'Are You Smiling? 'Is He?'

'Street people' generally carry a message of sympathy, pathos or

even hate, but not this guy who likes to spread humor. Your ratings,

critiques and observations are invited and most welcome. If you rate

harshly, very critically, or wish to make a remark, please submit a

helpful and constructive comment; please share your photographic

knowledge to help improve my photography. Thanks! Enjoy! john

I almost didn't see your critique.

So, you're smiling.

So am I.

I'm surprised this photo didn't have a much wider viewership.

Boo-hoo.

I LOVE IT.

It's the find of the month for me.

It's also a sort of litmus test, if you know what I mean; those who smile who see it vs. those who don't . . . . . it's what Garrison Keillor would say a test of who's a practicing Lutheran (written from one of the nation's centers of Lutheranism, or so it seems, a place where people are so earnest but don't seem really to have a robust sense of humor, in general (there are exceptions).

The editing error that cut off the 'G' in your name was not revealed before the editing window was closed.

My apologies for the misspelling.

This image has been changed from the original to lighten the man's lying figure to make it easier to 'see' and 'understand'.

It already shows for me in the 'large' version (double click the image to see).

If your browser cache stores this image, you may have to clear your browser to see the lightened image in smaller size, both thumbnail and reduced (resized -- PN size), if that's what your browser has stored.
