[Theme] b&w's

Fine scene and facial expressions. Two suggestions though: square crop, and illuminating the faces in PP

[John Geerts]

Thanks for the suggestions, Airy !   For the historic moment (A new road/passage which was closed from 1863 till 2016) it's also nice to delete the 'new' street elements. Will work on a different version

Dhyana mudra?

Dhyana mudra?

Yes, all traditions seem to hold their hands slightly different in meditational equipoise.

Thanks for the details, Fons.  It is sometimes tricky to find the more universal translation of the Buddhist terms known and used only in Japan...

I don't know which mudra this is...

[Fons Baerken]

the mudra of gesticulation,
underlining one's words with the movements of the hands,
i heard musicians do similar practices

LOL, Fons, yes, musicians do, but only the vocalists.  The instrumentalists are usually pretty busy doing other things.

The Card Game
One of the few shots with the Sony a7II from a moving vehicle , but this was moving very slowly  Just yet another B&W experiment.   Every time I saw a tree in a village or town, I knew there would be someone sitting in it's shade    I think I prefer this one in colour

I have a feeling somehow the tree is dividing the image, Tom.
