I know these aren't the norm here but I thought I'd share as they reminded me of some b&w images of Paris I saw a number of years ago.

These are from dawn on Sunday in the local town centre, sorry there are no people B.D. but I only saw 2 people in the hour+ I was there. I did try to shoot the returning revellers but the shots were no good.

If these are in the wrong place I'm sure Richard will move them.

Any & all C&C welcome.

    I like the contrast of the nice old wooden revolving doors with the modern, flat steel and aluminum chairs in #1. I'm afraid I don't quite see the point of #2. Maybe if the reflections had been a bit more interesting, dunno.

    I really LOVE the first one... the composition and B&W tonality is outstanding.
    Amy :D

    Thanks for taking the time B.D. At least they provided me a chance to work on my conversions.

    Thanks for taking the time Richard. I guess I missed with #2, I was back today in different light & I didn't get anything either.

    Thanks Amy. I liked the image when I saw it through the viewfinder and as I was working on it it grew on me even more.
