Before Christmas I took a day trip to Manchester to see how Liverpool’s rival does things. I’ve got to say that they do things well. I guess Liverpool just doesn’t have the space for such a large scaled Christmas Market, which is a real shame because it works so well. I met this guy and his friends who had clearly come in to town for the amtosphere. Mulled wine, German beer and all sorts of continental food to sample. The minipancakes covered with chocolate syrup were worth the trip alone. Thats a subtle hint Liverpool City Council.

    I liked the hard contrast; which made the portrait powerful. Fine details in the image.

    “Dumbledoor’s in Town” Very expressive face and great detail that you have captured.
