Coos, Graham, Louis, Thomas, Shawn & Hans Peter - Thank you.

 

Bill - when I saw the hat I knew I had to take the shot.

 

Peter - Thank you.  After reading your comment I went back to the original image to see if there was enough there to salvage, but there was not--far too much clipping.  I guess I should have taken my fast shot (this one), and then seen if I could have fine tuned a better one.

I thought that I might be able to overcome the clipping issue Peter pointed out via cropping.  It works but I think the original composition may be stronger.

Simpler is always better. The cropped final product has a "painterly" quality that I find attractive. Well done, Stuart.

 

That book 

Valley of Genius: The Uncensored History of Silicon Valley

is very popular right now.

The lighting works very well, I also like the detail of the well readable book title.

Difficult to choose - for the first, I like the contrast of the brightly lit foreground to the black background, where the only parts with tonality are emphasizing the lady, her hat and book.

Strange way to get an idea which book to buy, my travel focus has moved, while I have set the second hour hand on my watch to PT rather than UTC +8 recently.

Much prefer the cropped version. I like the new diagonal composition and now that the book title becomes more of the story it is much more interesting and intriguing than any simple window shopping picture could be. I'll even forgive the clipping on the hat...
