Fascinating image, Roger.
Pin sharp and perfect verticals, as ever.
Best regards, Chris

Thanks, Rob. You noticed how well this lens is doing! I really love it. It's just about ideal as a standard lens for me on an SLR. On an RF I feel I need a 35mm as my standard because the viewfinder is not so accurate. Framing carefully in the SLR I get very natural perspectives and great image quality. This is rapidly becoming my favourite lens... And it has a cool, very unusual, domed lens hood.

Interesting way of spending leisure time. This brings it fairly close by. Very nice quality lens I noticed that also on the other photo.

Just took a look at the B&W. Still prefer the color portrait. It seems to get right in there and tell the story best. The city seems to be too overpowering in the B&W, taking away the irony of the situation. The portrait format allows the viewer to know there are other buildings around, but focuses in on the "fishing hole".
That's what I think...Gary

Thanks, Gary. I originally intended to put the two pictures up as a pair, which would have made more sense. Or even added the landscape mode shot as an attachment to a comment. I agree this one doesn't have the same impact. Did you take a look at the B&W view I gave the URL of? That really shows the big city context.

Roger, as you know I commented on the other view of this scene and I really like the verical best because of the reference points. While this may have more detail, the vertical (or portrait if you will) points out the irony of such a business in the middle of the city. I'd use the business idea here in California, but there is no land left in the cities. Parking lots have first priority.
