Hello Teresat
This is one of the classic capture n from the thumbnail it reminded me "Yousaf Karsh's Rear Window"

Nicely composed and a very effective B&W conversion.
I might have preferred to clone a little top and left side (out of car focus) just to make the car and the guy at ROTs at the focal.

TFS

Hi Teresa,
Even you was tired after a long day, you kept your mind alert and captured this very nice scene seeing quickly all its potential!!
The b&W conversion is incredibly well done!
Strong contrast but sharp details. The light reveals just the heart of the matter.
You should think about exposing your photos.
Congratulations! Annie

Hello, Teresa -
Great singular moment captured perfectly! Strong contrast and very sharp. The view from behind gives an intimate, almost voyeuristic feel. Very artistic. Your Prague images are very special. I had a Skoda while I lived in Switzerland, although it wasn't pink, it was a great car.

Hello Teresa,

So glad to see that your fond memory of Prague lingers. This is a superb daily life impression of the snoozing man. Fine lighting, there is good tone and contrast, the b&w rendition is appropriate. Best regards dear!

Teresa,
Muito bonito este B&W. A forma como voce compos, com a figura humana a direita e o volante do carro a esquerda, deu um balanço especial.

Concordo com voce sobre Praga. É uma deliia de cidade e muito divertida, além de linda.

Um detalhe na foto: os carros a direita foram, provavelmente desfocados pelo PS, mas aquele que pode ser visto através do vidro, também deveria receber o mesmo tratamento. Coisa de chato detalhista.

Abraço,
Wellington

Great eye to see this Teresa, love your choice to convert to B&W too. I might have cropped up just a little higher from the bottom though .. I don't think it would have taken anything away from the shot. Great job.
I'd love to visit Prague one day!

Hi Teresat

I red your note but not understand why you've converted this to B/W while you were looking for a pink skoda!
Anyway, it is a nice and different view

Hi Teresat
The light is so well placed, lighting up the dashboard and the back of the man's head.
You have good reflections of the houses on the car.
You have another winner

Hey hello Teresat !
Prague indeed is really an amazing city. I've been there too, didn't see the skoda, but was tired too. :-)
Good idea to blur the cars, but you forgot to blur them all, as can be seen through the window. No problem.
I like the b/w expression in this image.

Hi Teresat,
Great B&W, excellent subject. However, I have a problem with the off-focus area at the top right. I think you did in post-processing but not very well. I would have left that area as it was, without attempting any blurring.

dear Teresat,
whole image is like in a dream of siesta...
in my feeling this man may be you, and your camera itself took this shot from flying positioning.
dim gray in dark space is illusionary in actual scene,
thank you,

Boa tarde Teresa,
Suas fotos são um dos hemisfério e os seus textos são o outro que formam o planeta Teresa.
Belo PB, com excelente foco. Faço só uma pergunta divertida: que ele descansava é sem dúvida, mas estava na siesta ou lia o jornal que está no colo?
tenha um grande dia teresa,
Raimundo
