Sorry Geoff but I have to ask why you've put a 25year old photo up for critique , is it one you have an attachment to or do you really want to know what we think of it because to be quite honest there is quite a lot wrong with it ( in my opinion )
The exposure is off , the focus is off , the background is distracting and the composition doesn't work .

As always these are just my thoughts .

I think what you have said is totally right, I just found it as I was going though a box and as it was one of the first shots that I took I think with an old Zenith E camera I think it was that I bought from a car boot It just made me think really as my thoughts are I still love to take picture,s
with reflection's in.

Sorry Geoff (you can be as critical as you want I won't curl up and cry not yet anyway)

Thanks Geoff for taking my comments in the spirit they were given , I sometimes find it quite hard to convey the right sentiment in this type of short message and it can be quite easy to misunderstand what may to said .

Just to let you know my Zenit-E has pride of place on the shelf above my desk but I'm very embarrassed to admit that I can't remember how to set it up properly any more .

There was nothing wrong with the old Zenith cameras they were one of the best of the bunch in there
time for a very easily usable camera for most.
