This photo was taken in Nazareth--two locals greeting eachother with a handshake. A handshake which symbolizes respect and hospitality.

    Priviet, AF!
    Congratulations - very impressive photo. Cant agree that it needs to be turn to b&w - think it'll loose much deatils...
    The only thing that I can critique - this 'cuted' left hand with watches on the left of the photo.... Think its 'out' of composition...
    Spasibo,

    Hi and thank you all very much for your great feedback.

    Eric--I am happy that this photo captures for you, as the viewer, a story.


    Yuri--I agree with you regarding the hand with the watch. I was not happy with the fact that it was "cut"--but the conditions on location required a quick and snappy shot. Furthermore, there was a blue wall to the right which covered segments of the hand.

    Liquiops--upon your suggestion, I am attaching a black and white version with some grain.

    What do you think?
