Like the atmosphere in this.

Yes, the atmosphere is lovely.

great near-silhouette. Did you snatch it or wait until the person was in the right place?

Beautiful. Almost like a colour pencil drawing

Love the photo/quote combo.

Good words, good photo and happy birthday for yesterday xx

Thank you for the highlight, the comments and the birthday wish. The words felt relevant on three different levels, none of which I feel like articulating right now : - )

About the photo for Dhamaka: The man was standing in the middle of the bridge with a Labrador. By the time I'd got the camera out he'd started walking so I snapped anyway and was quite pleased with the result.

About the birthday: I flew out to a romantic European capital last weekend to meet up with CM who flew in on the up draft of Frankenstorm or whatever they're calling hurricane Sandy. We spent my birthday together, in a perfect week, and I came home yesterday. Glen is having a wonderful adventure and should be back later on this month.

I prefer off centre compositions.. mostly so it worked well for me
And your birthday week sounds perfect too

It was, thanks. I'm very spoiled : - )
