It's the kind of street scene that might just have a stronger? Harsher look of a tired elderly man message in B&W? Maybe? But it' sort of has enough going for it for a try. Even though I like the colour very much it seems a street scene for B&W? Maybe?????????? And given these days and computer-Photoshop it's merely a "click away!" ;-) One of the reasons I like using Photoshop is for this reason. Seeing a photo in both mediums! Besides, as you well know. A photograph with strength in both B&W & colour is the mark of a photograph that's sometimes a smashing great photo! Of course one must look first. ;-) The one thing it illustrates is just how I have been feeling this past few weeks, always looking for a place to sit as my drive to get on with things and life seems ebbing away to some kind of worthlessness ! :-( cheers, ted cheers, ted
