I like the sepia treatment of this subject. I feel it could easily represent a time and moment captured in the past.

Well done shot. Nice placement of the lamp post really adds interest to the shot.
Thanks Doug and Larry!
You guys are liking the same things I like about the shot! :-)
Cheers!

As I look at this photo, I cannot help but wonder: "Which way should I go?" I love good wine and, as any of you can see, I love good food. You really put me in a pickle on this one, Mr. Armer.
Sepia is the perfect media for the hot. Good job, as usual.
Thanks Patrick!
Luckily there are no bad choices here!
Cheers!
Barry
