Check Mate

Congrats on your sale!

Dagmar, Thanks. This is one of the ones that I printed to show the Gallery owner. I was amazed at the intellectual pursuits with which the people filled their idle time. I really liked the concentration on their faces. Appreciate your feedback & v/F!

The two have all time in the world - to look at it makes me calm and feeling good - v/f

Anna, I'm glad that you have enjoyed these. I feel privileged to have traveled to a country where few of my fellow U.S. citizens have visited. It's a beautiful place.

Great composition! I love your Cuba series!

Kathleen, thanks for noticing and for your support.

Great capture. Congrats on your first place contest win.v/p

Thanks to all who voted for this image in the Cuba Contest making it the winner in the contest. I appreciate your votes and interest in helping me to shine a spotlight on the wonderful Cubans that I discovered on my trip there this Spring.

Marianne, Thanks for commenting. It was most interesting for me to see the kinds of entertainment that the Cubans seemed to choose when they had extra time. All were very intellectual pursuits.

Cheri, this strikes me as the perfect image as well !! What a perfect combination :) ~ nana

Kym, Thanks! I'm so complimented that you enjoyed the photographs as you did.

I think this is the "PERFECT" image of what I think of, when I think of a street image of a town. Taxi drivers and interactions of people, wither it be drinking coffee, playing checkers, or in this case chess...love it Cheri!

Chrisann, I am honored to be featured with "Check Mate" in the group Weekly Fun for All Media.

Karen, I'm complimented that you found a favorite in "Check Mate"

Marilene, I was very impressed with the concentration of these taxi drivers.
