I am amazed this picture didn't do better. I thought it would be in the top 10. The contrast is perfect and it captures the time of the day to a tee. Most of the members here must not know the simple joy of a coffee and a cigarette while trying to put your thoughts together first thing in the morning.
hmmmmm, warning in Deutsch but a French title. I was actually in Paris when this challenge was going on. I think the small crop helps make this old-timey. Like a cropped, ragged old photo. Watch fits the scene. Cool photo.
