Lunch Time in the City
Lunch Time in the City

--------
All through downtown Philadelphia can be found sidewalk cafes, filled with people enjoying the noontime respite with friends and colleagues.
----------
It was shortly after noon on Locust Street when I came upon these beautifully arranged table settings. The weather was perfect, and a Maitre de was standing just out of the frame awaiting the day's first diner. June 25, 2010 @ 12:30 pm

  You do find the little touches that make a city work. I'd like to pull up a chair right there. Great job, Michelle.

  Wonderful EOD's here, Michelle, and I see two glasses up! Is that where you sat? :) I love the treatment you used here giving it that special signature look in so many of your creations. So well done!

Thanks for enjoying my waterfall series! It was fun to see all of your predictions! :D

  Michelle, this is a wonderful capture of a superb alfresco scene with repeating theme!! :o) Like Laura I, too, noticed that the closest glasses were upright!! Interesting!! ;o)

My bro-in-law, John, mentioned that he'd like to see the sunshine!! Sadly, at the moment, our weather really is rather showery and inclement, but come summer time we'll be glad that we had the rain now!! :o/

  I really like this simple city scene. Lines, color and comp all spot on. Looks like you did something in post processing that makes this really stand out. Nicely done.

  I've always admiried a "stacked or compressed" effect like this in photos.

Excellent subject for that technique.

Your good lighting and effects make the shot even better.
