Hi Bill,
A couple of things, all good. :-) Actually three. ;-)

The previous posts, the Architect & Chorus Line............... First class 
photographs. Absolutely clean in your face no wondering about what the hell 
is going on they are smack in the face great. Clean black & white, solid 
composition and the imagination of your eye to see the Chorus line is 
wonderful.

So many people post seemingly interesting photographs, but they rarely have 
the same in your face impact yours do. You capture the simple subjects 
cleanly, filling the frame with an interesting composition of the simplest 
subject, yet making an interesting photograph.

The "Rules of engagement" for example, simple subject, two people looking at 
each other and yet? It holds your attention rather than quick glance,"oh 
yeah, click!"

There is something about it that holds the attention to look and appreciate 
what may or may not be going on. But you have the "seeing ability" to see 
things and not just look at them in producing interesting photographs. 
Whereas so often pictures are posted where it merely captures a ... "so?" 
picture. And it's "click off" move on.

Keep them coming, as I'm sure if others pay attention in taking the time to 
see what you capture, they may well learn many aspects of taking a better 
photograph.

Well done mon ami.
