What a great shot, Tom! I was quickly browsing through, trying to catch up on things, and felt that I just didn't have time to comment right now. This image changed my mind!

Great Shot!

Thanks all for the comments. I'm gled some like it but I have to admit to old fashioned dodge and burn to bring out the tones of the mom and kids looking at their snapshots. In retrospect, the dark silhouettes look a little extreme. -tv

Looks like they are texting someone. None the less what ever is is they are doing it a great catch of a wonderful moment and I suspect it will do well in the voting. Paul A.

This is fascinating, Tom! The attitudes of each person draws my attention and yet I keep coming back to the slightly glowing family group. Very nice indeed! ~Sharon

This is just plain amazing. The figures in the background are almost surreal. And the mom and kids are perfectly exposed. And the reflections! Wow!

This is a fine, fine shot, the softness of the children's complection, in a human context against the sharp and perfect detail of the buildings beyond the glass...just super....and probably only possible with the A630 due to its natural and enormous DoF. Still superb. Wishes, Traveller
