Mysterious Stranger

This black, trench-coated man with a black, wide brimmed hat and sunglasses, strode out of the Cake shop on a mission. It looked like something out of Sherlock Holmes! I was looking for a B&W opportunity and it fitted this scenario!

[Kathy Burzynski]

I love this! The tones on this is perfect too

[Maggiemae]

@tonygig Tony, thanks for your compliments! @happypat what we originally thought, laughingly at first then mysterious sounded so much more provocative!

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie Yvonne thanks for your fav! This guy actually went into the local paper office, never to be seen again! Further investigation is needed!

[Peter de Graaff]

Was his name Sherlock?

[Maggiemae]

@peterdegraaff Investigations are proceeding!

[Mick]

What a wonderful shot - maybe a bit silly as it's on the other side of the world but I think it somehow has a Parisian feel to it?
