Great street-shot, John ! Like the framing and the mood very much ! Good Morning !

Thanks, Ulrich, and good morning to you.

What a welcoming exterior this Starbucks has. Crying out for a good graffiti artist to come along. Like the shadows though.

Thanks, Jean. Good idea about the graffiti artist. Something is needed here. Well, in my opinion a lot is needed at Starbucks. Once they took control of the market here their coffee and service declined sharply. And they've never been good at winter -- people need to warm up then but Starbucks seems to think that all they need is to buy a coffee and leave as quickly as possible.

I'm not much of a fan of any of these coffee chains. They sell products which are mostly appearance and a disappointment in the mouth. And don't start me on their throwaway culture.

Tim Hortons seems to provide most of the litter in Canada.

A well timed street candid John.........the placement of the people is spot on. I agree with Jean's comments regarding the exterior of the coffee shop and the shadows.

Thanks, Keith. As I mentioned to Jean, I have a few bones to pick with Starbucks. But maybe someday they'll realize we have winter every year.

Thanks, William.

Daring, to put all the color at the edges, mostly upper left and along the top. Interesting, too, that one figure is dynamic and the other, stationary.

Now that you mention it, I agree that the colour is an important feature. What I chiefly noted was the oddness of the colour scheme.

I like it frozen!

I used a strange name, but I will never say that.

The frozen frappuccino, is it? I've never tried it, but may now. Not a fan of anything added to coffee, though.

Beautiful street-shot. I have never seen a Starbucks like this.
Beautiful composition with the well spotted people!

Thanks, Rainer. I don;t think Starbucks should adopt this colour scheme as a model.

Great street shot, John!
