Very expressive the first one. The person controls the room. Great graphics.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Ha...! She did indeed need one... :-) Now the café has changed again, with new persons and owners. I've followed many changes in that café since I was seventeen... :-)

Fantastic images!
Love the crisp with just the right amount of depth of field
First shot has a strange look of the out of focus man to the left side
Peter Cook I would crop square...
