality, but I think some of us are a little more interested in compostion at this point and this is an awesome photo.. the building in the BG... the street scene in the leading to that great reflection , just great Buddy
