Place 4: Letting it All Hang Out
by World Traveller

I've used this picture before (so much for anonymity, sorry), but to me it's the ultimate in lunchtime relaxation.

Nice socks! Cool photo. He seems lost in his own thoughts, oblivious to the photographer.

A great catch - and on theme nicely with the feel of a businessman kicking the shoes off for a break - which can sometimes be as pleasurable as a meal in the middle of a workday!

Thank you, Konstantin and Daniel, for your comments! I've done what I could to get rid of the excess color (couldn't do much with that one side) and sqare it up a bit as you suggested. Yes, Daniel, he is definitely very Turkish -- it was shot in the extremely conservative Fatih district of Istanbul -- and of course it's City Girl under a different alias :-).

This man looks so Turkish, the image--which I can't remember to have seen before--must have been taken by you, City Girl... Right?? The expression on his face is priceless. I do agree with Konstantin, though, on (as he suggests) cloning out the colored spots on both sides or (as I'd prefer) cropping on both sides to get a square composition. Nice catch anyway! -- db.

It's good that you posted this photo, Traveller. It is really ultimate in lunchtime relaxation. The man's expression is very well shown. I only would clone out the colored spots on the left and right site.
