    Perfect shot… how did you get it so quiet?! love the black and white with this, fantastic!

  • lyndsey O'Connell replied

    believe it or not there was over thirty students behind me when i took this shot, it was kind of spur of the moment, but also with a slight curiosity as to why only one of us ventured near the water

    very nice monochrome. Brings back lots of memry for me as I lived in Manchester for a while. Piccadily does not look familiar anymore but I think I still recognise the old Littlewoods building near Lever Street. Well done

    it was only a day visit to manchester, and it was a really wet and rainy day, but i liked this part of it very much.

    Besides the fact it is film, and I love it, you did a great job on the composure of this picture. The low to the ground with great contrast and slight over exposed parts on the wet ground is very nice. I do enjoy this picture very much.
