Hi Lorraine - I take it he or she is looking at some of your stuff on display there :) Interesting treatment - I've never tried the selective b/w but must give it a go sometime. Have a lovely weekend.

GJC from Kyoto, Japan
My favorite is the lithe thing barely clothed in the corner compared with this woman studiously ignoring her. Nice contrast.

@GJC: Good comment GJC, except he- of the white ponytail, is a man ;)
@Dimitrios: Thanks a lot Dimitrios :)

Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
Heya Lorraine ^_^ Really nice shot! I love the paintings in the background! Especially the one on the ground with the tree. Man I wish I could paint like that! A set of my paintings were sold at SGD$500 not too long ago though so I suppose I gotta be happy right? XD Oh by the way, your photos are beautiful, so i wouldn't be surprised to see them on sale ^_^

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Really looks like the kind of shop I'd enjoy going into, Lorraine. An enjoyable image and I really like the lady's (or man's) bright white hair.

@marianne: Bonjour Marianne, dure à croire mais c'est dans un 'mall' eh bien, pourquoi pas? ;) merci ma petite rousse
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
A very clever idea, Lorraine. The result is a surprising and striking image. This place looks a delight for the shopper as well as the photographer.
14 Nov 2008 10:11pm
@Andrew Gould: Thanks for that lovely comment Andrew ;)

Bookfool from Vicksburg, United States
You asked what gave you away. The flash is visible in the upper right.
14 Nov 2008 10:43pm
@Bookfool: I was being a smart alec sweetie, the flash is def. out there, but I decided to post it anyway ;) lol
Barbara from Florida, United States
I really like the selective coloring here Lorraine. Nice sheen in her hair and very interesting view through the window. Could that be one of your images for sale on the wall?
It looks like a place to find something interesting.
14 Nov 2008 11:13pm
@Barbara: I'm weird sometimes Barb, never even noticed the place, really..the second I spotted him viewing, I wanted the photo lol ;)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Great 'sneaky' shot Lorr, did you run when the flash fired...? I really like how tune these shots with selective color.
14 Nov 2008 11:44pm
@Observing: lol you know me it seems, scared the hell outta me,..try to look innocent after that, geesh, Thanks a lot MM
Betty from New Jersey, United States

15 Nov 2008 1:28am
@JJ: Very nice thing to say JJ, thanks a lot ;)
@JoeB: mmm interesting observation Joe, you come up with very unusual stuff, did I walk all around my ignorance here or what? gotta go look up the 'Jackson Pollock'
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
"SHE is a HE?" ......... Holy cow!!! :D
15 Nov 2008 2:34am
@Judy: Yeah, Isn't he superb...I'm going to wear my hair like that, 'cause it's curly like that, when I'm gone all greay, now I'm half and half ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Neat portrait even if we can't see his face - he looks like one of we artist types - more interested in how a painting looks than the latest hair fad :) As usual perfect selective coloring my friend.
15 Nov 2008 11:46am
@Janice Thomson: I think my hair will look like that soon ;) LOL thanks a lot my dear friend!
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
I think this is really cool! It's like the viewer has stepped back, out of the present and having a look at life that has passed. Incredible!
15 Nov 2008 2:25pm
@bluechameleon: Oh I like your comment Blue, thanks a lot :)
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Une superbe idée, et un travail de mise en N&B très réussi. Dommage pour la présence du flash qui se reflète trop, à mon goût…
16 Nov 2008 11:40am
@Calusarus: Moi aussi et je les presqu'enlever, puis j'ai decide de ne rien faire, faute de paresse ;)
[terrorkitten] from Kritsa, Crete, Greece

18 Nov 2008 7:47am
@[terrorkitten]: What, me flashing? I think not...although actaully I do have one of those...maybe next self-portrait :)
