A very good photo, especially with a mobile phone. My only critic would be that I find the extreme left side of the image a bit empty. But I need have a longer look at your photo to be sure.

Pretty good street shot. It would be even better without the two figures on the right. The light through the window and the mirror are what make the picture.

Thank you. I came to the same conclusion, these 2 guys now are disturbing me.
This is all about resuming to what really makes the picture, I agree

Thank you François. In fact, what you say join the RSL comment. With the presence of the 2 guys I also think that there is a lack of "stability" and the left side is empty. If as RSL suggests, I take out the 2 disturbing guys and concentrate on what makes the picture I'm pretty sure the left side will work well.
When I have a moment I will try.

Fred.

...And Russ, a big sorry to have written the more impersonal "RSL" refering to you in my post, I just saw that your name is Russ, but it was written very small and didn't noticed it first.

I take the oportunity to correct it here.

Fred.

Fred, No sweat. I wasn't sure of your name either when I first saw the post. Keep up this kind of shooting. It's my favorite. Life is wonderful stuff, and the camera is a great tool for capturing it.

That's correct. With the two guys, your image is unbalanced.
