 Hi Gerry,
Have you tried converting this to B&W?  It's the kind of street scene that 
might just have a stronger? Harsher look of a tired elderly man message in 
B&W? Maybe? But it' sort of has enough going for it for a try.

Even though I like the colour very much it seems a street scene for B&W? 
Maybe??????????

And given these days and computer-Photoshop it's merely a "click away!" ;-) 
One of the reasons I like using Photoshop is for this reason. Seeing a photo 
in both mediums!

Besides, as you well know. A photograph with strength in both B&W & colour 
is the mark of a photograph that's sometimes a smashing great photo! Of 
course one must look first. ;-)

The one thing it illustrates is just how I have been feeling this past few 
weeks, always looking for a place to sit as my drive to get on with things 
and life seems ebbing away to some kind of worthlessness ! :-(

cheers,
ted
