Black & White Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken last summer at the beach, these two nice ladys were having fun walking and enjoying the beautiful weather. So they decided to make a little show along the way since people were amazed to see them ! So one more view in the workshop !
Best wishes for Holidays to come, thanks for sharing

Ah c'est bien, tu as retrouvé les soeurs Williams... à la retraite.
C'est amusant come duo en plus elles sont contentes de te voir les photographier.
Bien vu
Jean Michel

Hi Pierre

:D :D

Great to see your back - and a great shot in many ways ;-)) To bad you missed one for the "Three graces" theme - The B&W gives an extra effect here.

Regards
Jeppe

A fun catch here Pierre, the ladies have fun and it's very nice how you captured this and gave this one a fine 'feel good' quality. On the tech level I like the shallow DoF and the set of grey tones used.
Have a fine weekend,
Bert

Hi Pierre,
You certainly caught this at a decisive moment. The lighting, the dynamics, the animated expressions, are all first rate. Your framing and tight cropping contribute to the high impact, with the crashing white surface not only providing great action but also contrasting with the strolling ladies. Its a keeper.

Hi Pierre. It's good to see new ones from you again. Yes they definitely look like their up to something! I like the b/w too. I like that we can see the water and waves behind them so clearly. Very nice one Pierre!

Salut Pierre
Choix judicieux du n & b pour le moins qu'on puisse dire. Ça donne du punch et du contraste à la photo. Bien vu.
Pierre
