This is a beautifully stolen portrait, just as sharp as it needs to be. The image has a gentle softness about it. I love the hairs on her arm. B&W suits this shot, the composition is perfectly balanced. Nice work. CC

Hey there Cathy, thanks so much for your very kind comment. She was quite a striking looking girl when we had walked along the river in front of her, so I was pleased to see her still there when we came back.
The light was nice to pick up the hairs on her arms and some detail in her clothes, I was very happy to see this one develope as it did.
cheers, Bek

Again Rodrigo, many thanks for looking in and leaving your thoughts.
I don't often get to take candid shots on the street as the town I live in does not lend itself to that type of thing!! So I am quite happy with this one.
cheers, Bek

A beautiful image Rebecca. I like how the repeated horisontal lines are broken by the figure of the waiting lady. Lovely B&W tones too. Great work.

Thankyou so much Joggie, she was quite lovely and I felt a bit bad for stealing her portrait but did not want to ask her and risk losing the naturalness of her pose! I do not often get to take street candids as the people in my town are not as relaxed and it is hard to be inconspicuous.
cheers, Bek

It is a wonderful image Bek!
It doesn't have to be pin sharp to have great mood and atmosphere. I like it the way it is!
The B&W tones are exactly spot on as is the DOF and overall composition.
Can't fault it, hon.
Good stuff!
Hugs~
Ani :)x

Nice "steal" Bek...perfect choice (IMHO) to convert to B&W, reminds me of an old movie...very, very nice!
Take care...Robin

Hey there Mum, it's funny that you mention her fingers...for some reason her hands intrigue me, they are quite graceful.
Thanks so much for your great words,

Ani, thanks for the vote of confidence! The colour version is noice too but I certainly prefer this one. She had such a 'look' about her I couldn't resist stealing a shot.

Hey there Barn, thanks a bunch for your look and great comment. Her head scarf and pose has an old movie feel, helped along by the b&w of course....

This shot has the taste of classic Paris postcard shots...
So poetic, so well composed and so intriguing..
I love the B & W choice: is perfect!

Thankyou so much Giulio, her pose was so graceful and captivating, begging me to capture the moment.
The colour was nice, but certainly B+W was the perfect choice, happy you agree,

So did you do the true hollywood movie thing and part the shrub in two and push your camera through for that ever "stealth" shot? awesome photo...love it in b&w and love that it was stealth because that distant faraway pensive look she has couldnt be captured had she been posing for you...i like too how she's on the left, looking yonder and you've given us plenty of room to follow her look...just "gorgeous" (little britain comes to mind with that word :) )

Sandra, what a fabulous comment! I love your way with words, you let me know exactly what you are thinking, I'm not left wondering what the heck you are talking about, so thankyou for that.
No, no bushes to part, if that was the case I probably could have snapped a few more of her.
I did set the focal length in another direction, and then quickly pan around to her and 'snap', then walk away whistling nonchalantly....LOL!
cheers, Bek

Great pose and very well composed.
Funny though, the more I look at it, she seems to have an extra large hand (or a small head) ! Strange.
