A very contemplating photo! I can sit here and think about it and really feel what he must have been feeling...and you the photographer also..Its a nice idea..I like it very much..the corner that he is sitting in..quietly...ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Such a nice scene! I'd love to be in his shoes! I'm glad you took the picture to show us!

this is a great image... i really like all of the soft colours inside that are contrasted by the harsh outside... plus candits are always cool... well done

my new "An angel"

His own little quiet corner of the world. He certainly seems to be enjoying that book.He probably feels like he is on his own deserted island enjoying a few moments of solitude. I really like this- it's different from the norm. :)

Thanks everyone.I have to say I also got off to a cublicle that had a sofa to enjoy my coffee in peace.After fighting the crowds at intersections and in front of the windows at Marshall Fields department store it was indeed an oasis of comfort to my weary body and soul.

Good eye for a unique capture Joseph. I liek everything about this image. I htink the lighting is what "makes" this shot so interesting. It feels warm and inviting ,plus you inlcuded in the picutre, the warm, inviting lights in the coffehouse. Wish I had been there with you to enjoy some coffee and watch the people go by.............thanks for posting this :~)

Thanks Mimi.Always a pleasure to read your comments.

Thanks Cheryl.After I shot this image I was able to wind down with a coffee myself and enjoy the same view from below.

im curious weither you used any tricks to get the exposure right in this one. It looks like it would be one of those challanging spots where the window would want to wash itself out because it is so much brighter outside. If this is the case did you use anything to prevent that from happening?

The light was just right that day Milo.Thanks for taking time to comment.
