Thanks for the comments.  I spotted the scene and wandered over.  The girl had her back to me and just about the time I raised the camera to my eye, she turned around and looked at me.  It never hurts to have a little luck now and then.... 8)

Great shot Rick!
The stinkeye from the woman does it and I like how the curved window makes the whole scene look like a card.

Thanks, Armando and Ron, for the comments.

Ron, I spend way too much time in the bars in Fort Worth.  I know all the best dive bars in town.  Sadly, one of my favorites, the 1912 Club, closed recently before I could get a chance to shoot some photos there.... ;)
