Great shot, Seamus. Bravo! And they didn't even wake up.

Born and bred, Enda - Editor of The Sligo Champion for over forty years. Where I said 'just arrived' I was referring to the two on the bench - the guy is from somewhere in Ireland and the girl is from Italy. So they told me when they woke up and asked me to take a picture of them with her camera.

Seamus

It's a smashing shot. Lovely B/W tonality, it feels like film, even though it probably wasn't. Hell, they must have been stiff when they woke up! But you can do it when you're young . . .

One day I must go back to Sligo.

You'd be welcome any time, John.  Not for nothing is it called 'The Land of Heart's Desire'.

Incidentally, the shot was taken with the Fuji X Pro1, 18 mm (about 28mm normal).

This is one of your best street shots, imo. Good work.
