Such a wonderful b&w image, John!
I also like the almost independent scene along the banks of the Seine with the stairs, the tree and the two people.

A thoroughly enjoyable image for all the reasons already mentioned.

Thanks Dossy... I have a understanding wife who never complains of my frequent stops to take an image even in the cold while we walked the streets of Paris. Also may have processed in color and finding they do take to BW due to the subject matter , patina and less than ideal weather. Finally I’m a pack rat and when I started with the D100 I shoot raw and I’ve saved all the digital images, it’s fun to revisit with new perspectives and new skill sets .

thanks Bart...there were so many opportunities, I traveled pretty light with just the 24-120 and the D800 in a light day pack.....would have loved a longer lens to isolate the scene of the couple and the stairs, if I would have recognized it as a possible composition.

A thoroughly enjoyable image for all the reasons already mentioned.

Thanks Mike..glad you enjoyed the image.

Love Paris in the spring. Dramatic b&w processing brings out the soul of the city. Nicely done.

Thanks

Thanks Dan...B&W just seems to fit with clouds and the patina of old structures.

Thanks Bohdan...this was a cold winter afternoon. Actually had snow flurries. Agree that black and white really does bring out the character of the city.

Sigh . . . I miss Paris and this captures a lot of the atmosphere of the city.
