Hello Ben,

Today I browsed to your gallery I found different lovely picture, beautiful gallery.
I am little bit amazed, I see the Belgian flag on the sac of the lady, Black, yellow and red.
Also the buildings in background are attractive.
Composition and presentation are superb.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice subday,
John.

Very nice, good mix of motion and stillness.

Hi Ben, I like the dynamics here, electricity and shelter while the rain falls down. That awning is perfect to divide the scene in to many segments; the light into fluctuating layers of varied activity. However most of all there is an imagination that wonders about the person under the umbrella. I like how you caught the oncoming interaction, with much behind at the same level to wonder at. Nice shot, Casper

Hello Ben,
I like this pic because:
a) nice frame given by the curtain (awning?), in the upper part of frame: you were great to include it in the frame, it gives colors to your composition.
b) the umbrella in the foreground, makes this pic lively
c) it's a daily life scene dense of details
good job!
