Clean Break, one is a focus stack of 4x images at F8, the other a single image at F14, can you tell the difference?
Both done in Affinity 2.

Here's my take, really like this one - beautiful image.

We just call them 'Shopping Centres' here (U.K.), but it's the same story. Here's the smaller of our two local ones on a Wednesday Afternoon in October last year around 2.00pm.
When you consider this Centre is a cut through between different parts of the town and still has no footfall life is short. In fact plans are afoot to provide housing here.
People want touchy feely stores then rush home to save a few pennies on Amazon et al. I think they'll miss them when there's no alternative.

At least I can pick a winner, even if I don't do so well myself. I struggled with this one.
I think UTMike has done wonders with this to draw out the detail in the way that he has. Envious.

Really wanted to find an 'old' style diner when we did our tour but never found one. Proper chips would have been double bubble.

While it's most unlikely you possibly has too high voltage like 240V instead of 120V.
That'd blow it the first time you used it - not several months down the line. Interested to here the cause.
Is the microwave from a branded source?

It was caused when a flight attendant (who was serving meals in the cockpit) accidentally pressed the switch that caused the pilot’s seat to move in its track, thereby pressing the pilot forward onto the control yoke and causing the plane to dive. Wonder how quickly the media will retract their rush to judgment?
Air Stewedesses fault? Jeez! I can't do that in my car. And that didn't cost £25+m
I'll give that the reporting was a bit loose, but that doesn't get Boeing off the hook.

He resembles an English piano player who plays a public piano at an English train station. He always wears sunglasses. It's probably not him, though. The hair color is wrong.

Unbeliveable! You ought to watch this not so much for the piano playing but for the gall of the Chinese contingent who were happy to film others, but not be filmed themselves. Seemed to me they wanted Chinese standards in London. Some of the follow up TV interviews are worth a watch too.
But if you hadn't linked this, Jerry, I wouldn't have of it.

You do not have memories of water fountains in school or public ones that were used for years by huge populations? Or, a bunch of boys (or girls) sharing a garden hose on a hot day? I drank from those for years as did all my friends. I do not recall anyone getting sick. Yes, I do know there are viruses in society that did not exist then.

More a case of we're living too clean and don't know how to fight these things. Hard to see a kid with dirty hands these days.

A fine set, but #3 really does it for me.
