David Small (Not A Movie Set) - At first I thought New Orleans but it looks a bit too rustic for that. Does that gentleman lower left have any legs? The curb, balcony, roofline and post seem to be dividing the image into quarters but the camera angle is not square to the curb so everything tapers to the left and I don't get square edges to the four sections. Next week I'll likely find my comments here too anal and take it all back. I do like the collection of shapes formed by the curtains, windows and people. I also like how the two people are in a vertical line. It gives me the impression they are both unaware of the other person. It gives me a sense of omnipotence being aware of both of them at once while they are only aware of themselves.


Greg  thanks for taking the time to do a review. It's not New Orleans but Hot Spings Ark. I get the impression that you think this was a setup shot. Actually it was a grab shot, no time to fiddle with lenses to make sure everything is aligned. In an enlargement the lower guy does have legs.
