I've been watching 'Hitchcock' episodes, always looking for his image hidden within. Good timing of the silhouette &sharp focus on window.

Your PP now makes the walker stand out nicely against the window - How long did you have to wait for someone to walk by? :-) CJ

The only change is that I brought up the scarf to emphasize the silhouette and then deepened the blacks just slightly overall. But without the scarf my eye was wandering all over the place too - I don't know how I could have missed that the first go-round. Glad you like it. Penny Street

For me the blokes head being centre of the watch negates the busy factor as my eye goes straight to him. Is this the only alteration to the picy Penny? Just by having the scarf show up adds a nice sense of mystery & helps him be the focal point. This may not be as obviously good to some viewers as some of your other reflection picys but for me it's one of the deepest in potential meanings especially for real ahrt luvers. Great work Penny.

okay. I'm wondering if this is an improvement.. Penny Street

Indeed it looks like the busy challenge is carrying over into several pictures in this shopping challenge. Although I don't dislike this picture it isn't my favorite of yours so far. -Doug

"not your cuppa"

TIME for tea - one lump or two?

Rod - I had to either lighten him or darken him. I still can't decide, but I'll look at them again tonight.
YB - I decided on this version rather than cropping the top part. Sorry if it's not your cuppa.

Penny - you know I love your work, but I think this one is a little bit too busy.

Wow, what an idea! Excellent "timing" in this watch-shop. DaB
Rod 13-Oct-2008 06:55
What great timing & the reflections all being up top really helps to have the bloke stand out & smack bang in the middle of the watch face too. The problem on my monitor is the the bloke is very hard to see in silhouette, can he be lightened at all to make him more of the focal point?
