The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you
would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If
you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.

Love the shot, Raul. The story is All there in your simple straight-forward view. I especially love the cool screen light on the surfer's face, in the warm glow of the closed shop. Well-handled, it looks to me, all around.

Original picture, good colors and light, the crop is correct but it would be better not to cut the name of the cafe. Good job!
