First Encounter

The beautiful black and white aided by the grazing light enhances the almost three-dimensional texture of the wall , ciao Giangiorgio

Hi Patrick,

 

I'm torn between two (actually three) things here drawing my attention: the shadow of the lady on the bridge and the texture on the wall mentioned already by Giangiorgio. They surely can coexist, but maybe including the starburst of the sunlight is unnecessary, even if it shows the source of light. I really like the perspective, the tones and contrast. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Giangiorgio, thank you for the nice comments. Much appreciated, Patrick

Thank you Vincent for the constructive comments. I am going to try and clone or crop out the sun rays and see how it looks. Best regards, Patrick

Patrick, this is a terrific, high contrast black & white image! I really like the strong elements of the wall and the guardrails drawing my eye to where they converge. The pedestrian really adds to it as well. Good work! Todd

Todd thanks for the encouraging comments. Best regards, Patrick
