Ron from Saint Louis, United States
A very sweet scene, Lorraine ... reminds me of how you can be in a crowded room and your attention continues to be drawn back to a single focal point - over and over again ... because that's where the interest lies. Good use of natural light and ambient light ... well done!

@missparis: merci beaucoup Missparis :)
@Betty: Thanks a lot Betty :)

Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
The setting and the wall lights give the impression of it being very old. I like the partial blur and low level light. Very good Lorraine.

Barbara from Florida, United States
Simply said.... I love this one Lorraine. The light and soft focus are excellent. I just noticed the unique windows. I have never seen one section small the other larger. It is an older structure I am sure, I have always admired older or historical homes and architecture. Well I guess my "simple" comment turned into a lengthy one. Very nice!
15 Jun 2008 4:20am
@Barbara: I love all you comments lengthy or short lol yes unusual windows, and sedate and lovely setting, I sneaked in, I had never seen it before, I didn't even know it existed, well the doors were opened and there was some sort of activity outside for the public, so I thought, why not ? ;)
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
A table for two, a clandestine meeting, with only eyes for each other.
Brilliant Lorraine, I love it, it say's so much.
15 Jun 2008 8:59am
@MaryB: Yes It reminded me of the unconditional love between me and my coffee, sigh...lol thanks a lot sweetie

@laughingwolf: in Spanish it's Café con leche, ok thanks for this Wolf, now I know the most important phrase in four languages ;)
