Another try at a black and white photo . . . this time a street scene, which is also new and different for me. This project certainly does have a way of pushing you beyond what you're accustomed to . . . and I'm enjoying it!

Great street shot

[Tunia McClure]

I like the repetition of bikes on the left, middle and right.

[Gayle]

@bkbinthecity Thank you, Brian! :-)

[Hiro]

Gayle, this is great! B&W works well here. I'm also quite new to street photography but I'm really enjoying myself doing it too :-)

[Gayle]

@tunia Thank you, Tunia! More and more bikes just kept appearing in my viewfinder! :-)

[Gayle]

@hiro Thanks so much for your comment and fav, Hiro! Very much appreciated! :-)

[Kate Goring]

It's great to see you embrace this project. I applaud your efforts to do things out of your comfort zone. Wonderful street shot. I really like the couple walking together in the distance.

[Gayle]

@kategoring Thank you so much, Kate! I appreciate your very nice comments! I really like that couple also! Adds a nice touch to the image! :-)

[Helen Jane]

I need to take a leaf out of your book Gayle, and try some scenes that have little initial interest to me. I keep walking through town and thinking.. there is nothing to take! Well you have shown me that it is possible. The leading lines up to the walking couple definitely make this picture.

[Paola]

It's a great mono photo!

[Helen S J]

Works really well in mono - great shot

[Richard]

Nice street scene Gayle! And it looks great in B&W. There are certainly plenty of great street locations in San Antonio!

[Gayle]

@helenhall Thanks for your comment, Helen! I'm definitely discovering that it is ALL possible. :-)

What an excellent mixture of people you captured here! It's a nice look at "Main St USA"!

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely b&w image. Nicely taken and I like that you've captured the guy cycling past the rental bikes as well as the couple walking away, arm in arm. Nice.

[Colleen Culhane]

Nice B&W. That's a lot of bikes!

[PhotoCrazy]

Wonderful street pic!

Very nice comp and pov and lots to see. The b&w works perfectly to emphasize the many shapes and elements.
