Karen and Moses

During a stop-off in Winchester on a cruise, Karen and Moses became my No. 157 strangers.

Thanks to Phil @phil_howcroft for suggesting this would look OK in b&w. I am really pleased with the light and detail. Say what you think?

The lighting is wonderful and it is a fabulous portrait. I am not a fan of B&W though ;-)

[Casablanca]

What a lovely looking couple. This really is natural, a super shot.

Good in B/W pleased to hear Karen and Moses are No 157 in your strangers list.

The monochrome tones have really changed the look of the colour image, its warmed up the subjects and added more fine detail, great effort Hazel:)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Good in monotones , it gives more emphases on the light and coldness of the day

[Babs]

Works well in monochrome, it looks chillier too.

[Merrelyn]

It works well in b&w.

[gloria jones]

I like the b&w version the best...Well done.

[Jacqueline]

It works well in B&W too!

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome portrait.

[Margaret Brown]

A lovely portrait looks nice in b & w

[Gillian Brown]

Nice portrait. Looks chilly.

[Ivan]

Very nice mono portraits. fav

[summerfield]

they are both very nice but i must admit their features look much softer in this version. i kept going back and forth and that's what i noticed. aces, hazel. aces!

[Decima F]

Fantastic portrait

[Decima F]

And I prefer the b & w rendition.

[Hazel]

@summerfield

Thanks for taking the time to have a good look and comment - appreciated!

[haskar]

I think is so best. B&W works well.

I suspect that they’re cold and tired, having become accustomed to air con on their ship. The reality of the UK's brisk weather must come as an unexpected culture shock to many foreign visitors.

A wonderful and telling portrait. Fav.
