From a recent and very productive trip to Lisbon.
A reflection. I like this a lot, but my wife thinks this is one of the best photos I have ever taken. I strongly disagree, but I do like it!

It is brilliantly effective, Chris.

I especially like the black strip across his eyes: we’ll never know his identity!

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Colours, composition and texture, the combination of which is greatly expressive. Am I the only one who has the sense of seeing a mirage?

 

[Pete Askew]

It didn’t strike me, but I can see what you mean, Gianluca.

Ah, re. the black strip: what I didn't mention is that the location was the Ministry of Justice, so he was probably just dressed for work!

Thanks for your remarks. It certainly has a mirage like feel to it, doesn't it?

i like it. i think it's more than just the guy in the reflection, it's the arch framing him and the bright yellow background.
