That had to have been a really difficult scene for the camera's meter. There is something about it that looks like hdr. I've noticed that with some of the other quattro images you've posted. It is obviously an effect of the foveon sensor.

The panoramic perspective makes it seem like you're looking downhill at them. Nice capture Rob.

Thanks, Brian. I used the 21:9 format the Quattro gives. I was above them, as the cafe was below street level.

I agree and the wider format increases the intimacy of the scene I think. I like it.

I do not think as Someone else here, I do know that I like it and it is cleverly done for a what he claims notto be, a street photographer, but the foreground is washed out a bit. It does no matter though!

The foreground was deliberately washed out a bit. Where's that glove....?
Ah, here it is!

OK, peasants 
, let me explain 
.
The picture has nothing to do with the two ladies. It's a story about light, somewhat related, though in a two-tone world, to Newton's refracted light, and Keats' concern about science ruining the mystery of Creation by "spoiling the white radiance of eternity". On this side of the pane of glass, the sun's white radiance is too strong for the white of the plates. Yet on the other side of the glass, the plate can be seen in detail.

That is a clever way of an attempt to distract anyone from the fact that the highlights are blown
. But I said it did not matter, didn't I?

Ah I see now, and the circular table with the central spot; motion of bodies, orbits. And then the black sun reference back to Keats' final days. Fiendishly clever, sir.

Finally! Someone who gets my gigantic intellect. Pete, I commission you to re-evaluate all my work in the (non-refracted) light of this revelation. Are you up to the task?
