Looks like he's just taken his paw out of a nuclear reactor

Haha, a look of utter disdain!

Big Like for this one. Sharp, nice depth, lovely window light, three quite distinct people subjects and I like how you've used the two pillars to reinforce the comp.

Haha, I think she's just about to call the cops as you lurk with camera behind the pot plant! Beaut. exploitation of the glass counter-front.

It might be a quickie, but there's plenty to interest. Shelves, lights and counter front all lead into the frame where we can examine the customer and then move on beyond the big windows to the outside world. And very nice how the light is cutting across it all.

I'm beginning to think you have a special artificial Sun on wheels that you are able to position at will with your subjects. Another lighting classic - the tones could refer to Charlie's own twilight, but his pose reflects renewed energy.

Lighting rules here. comp and detail also very nice.

I think of our old dog, I have had close relatives I miss less than her. They become family members for sure.

Good to hear he is doing well, sounds like a faithful companion. Long may he bark at people!
Lovely light too by the way.

Nice looking café. You can tell it's orchid season! Well executed, when I try shots like this I always blow out the what ever is outside the windows, they always look like someone just set off a small nuclear device just outside.
