    Congrats Doug. An amazing capture. So many contrasts of black and white, light and shade, soft and architectural foliage. A very dramatic shot. Where is Alfred Hitchcock when you need him>

      Paul,
      I often answer with comments on other photo blogs, but do not always have time to answer every comment. I thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog and am sorry if I have offended you in any way.

    I wouldn't have imagined this works in monochrome but it's brilliant!

    I like some of your pictures.
    It's an hard work to find each day a different photo.
    I try to do the same, like a "private diary".

    best

    Can't put my finger on what I like about this photo, but I like it!
    Maybe it's the great b$w processing ?

    Ah, a scene made for B&W :)

    Very nicely processed and equally well exposed - those lighting conditions can't have been easy!
