Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Very, very classy...Do you ever have a bad photo day? You're sooo good! Even if I try to decipher the look, I can only say, there's class, and gorgeous blend of colours, the people, the architecture, you put it all together and make it phenomenal. It looks sooo simple, that' how good it is!

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine......I've been working a lot on trying to make my photos look simple so that's a really nice compliment you made!
@tom: Thanks Tom....'street' photography is my favourite but the only problem is that I'm not that good at it it and I don't actually live in a city :-).......apart from those two problems I do practise whenever I get a chance!
Nimrod from Tel Aviv, Israel
What I like about this picture is the lighting and colors (or perhaps what you have done to soften the light here). However, I still don't understand how you did not get any reaction from this lovely couple. They must have noticed you.

@Nimrod: Ahhh, the light!....this was taken in Paris at Christmas time and the colours were deliciously soft and warm.
As for the invisibility part of your comment, it's something I've been working on and I'm thinking of taking out a patent on the technique :-)....hey, if it can work with someone my size it can work for anyone....maybe I'll be a millionaire this time next year LoL!
Seriously though, this couple were in their own little world and I could have been wearing a clown suit and blowing a horn and they still wouldn't have noticed!

Great shot again! Great composition, light, colors. Looks like a beautiful day for a walk.

My technique, on the rare occasions when I get a chance to be anywhere that I can take street shots, is simply to be obvious --so obvious that everybody sees the old guy taking photos and ignores him. You're consistently posting some of the best photos on here.

Very nice shot. It actually looks like a painting at first glance.
