I chose this image by zafra52 because it has a nice ' French' look, or style about it. It's a complex image but the composition sits easy and invites a good look. But who is that there in the bottom right-hand corner? And is that a mobile phone that he is using? Is that.......sacre bleu....the photographer?

Looking at the three primary people in the reflections, you can't help but notice that they are all probably using their #devices!

Nice image and good selection.

Oui, mon ami c’est moi et ...thank you for selecting my picture. Merci beaucoup. I began to sound like Hercule Poirot.
I believe we all were using our phones. I started by checking my messages and I noticed the two ladies inside the coffee shop having a morning coffee together, but each in her own world. I liked the reflecting image in the shop window of the third person looking at his phone (taking the picture) and the other side of the street. I could not resits to take a candid picture.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
