    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 !

  • 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…

    I know the feeling…
    stay away from tour groups…
    A very clever capture indeed, Helene

  • Thank you Louise, your comments are always welcome, and yes, I run away from tour groups as much as I can…
