As biscuit tins go these are particularly nice Pete. Did you buy any? Did you defile them by dunking em in ya tea?

 

[Pete Askew]

I was strong and resisted the siren's call... and in any case, they were closed!

I like the warm colors in this shot, Pete, as well as the ghostly aparition capturing the image. It looks rather smartly dressed.

 

[Beth Carter]

nicely seen!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Beautiful toning, gorgeous!

 

[Ahmad Bhai]

There seems to be a ghostly chap with a camera

I must say those Siren tins are rather alluring

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks all. We'd spotted that character a few times during the day. Ina caught him in the end, pretending to be looking the other way!

Liking this pic a lot Pete with the old guy walking and someone in the window being busy. An action pic with four stories, including the absent photographer . Brilliant.

Edit. For me it has a lot of the best qualities of Edward Hopper and a twist of Rene' Magritte.

Peek Freans Religious Assortment if I'm not mistaken Pete?

I love the trifecta of vanilla, chocolate and altar wine between wafers

Not sure about the guy with too many cameras - bloody tourists!

 

[Pete Askew]

Too many cameras?! Is there such a thing?!

 

[Lesley Jones]

Aha! This is one I couldn't see in my lunch break. I like it a lot with those lovely warm tones and the added reflections

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Lesley. I suspect it is the square ones you can't see and is down to file size. The width is set but when it is either square or portrait oriented then the size will be different.

 

[Lesley Jones]

I think you're right. I found on my previous forum that anything I uploaded over 500Kb is invisible. It's frustrating because we have even less time at home these days - sitting down anyway

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Too many cameras?! Is there such a thing?!

Ask my wife...

Then again, don't ask my wife!

 

[Ralph Thornton]

Pete, I must say you come up with the greatest variety of interesting images. This one is top notch.
