I admit it - this one has left me high and dry. Neither of my first ideas looked good in bw, somebody else has already done my 3rd idea , and ... well, you get my drift :rofl

I was thinking about this under the title "One.... Singular Sensation" (as in the song from "A Chorus Line"). My daughter received an award for exceptional contribution to her Children's Chorus at Prestigious Local Instituation yesterday, and I managed to get her to pose for a few shots in the picturesque downtown area afterwards (only a couple but hey - we take what we can get, right? I claim privilege as Proud Mommy :).

Too tenuous for the theme? I know it's pushing it but I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here!!! :D

    Beautiful conversion and I personally get the sense of singular from it. Nice composition too. I really like this one! :D

    I don't think that it is too tenuous for the theme at all Diva..

    I really favor the personality of this shot.. what a pretty girl. I am lovin the polka dot dress and the shadows... The polka dots help with the bit of blowout on the street. They help to counter that.

    The nature of this shot makes is a great black and white photo..

    Me like!! The theme is pretty vague so I don't see why this doesn't fit singular.

    I think this will work with the theme quite well. I like it that the fences are dark and the background is just blurry enough to guide your eyes right to the main subject. A beautiful photograph and a nice B&W processing.

    That's one sweet shot, diva! Timeless in black and white (very nice conversion), title fits the theme, great exposure and thoughtfully composed. I think you found it! clap.gif

    Thanks everybody! I do love bw - somehow everything looks MORE rather than less real (kind of like radio vs tv, I guess - more is in the imagination).
