Caterina

I took Ruby out for a very late walk on Friday Evening. It's been really hot so Jane takes Ruby early morning and I take her out once the sun is low and just about gone.

Anyway we walked into Arnold town centre rather than on the park. I took my little camera with me and did a few street shots.

This is Caterina, who was sat outside the Greek takeaway in the town centre. I went to have a chat with her, she was really pleased to see Ruby and made a big fuss over her.

Caterina is from Albania and didn't speak any English , so our conversation was a bit difficult, but I did manage to get her name and her nationality.

I assume it is her family who own the restaurant as she is often sat outside the restaurant / takeaway.

It was dusk, almost no light, so I had to really jump up the ISO

A lovely capture of Caterina and a nice story to go with it. You are so diplomatic. I'm not so sure I would have your patience with someone who couldn't speak any English.

I love all the juxtaposition in this image. The bright lights and colours of the restaurant, the incongruous purple damask tablecloths and pots of flowers, Caterina’s dark clothes and hair.

I love the perspective that matches the geometric lines of the shop. Caterina seems so small on the picture.

A wonderful shot of Caterina

Such a wonderful capture of Caterina outside the brightly lit restaurant !

[Pat Knowles]

A beautiful natural shot….like the way you look like you’ve just snapped Catarina as you’re passing….very off the cuff! She looks happy!

[Helen Jane]

she looks pleased to be having her photograph taken and I like the way you included so much of the context.

[Carole Sandford]

She looks happy sitting there!

[Judith Johnson]

Nice capture, but a pity she couldn't speak much English

Great evening shot. I enjoyed reading the story, too.
