A Step in Time.

Magnifique...Une grande photo *******
Je préfère celle en noir et blanc.

Thank you very much Malik.

I like the b/w more; but both versions are very nice. An impressive scenery, Rosa !

Thank you Ulrich.

Both images are just beautiful Rosa.

Thank you Jaap.

belle prise !********************
belle semaine Rosalyn sous la pluie ! bises♫

Merci Valeriane .... les fleurs sont plus heureuses que moi sous la pluie ;-)
Passe une bonne semaine.

Ha, ha............it took me ages to work out what you'd cloned out...........I should have gone to Specsaver's I think.

Not quite sure what to make of the man in the shot...........he seems to be in some sort of period costume. I like his hat though :-)

It's a cracking candid shot Rosa.............I like both versions, but I think you were right to make the B/W shot the main image...........it works very well.

Ha ha...I can still see the white electric cord...but I'm not that good at cloning :-)

It was taken at The Thomas Hardy Victorian Fair Keith, so yes he was dressed up. We had popped into a cafe until the shower of rain passed and I snapped him quickly as we came out.

The b&w version does seem to be more popular. Many thanks for your kind comments.

EXCELLENT!**********************

Thank you Nouchet :)

I love the reportage feel the black and white gives to this image, Rosa. Cheers, Joe

Thank you for your kind comment Joe.
Cheers, Rosa.

Fine shots both Rosa, but definitely the mono for me, great work!

Enjoy your evening

Seems to be the most popular choice Doug. Thank you very much.
All the best,
Rosa.

A wonderful creation Rosalyn, I'm not a huge fan of B&W but it works very well for this image and getting rid of the floodlights is a great improvement unwanted intrusions really annoy me.
Going the other way I'm not keen on old photos colourised however well done they loose something to me. I suppose that old photos that were hand coloured at the time the colours of the clothes were still guessed

Thank you very much Peter. I think there has to be a reason for b&w and this shot seemed to call out for it....even though I like the warm stone colour :) My father tried hand colouring on a photo where I was a bridesmaid in the 1950's...I much prefer the original, and so did he!

A street photo: an unusual work for you but, in this case, very well done !
The b/w more underlines the decay of the ancient wall and some details, as the open gate and the statue, but, above all, the b/w fixes very well the firm step of the man with the cloak.
A great capture !
All the best
Fabio

Yes it is unusual for me Fabio. This shot seemed to call out to be b&w, so I appreciate your very kind comments.
All the best, Rosa.

A great shot and perfect timing Rosa.

Thank you very much Jeff.

I really like the black and white version.

Thank you Esther.

LOVE THE ORIGINAL.. THE WRM STONEWORK

Thank you Pam. The stonework is a lovely colour.

Superbe !! N&B pour moi !

Merci beaucoup Boro.

They are both beautiful, Rosa, I prefer the original.

Thank you Sonia. I appreciate your kind comments.

A well taken image and the b/w conversion/clean up has worked very well, Rosa. I must admit I missed the remaining cord till I read your comment. :-)

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned it George ;-))
Thank you for your kind comments.

Excellent !

Thank you very much.

Who is this man, Rosalyn ? Why is he dressed like that ?
I love the way he is dressed but it looks like he is from another time...
The two versions are good, Rosalyn, but like you and Pam I love the warm color of the
stones ....

It was a Victorian Fair Christiane. I wish men dressed like this now....I wouldn't like to go back to the way women dressed in that time though ;-))
Thank you for your kind comments.

I LIKE BOTH ***

Thank you Anna :)

Both are nice and the costume is wonderful! I'd wear that!

That's good to hear. It is very stylish I think :)
Thank you for your kind comments.

Nice street scene, mono works very well here and I like, that you've removed the spotlights! ;)

Thank you very much Dida.

Very intriguing, Rosa, the man looks like an errant knight. I like the B&W better for the mysterious effect!
