Ruud, this is a very moving image. Wonderful tones, clear and clean, beautifully & thoughtfully composed, and a poignant subject. It is perfect in B&W. I also like your choice of frame. Best wishes, Linda

So filled with emotion, without a drop of sentimentality .... that very thin body beneath too big clothes, pushing another life forwards and in the prosess propping himself up! The three marks of street signage accompanies the rhythm of the feet, and the sound of the tyres rolling on tar. Not to mention the meaningful hand printed effect of the presentation. What an image. Did you print it yourself, Ruud, or is it a photoshop technique.

many thanks for your visits, nice comments and compliments!

Bettie: I shot in colour and added black and white through 'Silver Efex Pro 2' for Aperture, from Nik Software...
