@Ins@no: Thanks, Ins@no! I went back and forth about that, but in the end decided to leave the other guy to give more context. I appreciate the feedback.

Helen from Melbourne, Australia

Fabulous. I'd leave this as is. I love the blue of the window and how it is picked up in the jacket fur and on the seat. I'm impressed how you kept focus from the foot to the head! On top of all that I love the title.

@Helen: Many thanks, Helen! I'm sure I saw the film of that name many years ago, but now only the title stays with me.

Daroru from Osaka, Japan

Punk! Love the colours and light again - almost comic-booky.

@Daroru: Yeah, I went a little crazy with the saturation on this one, but I just couldn't resist. Thanks, Daroru!

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

brilliant colours. Im digging that window immensely. And the expression is nice n surly...he doesnt give a fig about this that and the other. The boots almost kicking me in the eye, great focus and clarity through the shot. gives it excellent depth. The colours are as Daroru said, almost comic-booky in their vividness yet contain enough contrast to give the image real visual depth as oppossed to a flat coloured image a la marvel/dc etc. Its a real nice shot...I keep wanting to push his foot outta my face...

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks, Duncan! Yeah, a little common courtesy would do wonders for some people, still, he's got style. So I guess it's generally agreed that he'll play the villain in the comic book. Watch out, here comes Politeness Man!

Still from Valence, France

Another great portrait. I like how you have treated the image.

@Still: Many thanks, Still! I really liked the blue in the window, so I exaggerated it
