OCOLOY Day 106: Canal St. Martin, Rennes.

Lunch with a dear friend in Rennes today and afterwards, a postprandial stroll along the banks of the canal.

As usual the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

Best viewed on black if you can.

I like the gritty look to this with all the graffiti. What better for B&W.

[maree_sanderson]

excellent

[Claes]

I was just talking about storytelling with Dominico, your picture confirms that all good pictures are filled with untold stories.

[Maggiemae]

I''m glad you after lunch was a stroll rather than a run! You would be interested in the photography side of this canal!

[Joan Robillard]

I love when you surprise me! Fav

[Paula]

Great capture!

[Shari]

Fabulous shot Richard. Great composition. B&W is perfect for this scene. Fav.

[Christine]

Interesting capture

[Margo Sayer]

Great tones and textures...graffiti, water, barriers and 3 X MS (Mitzi Sayer, Marie-Suzanne & Mrs S).

[Kevin Wallace]

Stunning image, Sir, in its depth. Really feels like a moment in time. Inclusion of ceiling adds so much and your talent sooc is inspiring. Thank you for that!

[Jules Hoogstra-Anderson]

Love the light reflecting off the water, the contrasts of the graffiti, than the silhouettes of the walkers, magnificent shot, absolutely perfect, fav!

[Karen H]

Wonderful framing of the people and great graffiti shot

[gloria jones]

Great b/w shot, framing, composition

[Ukandie!]

Nicely done, like the grungy feel!

[Dianna Coile]

Wonderful, grungy composition. I really like the crispness of the contrast here.

[Barb]

Fav - really like the gritty feel of this

[Debs Stott]

What a wonderful view and framing of the two people. But the b&w also portrays the dampness that goes along with these underground walkways.

[Frank Hymus]

All that graffiti, even in France? Normally, as you know, I'd not like the blown highlights, but they work excellently here, accenting the subjects nicely. Fav.

[Fisher Family]

A super shot - nice lighting and great leading lines!

[Disha Parekh]

Amazing light in this fantastically composed street shot! Fav of course.

[Tim L]

A good shot for the start of my 'learn to love B&W' attempt. I guess the colours of the graffitti would be distracting. A very atmospheric shot, especially with the androgynous dog-walker.

[Domenico Dodaro]

Great catch! Light, silhouettes and reflections are perfectly balanced, as the composition. I hate graffiti, but this photo is a fav, for sure!

[Margaret Obey]

Love the light and gritty atmosphere

[Tracy]

Great composition and framing. A very interesting shot to view.

[PTP: Past their Prime]

[zakc]

@vignouse It has now!

[Richard Sayer]

@zakc Good Man!

[Richard Sayer]

Thanks Tim for the follow and your comments. Both the silhouettes are women - our friend Marie-Suzanne on the left and the 'androgynous dog-walker' on the right is Mrs S!

[Francesca Ciarrocchi]

Cool!

[Rachel]

Excellent shot.

[Jasper]

This deserves the mountain of favs you've accumulated for it. Excellent image in many respects.

[Morgane]

I do not know this passage but I love the stage , trying to get as good a light. FAV

[Trinda Love]

Fav! I'm checking out silhouettes shots and this is absolutely fabulous!
