Thanks, buddy!Β 
You know, my favourite thing about this image is the gentleman holding an actual book in his hands, and not some tablet or a smartphone; something that is rarely seen these days, especially in cities like Dubai.Β

Damn! And here I was thinking that you've finally fallen for my dropdead gorgeous looks.
You haven't seen the last of me, Magnificent Miguel!
Ah, well... back to the drawing board.

And cheers, for your support, my friend. It really means a lot to me.

It's probably some Rosamunde Pilcher story about some English notables or aristocrats getting into an idiotic mess with all their forbidden relationships and so on.

But! But ... what I really wonder about is the sheer clarity and quality of this take, obviously taken shortly before dusk. Aperture 5.6? Shutter 1/320? ISO 3200? And you get such an awesome result?

I start to suspect that your Canon camera is the visual equivalent to Aladdins wonderful oil lamp. It's either this or that GIMP image processing thing you use!

Absolutely lovely work, and hugely cinematic in its execution, my friend!

Wow, thanks, B!Β 

Gimp or PS - as far as I know, it really doesn't matter what image editing software you're using as long as you can rock the Curves tool.
That and the dodging/burning... thingy... which is a pretty damn awesome as well. I can see why a lot of photographers swear by these tools.Β 

Rosamunde Pilcher? Never in a million years would I have imagined seeing that name being mentioned in a comment by you. Eschaton!!!Β
