Hi Ann,

It took a second viewing, after my morning tea, to see the subtlety of this
shot.  I like it.  However, I think that the heavy black border around it
is too much, and that a thinner black border won't compete as much with the
image.  Also, the white background that comes up on my browser doesn't help
the presentation much, either.  A neutral, middle grey, would be
advantageous, imo. I sincerely believe that all too often not enough time
and thought is given to the photo's presentation.  OK, off my soap box now
before the tomatoes come flying.

That said, good catch.  I like many of your photos just for the fact that I
have to "get into them" a bit to fully appreciate the work.  You make me
work to see the less obvious, which is a Good Thing.

WRT the comment (by someone) that the driver's face would enhance the photo
if the driver was looking at the camera: Nope, don't think so. There's a
subtle dynamic going on that requires contact between the driver and the
scowling poster face.  I think too many people look for the obvious.

Sure, it may have been a grab shot, a lucky catch, but you recognized what
was going on upon seeing what was in the finder, or afterwards, upon
looking at the print or the neg.

Anyway, cool shot.  I like how clean and neat the street seems, too.
