Spotted

This lady was walking on the opposite side of the River Trent in Newark On Trent. I spotted her and she spotted me.

If you view large you can she she is rather striking, with a long black coat and dark glasses. She would have made a great "100 Strangers" for my project.

I've placed her on the thirds (by a crop). I should have had her on the thirds on the left hand side of the frame , therefore having her walking into the image rather than walking out.

Edited in rawtherapee with an Ilford Delta 400 film emulation and some largish contrast adjustments.

Well spotted. She does look a little mysterious. Great looking building in the background too.

[Ali P]

Love the lines and reflections!

[Nicole]

beautiful capture, she really stands out in the black!

[Dione Giorgio]

She could be scary if you meet her at night, Phil. Well spotted and a wonderful capture of her.

[Matt Clendon]

She certain has a great sense of her own identity. Maybe your paths will cross again, hopefully while both walking on the same side.

Fav - it makes an impression on me - and is also a bit worrying with the ladder down into the water!

[Phil Howcroft]

@quietpurplehaze i am pleased it makes an impression haze, the river here is really dangerous, it moves fast and is deep and cold.

@sabresun our paths crossed walking over trent bridge about an hour before in opposite directions !!

@sangwann cheers dione, she was very striking

WOnderful lines and reflection...I like the composition you have used. The background texture and window are great. WOnder what here thoughts were of you taking her photo? Nice one Phil.. fav

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous shot, yep you've been spotted! I prefer to turn my head away which would have spoilt the shot as this is so good, mind you I Don't dress like that either! .Some do when taking shots at Borough market London place their hand up which makes me smile...Why?

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Great timing, love the lines and reflections. The woman adds a bit of mystery to the shot. Fantabulous!

[Dave59]

Cool. Looks like she's channelling The Matrix.

[Annie D]

I like that she is looking at you and walking out of the image - a feeling of mystery and maybes

[Kari Box]

Wow, I love this! And I actually like how she's walking out of the image! "100 Strangers"...I'm intrigued!!!

[Kari Box]

And fav, by the way! I just love it!
