good one Jerzy. And I think I prefer the color version. Modernism and tradition with those people.
Enjoy your trip and come back with great photos.
See U!

Great b&w choice. Much better than the color version. I like the composition and your placement of elements. The large empty sky gives us a very breathable experience. I like that.

Hi J.

In my opinion...the B&W is really better. It give you a nice contrast between the lighten & dark areas.

Well done!

Hi Jerzy, oh I like this! An essence of Israel, of Jerusalem is captured here, what a contrast between the orthodox Jew in his characteristic hat and some clearly secular youths, and the tower of the Christian church dividing them! Having lived for 5.5 years in that city I even recognize the place... :)

Cheers
Alexander

Dużo ciekawiej niż wczoraj. Dobre są sylwetki mocno zarysowane. B&W działa jak trzeba.
Pozdrawiam.

Witaj Jurek!
Fajna kompozycja. Izrael B&W - bardzo dobry kierunek prezentacji tego kraju. Osobi¶cie kraj ten zawsze jawi³ mi siê w monochromatycznych obrazach. A wszystko chyba poprzez te czarne stroje Chasydów.
Jak NinaL ju¿ powiedzia³a z lewej ¶wiat³o troszkê mniej atrakcyjne, ale nie psuje odbioru zdjêcia jako ca³o¶ci.
Gratulacje
Pozdrawiam Pawe³.

The Catholic church besides the orthodox one that stands between the Hasidim man and the young fellows by the Great Wall... indeed full of history. A great shot. Look forward to your next goodies. Have a great trip.

Hello Jerzy,
When I take street pictures this is exactly what I try to combine, but it is hard to become successful every time.
A good background which suits the subject and getting the characters in action
( Without asking them to pose ) placed exactly where the compositipon requires them to be.
Excellent really - Izzet
By the way I enjoyed very much your short visit to Istanbul: I wish you an excellent trip back home and wait for your gems of Istanbul

i like this as a monochrome and then as a composition. there is something very classical about the composition, and the monochrome adds the timeless element in it.
Good job!
