A picture with character. Beautiful how the city looks in that window frame. A photo in a photo, I should call it. I wonder what the man is thinking about. Is it his lonely job ? I don't know, but I think it is the best element in this photo. Excellent capture. Fav.

agree with Martijn... love the idea of frame within a frame... jake, another great photo from you... well done my friend!

Poulet...As we were walking around the museum, this gentlemen continued to just stare out the window....not paying much attention to the patrons in his area....We will never know his thoughs but it was obvious that his mind was a long ways from the museum.......

Linny..thanks so very much...this photograph was taken several years ago with my first digital camera but I think the "noise" that appears in the photograph adds to the mood I saw in the man....

Seamus..thank you so very much....I'm glad that you saw the atmosphere that I was trying to capture...it's so nice to have an image tell a story without words...Thank you for your wonderful comment.

Martijn...thank you so very much....your observation was my intent of taking the photograph....I'm so thrilled that others have wondered the same thoughts I had when I saw this man.

Botticcelli....good morning..thank you so very much for you comment. I was a bit worried about this contribution....I took this photograph several years ago with my first little digital camera. I was looking through some of my old stuff and this photograph keep catching my eye and the thoughts I had when I took the photograph....

a fine capture - most of the gallery guards that I have seen over the years appear to have been very bored or maybe its just a standard gallery expression :)
