Hi John :)
Wonderful idea with the frame, what gave the effect to the three-dimensionality.
He really is serving this drink! :-)
Only to reach in order can drink your health :-)
Splendid work, TFS

You got my attention. Attractive guy, some nice wine. The blue against the white works well. Lovely outfit. The only sad part is that I had to find out I am "old". I remember seeing pictures of Soraya ( I was very small though). She was /is a very beautiful woman. I remember thinking she was the ideal woman. Very pretty, stylish, married to the sjah, obviously rich etc... It was long , long ago...

Hi John,
Funny, I don't remember being there...hmmmm. You must mean a different King! I love the out of frame look, clarity and composition of this, but next time remember to invite the King!
À la votre !

The waiter with the glasses reminds me that it was Pierre's birthday - so cheers to Pierre, to you and all the TL people here!

Brown skin, blue shirt, red wine and a nice smile - all against a white background, a good composition. the light coming in so strongly from the left wasn't easy to handle I guess. It came out well, though the image is slightly soft. I love your story! Well done. - Cordelia :) :)

hey John,

i like this pic alot very expressive it could be even an excellent material for an tv ad :)

can i correct something concerning the historical notes if you dont mind, Soraya Esfandiary was the second wife of Shah Iran(Persia) and she wasn't kings Farouk's sister but she was from one of a well known Persian familys back then(there is a movie by her name Soraya). On the other hand the Shah's first wife princess Fawzia was kings Farouk's sister.

hope this clarification is of help here :)

HI
THIS IS JUST TO CORRECT THIS
"Another detail the 'older' persons might remember: He had a Sister, Soraya, who was married with the Sjah of Persia.."
IN FACT HER NAME WAS NOT SORAYA BUT FAWZYA; SORAYA WAS PERSIAN ALSO
