I thought perhaps the object sin the lead image were from your own private collection - copies of your torso and favourite charger.
As for Juliet courting Romeo - I can only say, 'Bravo, Juliet', or as we say today, Juliet Bravo...but that's a totally different tv series...

An interesting opener for this set, Dave. The processing suits the subject matter, very well.

A fascinating set - the lead is very impressive both for the subject and the quality of the image; it's a lovely shot, not least because of the point of view which makes for a memorable composition.
(Having said that I don't fancy the chances of the horse in the 3.30 from Newmarket. Furthermore my researches have revealed that the Juliet balcony is named after Juliet Balconie the famous trainer of legless horses and agent to a number of headless jockeys. She rose to prominence in the reign of Sextus Sextus O'Matron the half Roman, half Celtish caretaker emperor who stood in for Nero O'Flaherty Tiberius while he recovered from an excess of just about everything. It was her habit to stand on an improvised platform cantilevered out from a first floor window to shout encouragement to her underlings. All was well until some chap called Romeo Alpha Tango turned up, cried out, "What blue light from yonder window flashes?" and completely turned her head. This was unfortunate as she could no longer see what she was doing and fell off the balcony into his open top chariot and they both got carried away. Both considered the sixth month sentence for 'that sort of thing' in a public space a bit steep but well worth it.)

Pleased to be number 30; disappointed that I can't begin to match Graham's comment. I must do better
A first-rate b&w, the light just right.

Sincere apologies for a serious omission in yesterday's necessarily brief history of Juliet Balcony and Romeo Alpha Tango. I should have mentioned that as the unfortunate pair were led away from the dock Juliet was heard to shout out, 'Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it in for me'. I am still trying to discover the origins of the command. 'Don't tell him Pike.' Any help as regards this matter gratefully received.
