Hello Steve,
No attempt to show the beauty of the surroundings in this dark view that gives a very melancholic and mysterious atmosphere.
Well taken in back-light and with good contrasts and reflections.
Regards,
Paul

Hello Steve,
Interesting monochromatic presentation. The subject is well interpreted and the reflection is increasing impact to your picture.
Well done and very good job.
Best regards,

And it could be in Manchester, by the look of it. I told you already how much I love this series Steve, the impact it has, mysterious, dark, yet hopeful too, a 100% cinematographic. Those patches of light in the houses, in the water, in the clouds. Your b/w is masterful as always. It clearly stands out in the current production in this gallery :-). So beautiful.

Take care
Michèle

Je suis d'accord, un quelque chose de très cinématographique. J'y vois également une touche chaos...

Hi Steve,
So dark, dramatic and moody, I love it. And of course the black and white just adds to this whole atmosphere. The dark silhouettes of the plane and the person as well as the wet ground and the surroundings all add a great gritty urban quality to the scene.
Regards
Wanda

Yeah I remember this one well, and I salute it again - one of the most striking images anywhere. A triumph for sure.
A fav, quoi...
