The window of a souvenir shop in the historical town of Obidos, Portugal. This town has been preserved almost as it was circa 1600, and is constantly swarmed by tourists from all over the world. This time I met a very nice Spanish couple - who asked me to take their picture which I did gladly :-), and saw lots of visiting groups - Dutch, Japanese, Spanish and English...
Not sure this will not get bashed by DNMC, let see.
Lots of levels work, USM, NI. Pumped up the red in the flowers, I think it really "makes" the shot.
Also, this is my first entry with a border...

If you decide to shoot a rather flat surface, you should make sure your point of view is exactly opposite the center of your frame. In your photograph the slight tilt (you stood on the left and shot up from below the window) creates a distracting distortion. Apart from that, a nice image which plays on the duality of words - you took a souvenir of souvenirs. That's why, IMO, it would have worked better as a B&W image.
Nice, reminds me of Italy or Greece or something, this makes me want to go there and escape the cold here, but only for a little while. Very cozy photo, like the mood in it, gave it a 7.
