Tried some snapshots in the manner I don't usually do.
1. Woman in black
2. Human benzene

Human benzene :) Great match :)

Sometimes stars align... You must have spent quite some time until you got that marvel!

Thank you, Bruno!

Olivier, quite interestingly, "the moment" came right after I had started shooting. ::)
I would think it is rather impossible to expect such a bizarre moment! :o

It looks like a surveilance camera from thriller movie, cool :)

Thank you, Jakov. I like the way you put it. :)

does the lady in black wear even a black aspirator?
the 2nd pic looks like a folk dance group in a circle

Thomas, no, the lady wears a black single-use mask. The Japanese-made masks are white, and I've heard that the Korean-made ones are black.
The hexagonal formation remineded me of the benzene circle which is kind of a circular dance of the carbon molecule. :)

Gee, I wish my teacher of biochemistry would have thought us that, I would have remembered it better (though we still call those "Aromatics" (or whatever the english word)) ::)

Surprize - people rather than cityscapes.
Delight - the benzene stuff. You caught the instant décisif, it seems. HCB lässt grüssen.

Thank you, Airy. These images were shot during the meeting with Jonathan (JJChan here), and I was trying out his style of shooting.
The "benzene" was totally a beginner's luck, I would say. Aber hoffentlich lächelt HCB. ;)

Bleak and striking at the same time,,, interesting ;)

Akira,
While the second shot was truly a bit of serendipity, the first one in my opinion is not particularly interesting. As the central figure is your subject, I suggest cropping vertically to eliminate the persons on our right of her, which I think tightens up the composition.
Additionally, both shots suffer from a serious lack of contrast.

Robert, thank you for visiting and your suggestion.
As for the processing, I lowered the contrast intentionally to make them look like the old B&W films shot with the uncoated lenses but I may have done that a bit too far.
As for the first image, I decided to leave the frame uncropped, because other figures placed in radiating manner seemed interesting compositionally. I'm not sure if it is as effective as I wished.

Here are new additions under the same theme. The fist wan was posted to another thread previously, and the second one was shot yesterday.

Beautiful work Akira - thank you for posting

Thank you, JJ! This theme is not of my specialty, but I'll post slowly whenever I get appropriate images.

I'm having trouble in deciding which image I like best, Akira.

This is an interesting series, Akira. I regard DSF 3341 as my favorite so far.

JJ, thank you for your contribution. I know that your usual style of photography would suit the theme better than mine. :)

Carl, I hope I can manage to keep you in trouble though this thread. :D

Keith, thank you for your comment. I'm glad to know that there is a favorite of yours.
