Hi Eric,

It's not often I like over exposed pictures, but I think this works very well... a lovely pic indeed.
I too like the black and white, as in the colour version, I think the electric blue across the center of the image takes away the focus. I only hope I have the forsight to see the something like this in any of my photo's rather than discarding it.

I like it a lot

Well done :)

It makes a wonderfull B7W for sure. Very good choice.

Thank you,
It was over exposed, I've since taken to looking at the histograms after every shot. {there is so much to keep track of) And it did need to be cropped and blurred to bring the attention back to the man on the bench.
Of all the pictures I take and I keep them all. So few are really worth showing and even less stir an emotion. But I will keep trying.

Peace
Eric
