Trevi Fountain

Legend has it, if you throw a coin in the Trevi fountain you will return to

Rome. Throwing it over the shoulder was added by the authorities as so

many coins were hitting the fountain and damaging it.

 

I like this picture because it looks more like a painting than a photograph

and the American lady in red was simply beautiful. Where is she now?

Great story. Very interesting toning - to isolate the woman and the red dress, it's all about her, isn't it? Great composition too.

Doc,

I usually don't like the selective color in a B&W photo, but this is the bees knees. If there were ever a time to let a candy apple red fabric take center stage, this is is. I know you're a happily married man, but did you get her name? Were you feeling the vibes of Fellini while taking this? Please tell me he helped you with this lovely shot. Otherwise, I should think I must put down my camera for all times. Regards and best wishes. Grp. Cpt. L. Mandrake

Cheers Marc and I agree, selective colour with B&W is a bit naff and is a big no-no on photo.net (they love it on Flickr Explore). However, I didn't know how else to focus the attention on this beautiful woman from your side of the pond. The untouched version is here (the picture not the lady, though I was tempted);

 

 

 

Question: Who's the woman in the Red Dress?

I have no idea who she is unfortunately. All I knew was that she was from America and had great breasts.
