I'd like to have seen the camera angle a little different (a few degrees to your left)....cutting the woman in half, including her face, and cutting the edge off after her reflection in the window (perhaps using a slightly wider zoom setting).
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Apart from a little cropping all around to remove the paint tin and the (lady) I think you've caught the chap quite well. Cheers Vic

I say leave the paint tin as he's got paint on his trousers - all ties in. Would have preferred to see more of it, and the woman ignoring him.

Looks like Penzance?

Dan, I take my hat off to you! How could you possibly recognise Penzance from this image : I'm greatly impressed

Cos that's my dad and he lives in Penzance!

Not really. It was just because you were shooting from very low level - either you were lying on the floor, or standing on the street looking up at the raised pavement. And Penzance is the only one I know of.

Actually, I think it's outside the Abbey - top end of the Terrace, opposite Humphrey Davey Statue?

Time for a new type of photo competition:- pin-point the exact location!

Lilly, you are spot on

Dan, if i'm going to be picky, it's at least 150 meters up from Jessops, but you win for spotting it was Penzance in the first place

When you're coming all the way from Essex, that last 150 metres is 'just' up the road.

Haven't been there since September last year, had the feeling Jessops was fairly near the top of the High Street - good enough reason to come back to Cornwall, just to check on your measurements!
