Wonderful shot!

Great b&w. Just stunning!

Excellent!

wow.. its perfect!

This photo should be featured. I believe it will soon.

Very touching and great lighting

I love your "white&black".

Thank you very much DarcoTT and Arne.

This is very nice, but...
I wonder what it would look like if the entire background was black??? Bet I would like it...

I like the bit of white on the right. What a gorgeous capture.

To me the top of the bass would have had far less impact if the background was all black, this way it really brings out the shape.

superbe, une forme de damier. La contrebassiste ressort tres bien avec ce b&w.

Nice catch.

I'm guessing you used a telephoto lens for this. My only criticism is that the front to back compression seems unnatural.

At the same time, when you're on the street you have to shoot what happens... and I'm glad you did.

Willie, this was shot with a 100mm prime lens, the only one I have that is fast enough to do night street shooting without having to push it. All I did was crop a hair off of the left side. Thanks.

Thanks Ana. :)

Wow ! Great fun for you too, Tracy :)
Excellent, as usual.

Just an additional comment to make this pic coming back on the front page ;-)
I definitely love it, love the light and colors. And moreover Tracy, I appreciate so much your sensitiveness, and the particular way you make every kind of people beautiful.

Martine, that is such a nice comment. The interesting thing for me is that I didn't realize that sensitivity until people started pointing it out to me in comments. I continue to try and shoot everything but it is when I go through my images later that I decide what works and what doesn't, so both Mark and I try to make sure that our images show the humanity and the dignity that everyone deserves. It is a big discussion point for us along with so many other things in photography. :-)

A winner on all the sites Tracy! This should be a feature pretty quickly ;)

Scott, this was the first in the series, he is trying to et her to 'come hither'

:)

Yes I seen most of the series when it was in screening on.....(whispers) "the other site".... but I liked this one the best, the look on their faces is excellent. Brings make memories of dating that special someone.

Perfect! Well deserved feature...such great feelings come from this! Did they know you were taking their picture?

Sweet!

I have no idea what it is...but I had to stop and take a photo of it....
Your guess is as good as mine!!

Nice shot. I like the contrast and tones, together with the odd mix of structures.

Wow, that looks like my old neighborhood. :)

Are you from the backwoods of Wisconsin?
:P

Beautiful!

YES !!
That's excellent, how do you do... ? It seems you are always at the right place, at the right moment.

lol I just realize that "how do you do" has a different meaning in English than in French.
My question was rather : How do you manage to produce all your street pics ?
By the way, I also hope you are fine, Tracy. :-))

I understood Martine, hailing from Quebec I am used to interpreting people trying to speak English if I couldn't understand what they were saying in French. :)

How do I do it? I have a really good partner and competitor in Mark, if I go out shooting alone I am not nearly as brave as I am when I am with him. And I shoot a lot of frames, too many more often than not. I am fine thank you, it is hard to keep up with all the photoblogs so I don't spend as much time around vazaar as I used to.

This really is fantastic. The lighting is spot on.

Perfect! Perfect! Perfect!

@Beamer - :D

Superb photo. My congratulations.

If you are selling prints I am in the line too :)

How much You'll sell this one... 30x40 cm., on matte paper

Nice silhouette work!

Very cool image - makes me think of Japanese Ink and wash painting !

I hope that's just bait. Otherwise it's a pretty unimpressive catch, hah.

Great tones in this one, BTW.

Just bait. :)

Thanks.
