  2. I was just there a few days ago and recognize this scene. Beautifully captured. The bench placed a bit diagonally adds some interest. Well done!

  6. Great perspective and color. That habit of tilting the viewer's look at the subject is one of your hallmarks, I think.

  7. Lovely, Karin. I was reminded of Union Station in downtown Chicago. Something about the weary resters on the benches...
