I like the cigar-in-the-mouth-of-a-gangsta look of this one, but, because of cropping, it is lower than 1600 pixels. Enjoy your halloween weekend. #1198507

I like both of them...what great photo ops!!! Very unique...and very well done. And I got a kick out of the titles you gave each of them as well. Great work, Marty. #8088155

Here's lookin' at you, kid! Don't you just wonder what's going through the minds of the subjects on the other side of the lens? I love the cigar guy -- straight out of The Sopranos. Both of these shots are great! #8088206

Fabulous underwater capture...I too like both of them.

I am so behind in commenting...came home from Indiana sick as a dog, thank goodness I wasn't sick while there. #8088350

Very well presented....
