Excellent Brian. The reflection on the bar strikes me as important, it also makes me feel a touch peckish

 

[Pete Askew]

I've just had lunch so peckish I'm not but I still love that reflection. Gorgeous stuff. Mind, some idiot has carved his name in the counter-top.

Thanks Julian. Have something to eat.

Thank you, Pete. (And by the way,...an idiot has to do SOMEthing while waiting for his lunch!)

I like it, but my eyes keep wandering between the guys outside and the two at the bar, feeling that the ones at the bar are somewhat blurry in their faces, probably due to motion of the two. Can't really make up my mind 'bout what to make of it and focus on here!

Thanks, Ivar. Focusing with the XA is a hit and miss affair. There's insufficient contrast in the viewfinder to use it accurately for rangefinding so I always estimate distance.
