Delicate Steps…
Delicate steps with tenous balance on early morning, rain-slicked cobbles.
This image was taken in Beaune, France, the wine capital of the Burgundy region. I took this shot while attending the annual wine auction of the Hospices de Beaune. During this event, the entire city is transformed into a celebration of all things wine. Perhaps this contributed to his unsteady gait?
This was one , if not the first, image that I manipulated with Silver Efex Pro, which I am finding is a wonderful program for creating B&W images.



Such a perfect title. Excellent!

Well done! I hear a lot of good things about Silver Efex. I use DxO Filmpack 3 which uses presets based on various films, love it!

Have not used that one. I think Silver Efex Pro allows free trial downloads. I Luv it!
