Hi Bob ... Thanks for your kind words. I'm starting to like this photo more and more, and have decided to work diligently on it to make it better. I'm still unsure about the crop, but that can be fiddled with later. Definitely gonna go with a bit of sepia on this one, or certainly a warm tone. I love the shopkeeper as well.
When will we get to see some of your pics? shel Bob W wrote: > > Hi, > > > Here they are, proudly showing off their new inventory, > > while the shop keeper looks on.
