Flowers....

Was taken in one of the main commercial streets of the city. I upload as well the colored version. Which one ? Thanks for your thoughts. Pnina

Both colour and b&w work for me though I think I marginally prefer the colour version as it helps the sense of warm naturalness. The image has a strong feeling of human contact and friendship. The right side could be cropped but then the orange door post intrudes so on balance I think it is best as you have it. A lovely piece of observation!

Prefer the black and white because the focus for me is the expression of the woman on the right. Its a well-executed candid with a lovely spirit memorialized.

Oh, Pnina, you really caught a wonderful moment in time.... People are really the same everywhere aren't they......Jim

Great picture,You got right into it in their mutual understanding,positive situation,well taken.

Lively details well rendered Pnina.

I go for the B&W. I agree it makes you focus more on the women and her expresion. Great capture. Happy photo. Perfect timing.

Definitely b&w - my eyes wander all over the color one, but are immediately drawn to the woman's expression in the b&w version.

I love both versions. As you know I have a predilection for B & W therefore I would choose it. However, the moment is caught so well and the expression on the young lady is priceless. Great composition and framing.

Truly a moment that as Jim mention captures humanity in its universality.

 

Well done.

All of you. I'm glad you all liked it, even I try both. I upload what I think is beter, so I'm glad you like the B/W version, Really thanks for your comments. Pnina

I really like that woman's expression, great capture . . B&W is perfect here, Pnina.

The flow of conversation is nicely captured and the the tones did not hurt either. Lovely street shot.

Really Nice !!

To all of you again for your B/W version vote, which I think is the better choice here, I'm glad you have confirmed my thoughts. Pnina

I'm with the majority on the B&W vs. color. Kim has clearly explained to me why I like the B&W better. The color actually detracts from the main subject of the shot - namely the engaging smile. My only suggestion would be to consider croping a little off the right margin. Nice choice and a very nice candid street shot!

Outstanding! Sorry, I didn't stop by earlier. Composition works and b&w conversion is excellent. Yea, Pnina.

Very good job, great capture, Pnina, I like this one. I agree about with most about the B&W version. Lovely!

Very nice. Pnina.

Ken, Howard, Mari and Ray, thanks for the B/W voting, I liked it that way too.

 

Howard, I have a good teacher... learning to look for people's expressions;-))

 

 

Wonderful! You really caugt a good moment!

Sometimes, it's almost a shame you have so many images, Pnina. Some gems get hidden sometimes. This is your best photograph I have seen so far, IMO. The tones, the expressions, the MOMENT.

Emmanuel, thanks, yes ,I have too many... LOL. I like this one as well.
