Thanks, Marnie.

I kind of like the top edge there;  along with the sidewalk/street on
the right I think they frame the subjects nicely, and give a sense of
place to the photo.  I agree with Godfrey that it would be nice if
those edges were OOF.

Thanks for looking and thanks for your comments.

cheers,
frank

My, that's in good shape.

I almost think I'd prefer this one in colour; it's too spring-and-hope
to really fit with black and white, at least according to whatever
warped aesthetics I appear to use.

This is a great shot in many ways, but the background business is
