Friends, a photo from Oxfordshire, England

Photographer's Note

I keep trying to search for atmosphere which is often no easy task.

When I spotted this beautiful moment - two friends going for a walk together - I really wished I would not spoil it and shoot at the right time.

Hello Romana
Very sympatic and somehow even romantic picture. You captured the two friends in a very nice moment and the black and white approach suits it very well.
have a good weekend

Hello Romana,
you have captured this moment very well.It is almost a tender moment. I like that you have converted to a sepia tint, it says that these are friends of long standing.
You are obviously a people person, so well seen.

Hello dear Romana,

Oh, yes, I definitely think that you have caught this moment perfectly! These two "old friends" are perfectly portrayed here.

What amazes me is your exposure - it's absolutely perfect. We can see all the details in the clothing of these ladies and in the walls on either side of them, yet the distant view through the passageway, despite being very bright, is still full of detail. And I love the beautiful reflections on the stone slabs on the ground.

Your conversion to sepia gives a lovely "old World" look too.

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Zdravo Romana.A lovely photo full of humanity. It's only when one loses someone close that one appreciates the special bonds in one's life. The sepia works well and gives the image a timeless look. Sretna nova godina draga Romana. Klaudio.
