Photographer’s Note
A street scene in Dublin - in an otherwise still scene the only movement was the woman on the left playing with her foot in and out of her shoe. This is a busy pedestrian thoroughfare near the Halfpenny Bridge but she was oblivious to everything around her in her concentration.

Well observed, amusing daily life shot. Good the way the well lit subjects are shown against the shaded backdrop.

Very nice one Kev, I like the opposition between the statues and the girl. Nice sharpness, and good croping. Really well made. Pity her trousers is a little bit over exposed, but it's maybe my screen. Well done !

Hi Kev
The strong contrast, sidelighting & graphism work well together in this image. I also like the juxtapositioning of the statues & the woman on the left.

Lovely photo. Nice to capture someone sitting there with "The Hags with the Bags". The BW works very well with this scene.

Bonsoir Kev.
Je visite ta galerie et cette photo me palit beaucoup.
J'aime beaucoup les oppositions, les contrastes qu'elle marie.
Contraste des postures des statues et de la jeune femme, contraste des couleurs et des textures de ces personnages.
Le B&W est bien choisi, la lumière correspond tout à fait.
Beau travail.
I was visiting your gallery and this photograph is very nice. I like very much the oppositions, contrasts which it contains.
Contrast of the postures of the statues and of the young woman, contrasts of the colors and textures of these characters.
The B&W is well chosen, the light corresponds completely.
Good job.

This is a great shot of the 'Hags with the bags', i often found it funny to see people sat next to them oblivous and wondered how many conversations those ladies had listened in on. Wonderful composition.
Nice one!
Jules
