Hi Isabel, very intresting to see your take on this so familiar scene. Funny how often I've seen those balls, and never thought to shoot them.

Hope the trip to London went well.

Lovely photo, Isabel. Good graphical appeal with the old couple walking past the three balls on the well-textured cobblestone pavement. This just had to be in contrasty b&w, the effect with the shadows and silhouettes is nicely amplified that way.

Hope you are still enjoying your time in Europe, and have fun in Paris :)

Hi Isabelle,

This came out quite nicely...it was a little difficult to put order into this area so I enjoy seeing your attempt. I tried shoooting it from every angle possible...

I do think that the man is a little tooo close to the edge of the frame.

The post-processing is "veerrryyyy niiiiice!" ;)

Have fun in Paris...

An interesting composition with spheres, rectangles and curves, and the two figures placed in the upper extremity. Nice timing too.

Nicely framed in your own special way Isabel - lovely graphic image and a very origiinal composition - the people are wonderful I vcan read their relationship and character from this almost silhouette and body language - nicely shot my friend!!

best wishes Kev

Round, dark, singular, introverted shapes of objects, stone spheres or humans in the background. Repetitive patterns of the pavement in the foreground placed in contrast to those shapes, singular vs. continuous. And to top that, the stone patterns and strong contrast sets a certain mood that I recognise, but just dimly. Very interesting.
