Hi, TLers,
With this shot the original of which you can see in my TE gallery (http://www.trekearth.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=913618), I'm telling you "Goodbye, from Haskovo" and I'm wishing you a pleasant WE
Shoe shiners are so common in the Orient and Brazil.
Remember? Brazil Railway Station? The film?
Well, it's not Brazil.
See you from my home city Varna where the sea is inviting and the breeze is cooling:)
Lovely WE
Enjoy it

Hi Valeria
very nice work in old effect
great in light and sharpness
ciao
Lucio

hello Valeria
how are you doing?
nice POV of this shot
one thing which i always see in your shots that they take me always in late 60s and 70s. your photographs have these kind of effect, i do not know is this because of the speia or BW tone or its the composition.
like in this particular shot, men are wearing clothes which i have seen in old photographs and the ambience looks a little old.

wonderful composition friend.
keep cliking
God Bless You.
regards

Hello Valeria
I think the effect you have created here makes this shot look timeless... Nice idea.. I also like how the fence leads us into your photo..

This looks really like oldies with B&W and the way it is composed showing a car of squarish-shape. Nice work

HI Valeria
Your processing of this urban life shot makes it look like it dates back many years, from the car which looks like it is not recent and black shoe shine boys is really something from the past.
Very good shot and a safe return home.
