Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your comment about "Afternoon Stroll in Heidelberg." It was definitely one of those "right place at the right time" photos. I appreciate your feedback.
I like very much your portfolio, specially B&W! Great point of view!
Artist Reply: I'm glad you stopped by to take a look Maria. I appreciate your comments. And I very much enjoyed looking at your portfolio. I like the assertive contrast (Ascending lines) and bold colors (Orange stop & At the end of the day) you use. Very nice work.
Artist Reply: I appreciate seeing a comment like this from someone who really has an appreciation for and exhibits a mastery of black & white photography. Thanks to encouragement like yours, I'm digging deeper than I ever have to come up with portfolio-worthy images. Thank you very much for your feedback, Mike.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Mary. In many cases, I would have blurred the background. But the old buildings were just too beautiful to diminish. Appreciate your stopping by.
What a great scene this is, and then to do it in black and white. And the old woman is perfect here, because she, like the buildings has seen a lot happen in her lifetime. Bravo, what a shot
Artist Reply: Yes, I couldn't have asked for a better photographic moment. For me, old Europe (as colorful as it is) lends itself to so many great black & white opportunities. Love to see photographers in these wonderful, centuries-old locations delve into monochrome or toned images every once in awhile. Thanks so much for your nice comment, Sharon.
