...it´s a woman´s world... Photo

Photographer’s Note

...unlike my first and second ghosts of the downtown, this time the camera was handheld...

...strolling through the main square in Žilina, my hometown...evening approaches, terraces are full of people...beautiful near-summer evening.

Photo is not adjusted or processed (only cropped and colours), it is only longer time used for passing people with result I rather like...

Žilina is a city in north-western Slovakia, around 200 kilometres (120 mi) from the capital Bratislava. It is the fourth largest city of Slovakia with a population of around 85,000, an important industrial centre, the largest city on the Váh river. Žilina lies at an altitude of 342 metres (1,122 ft) above sea level and covers an area of 80.03 square kilometres (30.9 sq mi). It is located in the Upper Váh region at the confluence of three rivers: Váh, flowing from east into south-west, Kysuca, flowing from north and Rajčanka rivers from south, in the Žilina Basin. The city is surrounded by several mountain ranges...

Hi Ivana,
Zilina is also twinned with the city of Nanterre in France, just next to the city where I live!
It is ghost's photo which I prefer between the three.
Colors are warm, there is an attractive centring. I like this unique foot and this ghost who gets lost in the shop window.
Well done! Have a nice WE
Diane

hi Ivana,
the moment I read the title all I could thin about was this song (which is one of my all time favourites) :) and I think the photo fits the mood of the song, the handbags in the window, the high heel of the shoe - what can be more feminine than that :) interesting shot, I like it a lot.

best,
Kristine

Hi Ivana
Well spotted and congratulations to have a sharp picture with such a low speed.I like the colours indeed, and of course the blurred woman who has no time to look at the charming mood. Of course, this ghost is located where we are waiting her.
Take care
CLODO
