Takes me back, this could be a branch of Gilbert's in Hampshire before their demise... I can smell the atmosphere.

Brilliant use of dof, colours, composition. I have been studying it for ages!
Val
I like the way the bookcase as squeezed in for you! Works well.

A well spotted opportunity and a very original composition Phil. Congrats on the awards.
Derek
Many congratulations on the POW, best decision Pete has made in a long time.
Moira
Would love to see this in Black And white .. very good use of DoF 
Very well Done
I like to think that the store assistant is your pilot as highlighted in the book titles.
What an off the hip shot!
Hello, new to all this, even had to look up what you meant by DOF. I love the picture for the atmosphere it produces. If I had seen this pic I would have wanted it all in focus, do you think this would detract from the picture and its atmosphere?
Many thanks for the UA Strobe

No, the atmosphere would be the same i think, but the difference in focus adds to the 'depth' of the image perhaps...some times photography can be about creating a 3d perspective out of a 2D media
now that sounds like i planned it all..ha ha 
thanks all
