A group of people passing by the Lacemakers Arms on Saturday morning

Edited in Rawtherapee and GIMP

Great edit I like the white of the last guys trainers. Catches the eye :)

[Graham Harcombe]

Lovely rich balance of tones. Nice subject too!

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely candid - every thing so crisp , but I wished the Pub would hang their net curtain straight and not on a slant (a woman's keen eye !! )

[Lee]

A not so common name for a pub. Good shot.

[Pat Knowles]

Great photo, the contrast of a pub called The Lacemakers Arms & this rather gritty black & white shot plus modern youth is excellent.

[Jen Hudson]

Like the black and white quality of this shot.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Beautiful shot, so much of interest!

[A]

Great street shot, I really like the contrast between the old fashioned air of the pub and the modern-ness of the people

[Dione Giorgio]

You manage to produce the most wonderful mono pictures. And this is another beautiful streetie. Btw is the place a Free House because they serve free beer?

[Caterina]

Great picture and striking b&w. I haven't yet tried your suggested software but I must do it. Fav

[Ivan]

Lovely mono image, Phil. fav Traditional house. Not so traditional people. :)

[FBailey]

And the pub should have been open then too!

[Phil Howcroft]

@ivan thanks Ivan. Old school mono tones here

great clarity and detail ... interesting shot

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

I saw this and the people walking past the pub door called to mind thoughts of the current trend away from traditional pub culture and also the reported decline in alcohol drinking in the younger generation.
So, a thought-provoking image - which is always a good thing for an image to be. :-)
