What a charming and unexpected palette, Chris. Very well seen and composed. The shapes and textures are excellent and I really like the touches of dainty curving detail in this largely linear design. #1438256

Thanks, Leslie... this one was a scene captured during my spontaneous exercise to sit at a coffee shop sidewalk table and see how many compositions I could find, that I liked, with 1 lens, from that seat. I ended up with 4 keepers! #9948035
