Hello Lakshmi,
The lady photographer is well included contributing much to the atmosphere and making an attractive frame for the café and its rather singular architecture. Looks a pleasant place to sit on the terrace and have a morning coffee whilst watching the world go by.

Hello Lakshmi,

Very animated and colorful this cafe and I see you were not the only one with a camera. Very good capture of the movement of this man walking out and the other patrons. Very nice colors and sharpness. I wonder what she is carrying in that very large shoulder bag.

Have a nice Sunday

Jacques

Bonjour Lakshmi,

Un endroit ou la photo est obligatoire et il ne manque pas de touristes avec le goût d'immortaliser leur visite. Un cadrage intéressant.

Bon dimanche

Serge

lakshmi

beautiful façade and scene of the daily life in front of it. I am not sure if I like of not of this woman with a camera in the foreground, for some reason she covered a part of the foreground but I guess it would be better without her. anyway the compo is nice, well iluminated, framed and sharp.

Hi Lakshmi,
you have caught a very vital and spontaneous scene in this framing. The woman taking photos in foreground introduces us in the tourist atmosphere of the wonderful Grand Place, which you offer us in a close-up centred on the terrace full of flowers of this nice cafe.
Certainly it is a photo very different from those that we see habitually of this square, which architecture is fantastic.
Best regards,
Josep
