Description


----
At a sidewalk cafe in Baltimore, Maryland. With friends from our Camera Club, we were there to photograph the Tall Ships.
----
As I was processing this photo, I added some structure using Nik Viveza 2, and when I looked again, there was a creepy reflection in the foremost glass--near the menu. Do you see a resemblance to Charles Laughton? Some do...others cannot find it!

I see a face but with the pic being fairly small, it's hard to tell, Michelle. It's a great shot in black and white! #10268020
