Hey, it's George Clooney time again! Who needs Christmas lights on the Galeries Lafayette when you can have gorgeous George instead?

There seems to be something of an obsession with his, but what is it with this guy? I just don't get it. I guess he's supposed to be smooth, and I quite like him as an actor, but you can have too much of a good thing, and I think we just have.

Photographically, you've got a pretty dark panel next to a mass of bright light bulbs which fade on and off continuously into the bargain to make it even trickier to get a good shot.

Basically, you just have to make sure you have some detail in both the lights and the poster, not too dark so you can't see George, and not too dark so that the lights are burnt out into one big bright blob.

What's more, there's a big bit of light blue sky in the middle which could trick the unwary's camera into underexposing on something that isn't very interesting at all - result: an average sky, dull festive lights and a mean 'n' muddy Gorgeous G. Careful!

P.S. I like the coffee, but smoothy George hasn't sold me on it yet...
