Bonjour Frank,
Excellent well composed street photo! You are lucky to have a so beautiful subject! Your photo has the same class of the driver's one! Lighting and conversion are really well done! Bravo! Annie

Hi Frank,I like the plushness of the velvet in your colour
image but I do prefer the mood of your B&W image.Strong composition,I like your DOF there are no distractions from your main subject, due to it.

Hi Frank,
Very interesting shot and creation. Has an old Charle Chaplin movie feel to it, that old BW film sense.
I like this a lot, and whether luck or planning, the hand on the bowler is very cool and adds so much to the shot. (in your case, I doubt it's just "luck". ;-) )
Good work here, this is a great image.

A very interesting expression you captured here, the entire photo is very attractive, looks like a scene from an old movie. Very good PP. Congratulations!

Like we are in another era here Frank.

It is indeed lovely to take shot while wandering through the streets of a city - there are always special caracters to be seen - like here - hope he did not have to wait too long.
Good idea to convert to B&W to enhance the mood.

Compositie en keuze voor B/W : schitterend !
Heb m'n bedenkingen over de " verbetering " door er
wat noise over te gooien.
Dan misschien nog liever een licht sepia ?
Zou het resultaat allemaal naast elkaar moeten zien :
zo is dat toch maar " denken-en-gokken ".

Heb de kleurenversie ook bekeken : die is niet slecht,
maar, voor mijn smaak is deze in B/W beter.

De koets-met-z'n-kap-erop : nope ...
Bijna was het een ouderwets plaatje maar die twee " A's "
deden het de das om voor mij.

Misschien eens een uitdaging voor jezelf :
ipv, omgerekend, een 320mm te gebruiken
wat dichter komen en de andere kant van je lens gebruiken. (°)
'k Weet het : ik ben daar zeker niet dé beste in om een
lens onder iemands neus te steken zodanig dat hij/of zij
vraagt naar het merk van m'n aftershave.

(°) niet de voorkant van de lens op de body proberen te
schroeven hé Frank want dat bedoel ik niet.
LOL

Laat zulke B/W's maar komen : " die lust ik wel "
>:-)

Groetjes
Jan

Hallo Frank

This one stands out in mood
A good classic shot, school example of the fact that sometimes a B-W photo works better compared
to color

Either of the B&W images would have been suitable Frank. Like you I am a 'colour person' with the occasional venture into the 'darker' side. A lucky capture with him adjusting his hat, a good crop and the addition of the noise does indeed add to the timelessness. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comments on ‘5 minutes from home’ and ‘Autumn Fog II’. The morning of the hillside shot was, from memory, a minimum of -1C, not overly chilly.
