Ho ho ho.. its nearly christmas. But guess what? its gerry's turn for POTW..yay... Plenty of the usual suspects out posting pictures which is good. I have enjoyed some of the images from Chris (Rooz) Street visions series and there was one that stuck out for me this week, the simple timing of the shot is what makes it, for me its just a BW picture of a random store, but the position of the keeper and the reflection of yours truly is what takes it to another level for me. Congrads Chris (Rooz) you made me look longer than 15.7 seconds  and hence its my choice for the week.

Wow. That's a nice surprise. Almost as nice as a surprise as when I downloaded the file and saw that reflection. Thanks Gerry.
My last day at work for 2 weeks and its the first time I've ever been down about being off work cos I won't be taking my daily street shots. It bummed me out...how sad is that ? lol

And deservedly so! Well done Chris! I love the head on a platter and this image has some wonderful elements that string it together and makes it stand out. 
Regards

This photo is like the US SEALS, the best of the best. Heartfelt congratulations.
Also, is that a reflection of you Chris?
