Hello Richard & Walter. Indeed, a focusing on the chair, right most of the picture. It's nice to have it done in B&W, it helps reinforcing the "street shot". Smoking at the terasse of a cafe is the only place left where you can have C&C (coffee & cig). Indeed the gentleman seems a bit tense but it may be because his mobile phone has not battery left. GSM network is far more addictive than anything else :) For a 4/3 camera mounted with a 105mm, hand held, it is quite a performance ast the focus on the chair proved the stability! Where and what are the circonstances of this picture? --------------------------------- Xavier F.
