Fallafel.

Two Jews and a falafel shop. If the signs were not in French I would have guessed Israel.

If you occur to visit Paris ,do not ever eat Fallafel from this restaurant ,he made the worst Fallafel that I have ever tested ,they are bulky ,doughy ,cold,and tasteless ,I have filled my stomach with bread and the salad ,and left the Fallfel with only one bite, and the dish cost me 13 euros.

Hi Saad,

Technically spot on my friend.

A very good balance between the clarity level and the contrast exhibited here.

Best Regards, Mike

 

A very nice black and white result, Saad!

 

Well composed B&W street shot!

The guy on the left is eying you suspiciously or maybe he's simply having trouble digesting the fallafel you described.  :-)  The store window backdrop and the lighting put me in mind of a shot I took about 50 years ago but yours is sharper and has more contrast, probably due to more modern technology in cameras & lenses.  (even more likely, my inexperienced hands at the time)  How do you 'break the ice' if some stranger you are shooting seems to object to that?  I've often thought that supplying them with my email address and promising to send them a copy might do the trick though I've only done that once or twice.  Happy New Year & I'll get back to you in 2014.  Best, LM.

Thank you for your comments and inputs,they are greatly appreciated.

 

Merry Xmas ,and happy new year to you ,and all of yours.

Best regards and a Happy New Year, Saad!

An intersting scene with great B&W balance & tones ... Kind regards

He, on the left, is Lubavitch.  They are an "outreach" sect of Orthodoxy.

Hi Saad

 

Nice bw street result. Good sharpness and adequate brightness. Good work!!! Congratulations. Roldao

This photo may be too good for a restaurant that serves bad falafel.  By the way, I make pretty good falafel.  The secret is the peanut oil - gets hotter without scorching, so the falafel stays crisp.

very good Street shot

The technique and hues are excellent

Thank you Ahmet, regards.
