    I really like the black and white. Very dramatic and the hint of blue which I’m assuming is from the light, looks great. Excellent image, Nancy!

  • Nancy Stafford replied

    thank you Carol.. yes the blue is from the limelight.
    it was dark in that hall at the fair.. i was’nt sure if it would turn out
    but it did.. i used a very slow shutter speed. the film i used was the ektar print.. one hundred.. speed.. I did something right.. lol
