These two ladies were walking just in front of me as I was taking Mitzi for her daily walk round the lake. I was waiting for HCB's 'decisive moment' before pressing the shutter button when suddenly they slowed and half faced each other at a particularly animated point in their discussion... here's the result.
Decisive moment indeed, Richard. Nostalgic reminder of the good old days of plate cameras when we knew that one shot was all we would get on many an important assignment! FAV!
This is a gorgeous scene. This looks like a wonderful place to walk. Here if you want to go walking it's usually on concrete not so easy on the feet. I prefer the places that have boardwalks a lot easier to walk on. Fav
@trinda Well I sat on this for a couple of days Trinda because I couldn't decide which one to go with. I liked the B&W but it was a little 'busy' with all those leaves which, in monochrome, are rendered almost in the same tone: in the end it was that red coat that made me choose the colour version. (I don't much like SC so that wasn't an option - especially as I wouldn't have wanted any comparisons with Schindler's list!)
Super shot, what great timing or should I say patience on your part to wait for a moment on interest. A great pop of color from her coat, and I enjoyed reading your comments on not going monochrome on this, I have a tendency to lean towards b&w, but I am slowly realizing it is not the way to go with every shot.
Beautifully composed, wonderful depth, perfect light and perfect moment - it's all come together here Richard. It would be great landscape shot without those two, but they make it into something special. Fabulous and a fav of faves!
