"man sits on bench, vol.5"
(plus 2 on stairs) :-)

I admire and enjoy your photos. On an iPad, the EXIF data not visible. Any chance of including it in the title of the photo, for the benefit of iPad users?

Good to see you back on the 5D2!

The more sky and cement I crop out, the better I like it. The tree is beautiful. The lamppost and sun are dull. What if you crop the photo to include the tree and the bench -- plus the man and the dog, natch -- but not much else?

You should consider doing more of those "ask the fans" postings, like the one a few days ago in which you asked if the four white lines in the foreground should stay. (That one I liked the way it was.) It's fun seeing things through other peoples' eyes once in a while, although your eyes are the ones I usually want to see things through on this great photoblog.
