Very good use of filters here. The image is simpy fascinating. Perfect timing and composition. Also love the colors. Well seen and taken, Autumn Sky!

Delightful shot! Looks like an illustraton in a Charles Dickens novel or something.

Leo, this is outstanding and I share MFC's fascination with the way you've finished and presented it. The slightly posterised effect gives it a cartoon-like appearance which is 101% suited to the subject. - Mike

Autumn Sky, this card is wonderful! I couldn't imagine how you captured this scene. Great presence of mind to have seen and captured it, and congrats for not having been intimidated into passing up this photo-op. It's a classic! Bev

Thanks Mike, but I should tell you the story of this. This is a scene from Colonial Williamsburg and the gent was waiting for the door to open so he could start his work day. I just happened to be walking down the street. When he spied my camera it caused him to knock on the door harder, which brought him to my attention all the more (not that a bright yellow vest hadn't already done that). Well knocking didn't seem to be working so he had to peep in the keyhole. Now I ask, who could pass this shot up? :)

Autumn Sky, this is also a very nice candid. I really like how the "peeping tom" breaks all the linear elements in the scene. It really draws attention to what he is doing. Well composed and brightly lit...the filter effect is very interesting. The colonials were no less curious than we still are today :) Nice shot. MFC
