Hermes is the god of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves, and known for his cunning and shrewdness.
With him on your side, windows of opportunity is looking good.

This is a more mordant social commentary than the Chow Tai Fook picture. The world of understated elegance and luxury is behind a thick marble wall and can only be glimpsed through very small, glassed in windows. Outsiders are allowed only a peek. But your eyes captured it and for that, bravo!!!

Really good.
Just perfectly done, a moment caught at the right time.

Simple but intesting image! Three boxes can be three windows to look into ourselves and our souls.. Some decided to ignore it, as if there is something inside they don't want to see and know.. Some are so curious about what is inside, they are the ones always trying to discover something new about themselves, life is an advanture for them. And some people 's boxes haven't been discovered yet.

Take it back to reality, I find it is quite amusing that woman's handbags were displayed in the boxes, but the woman in the picture shows no interests in them, while the man is the one to be attracted here, but in fact, we are not sure what is really inside of the middle box, which keeps us wonder..

Very, very well done. I'm speechless. So simple, yet so compelling.

Great shot. For one, the window is open. For another, it's closed. And for someone, it's a missed opportunity (empty window to the right). Well done!

Hermès, the messenger of Zeus, give me this message :"You will smile"... and I do!;)

Excelent Kal. Such stark contrast!

Bitterly ironical and very effective. Maybe the lady is more realistic, she decided to give up looking for opportunity into the small precious windows, but to come back to life, whatever it is...
