The good life indeed and the perfect capture to show it! Delightful! And I love your composition as always! You do have a way of putting it all together! Have a wonderful weekend!
I absolutely adore this image. The choice of black and white is perfect. It really enhances all the gorgeous typography. Then, those two buddies, quietly sharing a coffee together. Timeless, classic, so many great elements. The strong contrast of rich blacks and all the dancing whites, the subtle deep reflections, the No Smoking sign next to the guy smoking. One could go on and on, and I have! Cildemer said it better than me, it really is a wonderful composition!
It's winter, the guys have warm clothes, but they share a moment outside, probably to be allowed to smoke..The B&W puts the scenery out of time, it could be yesterday, or ten years ago..

nice..just to sit n relax.
Charming shot. Certainly is the good life having a cuppa with a friend.
I like it. The black and white give it a more doisneau effect. Beautiful
Perfect in black and white.
I LOVE this James! It has such a nostalgic feel to it and so much Parisian personality.
Lovely shot James...

Excellent James. This has everything - great street photography with the added attraction of reflections!
Love the atmosphere in this picture. Wonderful photowork.
James, what a perfect b/w shot of a scene so recognizably Paris and it could be any of about 10 decades!

THis is a perfect photo and black and white really adds to it.
