ohhh wow … what a strong shot! fabulous … seems like an utterly insane circumstance … just fantastic though :)
perfect as a B&W of course, just to underline the contrasts contained in the image … you’re really making it speak !
Hélène David-Cuny replied
Thank you Tina. Just happened like that. I was trying to catch the old lady walking through the light and shadow, and when they suddenly all arrived I though, gosh, they will spoil my background and make me miss the shot ! But when I saw the picture on my computer I realized it simply had to be my first try in B&W…
