Happy belated Birthday! Wonderful image ... I quite like the comp and tones ....

My goodness, I have been out for a week and I come back to see a whole set of new wonderful pictures. Happy belated birthday, Antonis! Great picture. The lines and perspective and the newspaper all seem to lead your eye into the scene.

Oh, I missed your birthday. Hope you had a happy day, Antonis.

An excellent shot for your birthday Antonis. I hope it was a happy one.

Susanne		06-May-2005 00:33
Ops, I missed your birthday!!!! Happy Birthday Antonis. Very awesome picture. I love how that structure to the one side is tilted, or appears that way, it gives the entire image an interesting placement.

Guest		05-May-2005 21:01
Happy birthday for yesterday (yes I'm usually late). Great capture - no time to waste!

Guest		05-May-2005 10:46

Guest		05-May-2005 06:12

In modern Athens such pictures bring us back older memories and eras!

Excellent Antonis, like the way he is reading that paper whilst having his shoes cleaned. Wonderful image!

laine82		04-May-2005 22:24
Antonis I hope you have a wonderful birthdy !! More great candids than I can handle here :>)

Guest		04-May-2005 21:07
Antonis, first at all, I want to wish you to have a great birthday and hundred of years more to live and for us to enjoy such a great talent you have with the camera. God bless you! This is another great image by yuo. Very enjoyable. Here in Veracruz whenever I can, I`d try to go to "El cafe de la parroquia" A traditional Cafe here, where being there, sit with a coffe on the table, your newspaper reading and a shoe polish, makes a great morning!! Again, Happy birthday!!!

Tor		04-May-2005 21:06

Cliff		04-May-2005 18:12

A great scene captured!

Everything looks right in this portrait. I hope I can learn by looking at your images every day. Happy Happy Birthday Antonis. Enjoy your special day!

Guest		04-May-2005 16:35
top class "wide" portrait. another masterpiece Antonis. bravo. ciao Andrea

northstar37		04-May-2005 16:34
He looks barely aware of the shoe polish man.

Gary Winters		04-May-2005 16:33
I love how you managed to get the angle of the wall behind the shoe shiner to be parallel with the man's leg. At first I thought there was some sort of distortion due to a wide angle lens, but then I realized the wall "leans over" like that. And let me be the first (here) to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
