Love it!

Great composition. And as Gary said, love it!

I wasn't sure whether to post this. Thanks for your warm response @Gary R. Smith and @Peter Roberts!

Another fabulous reflection shot. Almost Magritte in atmosphere. The enigmatic reflection contrasts so well with the promotional display image and the inside/outside conundrum is brilliant.

Now that you say I can see it!

Why pray tell?? It's great.

...and how many half men do you count? Just wondering. I count 3.

I count three as well, but I would have preferred there to be two (me and that ‘Man’ printed on the light-up poster; the one on the right is a bit of an intruder who I wish wasn’t there).

the one on the right

I know, I was on the fence about counting him...

The 'third man' is just background, I hadn't noticed him until you mentioned him. That bifurcated silhouette is absolutely captivating.

nicely spotted, there's a few half men in this one.

I was just about the post praise for this image, when I read your reply to Gary, which made me reassess the image. And now I read it slightly differently Iand still love the image, but now even more). I see what you mean about the ‘third man’ moving out of frame, but what that does is to draw the eye to the young lady(?) observing the tableaux from across the street. I now cannot ‘un-see’ her, but that is a good thing.
