Although I might expect B/W to provide a vintage news photo feel, I think that the sombre colour of the soldier's uniform and of course military posture set the tone. I hadn't thought about the empty stroller, just that the chid at play in her own world amid that setting was the element that made the composition. Also no intended comment on "bugle", that was just meant to quote your image name. As an aside, I have read that it is now common practice to use an electronic device inserted within the instrument to produce the sound. Not meant to be disrespectful, just a result of the paucity of skilled musicians for memorial functions. Once again, terrific image.

The "bugle" in particular has a very unsettling feel and surreal quality for me. I'm thinking I'd expect to encounter it in Geographic or Life Congratulations Hoppy ------------------------------ Message: 10 Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 21:01:21 -0400 From: Ric Carter <ricc@mindspring.com> Subject: [Leica] PAW 21 To: Leica Users Group <lug@leica-users.org> Message-ID: <E0D597DB-C7AC-460C-B0BF-487F4C2EC709@mindspring.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed PAW 21 is from a small town, Pikeville, NC.

Thanks Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/Passing-Fancies ------------------------------ It has become difficult for me to see black & white after color. I don't know why. Maybe it's just being swayed by the first image I see. Maybe I've come to prefer color simply because I use color. Ric On Jun 11, 2006, at 7:39 AM, Philippe Orlent wrote: > I like them both.

Perhaps the little girl pushing an empty baby stroller through a symbolic cemetery foreshadows something.
