EYES WIDE SHUT from The library of my soul, United Kingdom
I was going to make a concise observation but I've gone all wibbly-wobbly and my mind is roaming off on a tangent. Don't know what has come over me, but ....... damn this testosterone coursing through my veins.....
Oh wait a minute, I think my composure is returning..... neat reflection of the van in the glass...... yay, you see, a man can get past thoughts of sex to deliver a meaningful comment! Ha ha

Ha...I am laughing at the comment above. Men.
Lovely shot and I would not call this "tabu" at all. Now you both have my mind wondering.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Oh-oh, that's a very attractive "tabu" :) The frame, light reflection and colors are so good - ah, what a luck to know a photographer like you Sharon : each day brings its sun***

This is a really appealing photo, with the lighting over the mannequin and the overall low-key look.

Alessandro from Calci (PI), Italy
Ha! Too bad for that van reflecting in the glass. Otherwise, the PERFECT st. Valentine photo. (PS: is it me or you're starting to use this new "color" thing more and more often?) :D

Impressive image. As they emphasize those intense red tones. The clearly dark of the showcase contributes a certain mysterious atmosphere.
greetings

Nicely captured. I particularly like the reflection of the ATM on the right side, telling a story on it's own. you can look, and if you're a guy, you can maybe drool a little, but you won't get any further than that before visiting the other side of the street first. great storytelling :D

Nicely done. There are so many good things about this image. While previous comments have highlighted many good features the thing that struck me was the list of acceptable payment types which seem to be highlighted. Nicely done.

On this particular day, no, I didn't go in.

Polydactyle from Canada
Superb. This composition is simple and effective, maybe sexy. I love the fact that you left the symbol of the credit cards right... it is also part of the taboo ...!?
15 Feb 2009 1:32am
@Polydactyle: ....ah yes! Credit cards are (an) evil (necessity)!
Thank you!

Happy V Day! I like that they accept all the major credit cards:) Lovely photo, sexy street shot? Wild
