@Sharon: Thanks very much Sharon!
@GJC: Thanks very much for the link GJC....the expressions are very similar aren't they.
@jkjond: Thanks John....the shutter is very quiet on the D40.
I'm relieved that you thought I did okay judging that photo challenge as I trust you're judgement when it comes to these things....as you say, the Birkenau photo was the problem one as it evoked such strong emotional reactions in me as it would in anyone aware of the significance. Would you have processed it in B&W?
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine.....the photo was taken at dusk just as the street and cafe lights were turning on. That and the cropping were what gave me problems for some reason....thanks for inspiring me with that photo of yours to try again with this one!
@tom: Thanks tom...I've had several tries processing this one! (the light on the tables is from the cafe lights which were turning on!)
@See The Light: Thanks very much Mary....I'm really pleased you liked the B&W conversion!
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks very much Michael!
@jkjond: Of course!.....I did feel it was right to leave it in colour but didn't know why. You're quite right in your reasoning as always. I thought the composition was okay apart from the rose which was neither in or out of the shot and just looked like a mistake of either framing or crop.
@Nimrod: Hi Nimrod...thanks for visiting!....this photo was taken at around dusk when there was still a little daylight but the lights in the cafe and on the street were turned on. The lights under the canopy were reflecting off the white tables which gave the scene a feeling of intimacy despite all the people passing by on the pavement.
@danthro: She has a real look of being lost in her own thoughts doesn't she.
@amy: Thanks Amy!...there's a lovely statue dedicated to Eleanor Rigby in Liverpool....I'll Take a photo next time I'm there!
