Photographer’s Note
I caught this image of a silhouette from inside a Berkeley restaurant, facing west as the sun was lowering in the sky. Because the sunlight was so extreme at this hour, the restaurant staff pulled the blinds down over the windows. This created silhouette images of all the people walking by in front of the restaurant. I caught this image of a woman or young girl as she walked by. It seems as if I captured a bit of her spirit as well.

Cool shot, Jose. Very intriguing.
The empty interior annex atmosphere are definitely very Hopperesque (see Edward Hopper, my favorite painter). I see an excellent shadowplay, great management of light and excellent timing too, in catching that woman silhouette passing by.
Good job!
Hugs,
F.

Hi Jose,
Bit of a spooky image. Deserted restaurant, eating your lunch and than that creepy kid scares you! (:
If you photograph it, is stays with you. Otherwise its gone. I'm going to get me a pocket camera. TFS, Gilbert

Hola José Luis, es una hermosa foto, llena de detalles, y la composición muy bien elaborada porque la mirada entre tantos objetos te lleva inevitablemente a decifrar el título de la foto... por ello creo que tu perspeciva para esta foto, tu criterio al encuadrar fue extraodinario.
Abrazos...
