After a day of reading the Sunday papers and the accounts from Paris I can't help thinking of loss.

There is a lonely feeling to that single bicycle. I wonder if someone propped the bike there, ran into that door, late for some appointment.

Lovely detail and play of light.

I couldn't bring myself to "read" or view" news... Knowing what I know is difficult enough, and my heart is with those who have lost too much...

[Tunia McClure]

Lonely needs to be in b&w. Great capture.

[Rachel Withey]

The light and shadows are great in this

[Call me Joe]

What a peaceful looking image, love the shadows.

[Richard Sayer]

This is the sort of image that everyone can relate to - the stories will be different but the emotional elements to illustrate many stories can be found here... sensitive monochrome.

[Milanie]

The composition speaks volumes as they say - beautiful - and so perfect for your b&w version in light of everything that's happened. Love your shot.

[Taffy]

@vignouse Your comments are so thoughtful. I really appreciate how you framed this as it is what I was trying to do, but couldn't word it nearly as well.

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page and the PP. Well deserved.

[Brigette]

wonderful shot - that also reflects your sadness about the Paris event... quite reflective...

[Sebastian Gritt]

Bravo, Taffy. Sensitively done.
