Nice photo, Nik, and I rather like the b&w treatment. If it was colour, there wouldn't be the same mood.

Thanks.

In the first of the photos you posted the diagonal and right angles are cool, however it's the catchlights that grab me. On closer inspection the one on camera right might be a lamp? But in the other eye it appears to have been joined by two windows? In any case, that's how I see it and so it combines to create a facial expression on the verge of "I am in here. And unfortunately the outside is over there...:(" ;D
"You overestimate my power of attraction," he told her. "No, I don't," she replied sharply, "and neither do you".

The one on camera right is the front door window and a window above it, in the other eye it is joined by the windows from another room. And she is watching at the front door, waiting for my parents' car to arrive.

Ah, it's clearer now. And a lovely expression of longing. :)

Got my old mp3 player to work and this is the wallpaper that was on it.

Mine, which I changed last night for the first time, is a photo of Brian Wilson, c. 1963.

Yeah, that'a a cool photo. Think it's by Ken Veder, the same guy who did the cover of the Surfin' Safari album. :)

For what it's worth (not too much :) ) this is a photo of a print via the Adobe Lightroom app on Android.

^As opposed to using my Chinese phone (cost - 5.70 Euros ;D) to photograph some prints -

I should have thought that an avatar was supposed to represent who you are and what you stand for, not what you are opposed to. Defining one's self by opposition to something or someone boils down to acknowledging one has no personality of his own.  ;D ;D ;D

Decided to change my avatar to a composer that has meant a lot to me through these past seven years or so: Frederick Delius.

You mean this is the composer you have the most fickle on and off relationship with... :P
