Grafitti and a Vespa in Urbino, Italy.

Facist graffiti and an old Vespa near the university in Urbino,

Italy.

Needs more of Vespa I think!... We love to see more Vespa! We love Vespa! :) Tkae care

Needs less graffiti! ...we don't like graffiti! we hate graffiti! ;)

Hey Bill, It seems like the vespa is turning around to look at the graffiti. Were you thinking about it that way? Nice. Thanks for your comment by the way.

This picture has a story of his own..

In spite of fascist graffiti I find this photo really well done!

Your B&W image has excellent tonal range, Ansel Adams would be proud! Good graphic detail. I think the association between the graffito and Vespa spell Italy.

FANTASTICA!

...a masterpiece!!!!!!

Ciao

Excellent black and white work...just excellent.

Thank you, Jim. Another of my personal favorites. You'll note that the manipulation box is unchecked here. The grafitti was there and the vespa. It's a true scene, but the grafitti wasn't noticeable enough so I enlarged it a bit. Over the line?

 

I like this because I "SAW" it in B&W from the beginning. Far too often, I go to B&W as a result of a failure to capture color and light adequately. I feel that I too often use B&W as a cover-up for my screw-ups. Don't get me wrong. I love it and want to do more of it and be better at it. But, it's still rare that I really plan and see a shot in B&W from the beginning.
