Sunbathing
« on: April 11, 2016, 20:29:35 »
It is not strange to see older people sitting in the sunlight, specially late evenings in the summer. This kind of image is not typical for me but I have an emotional attachment. I don´t know the woman.
C&C always welcome

Thanks Lars for the encouragement.

 Elsa, don't you like them?  ;D
My emotion goes to this characters. For me, the are "everyone´s grandmothers" I have a soft spot for them.

   Yes Ron, it is rustic. Fisherman´s neighborhood close to the south end of the Mediterranean sea.

I love the bucolic (agricultural) setting and gesture.

Wonderful!

Beautiful shot Paco. Is this in-camera BW conversion or started with?

Thank you all for your comments.

 It is easy to feel attached to her. She is a natural! :)

   The bw conversion was done in ps, black and white gradient map -duplicate the gradient layer to increase contrast-. I use to do it that way.
