I like this very much, Cesar, your selective framing, giving a story with only a few elements, and your effects as well, which add so much to the story rather than take away from it by drawing attention to themselves. #1059987

Thank you, Mitch. You are the first person to comment on this photo. I personally like this photograph too and had always wondered why nobody had posted any comments on it; it's been in my gallery for more than a month now. Thank you for the time you've taken to look at it and leave your kind comments. I really appreciate the support you have always given me.

Cesar, I really love this image, and the creative use of the filters, and the phrase from "Waiting for Godot"! I have not seen that phrase since high school literature, and that was decades ago:). #8890643
