Back to some abstract, some crazy views (of mine) from Paris.
Beginning of the year 2007, a rainy day, just a woman walking in a street in the 17th district, about 5 minutes far from the Place Clichy.
Conversion in b&w and contrasts.

"Like a Slow Burn
Leading us on and on and on
Like a Slow Burn
Turning us round and round and round Hark who are we
So small in times such as these
Slow Burn
Slow Burn

Oh, these are the days
These are the strangest of all
These are the nights
These are the darkest to fall"

Slow Burn - David Bowie

Ca, j'aime bien...
Vitesse plus comme effet de freinage en urgence...Une très belle impression.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Salut Fred,
J'aime bien David BOWIE et la photo.
Une scène avec une ambiance vraiment bonne. Humide et froide. Ca marche très bien.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

Frederic,
I like your D'Agata-like vision here. Your consistency in this respect is admirable. I am beginning to see the appeal. This one is a very interesting black and white, and coupled with the note it is wonderful.
Regards,
Animesh

Strange figure. Looks a person from another era. I get the sense of a triangular hat. Maybe even of a person on a unicycle?!? Don't ask me why. The cobblestone streets, the blur and burn. Like stumbling home after one too many steins of beer in the 18th century. -Hugh

Hi Frederic,
a "rain" photo, you underlined the mood perfectly with your technique.
Cheers Christian

J'aime celle-ci parce que je la trouve glauque notamment du fait de la présence de ces flaques brillantes... et puis la présence importante du bruit donne un beau visage à ce flou...

Hi Frederic,
Bravo for this unusual capture of rain and movement...looks like a charcoal painting...very artistic
Andre
PS: The matching with Bowie's song is excellent..

Ciao Fred,
really a strange and mysterious atmosphere with a sense of fear gave by the blur and the great contrast.
Anna

salut Fred,

Comme un dessin en crayon. J'aime l'illusion d'un homme en feu ou comme grazyna dit en freinage ... on peut choisir ;) Le grain est vraiment très bien içi, ça donne le structure necessaire. C'est vraiment ton style !!! Comme le Daguerro-type c'est içi le Delnaja-type ;))
a bientôt, inn ;D

Salut Fred

Excellent encore une fois, l'evocation Parisienne est au top ici, le n&b + le grain ça me scotche
