Hi Angshuman,
Good silhouette shot with strong highlights around the main subject. B&W really makes this pic come out stronger. I find the huge black structure at the right a bit distracting though. TFS!

Hi Angshu, defitinely B&W is most appropriate for this shot; the main scene on the bench is powerful. The black structure on right (column? tree?) gives a distracting vertical orientation, taking me up to the building; probably a crop can help in focusing attention on the main theme even stronger. On the other hand, it may be functioning well for framing. Regards, Daniel

This definitely works well in B&W. The light on the two characters is good, making them highlighted silhouettes.

Nice romantic scene here. I like the way you captured this couple and the choice of the black and white underlining the romanticism of the scene.
Good job!

Hi Angshuman
Nice B&W image.
Good Depth of field with the blurred background and the focus on the people.
Great light and contrast.

Excellent shot Angshuman, B&W is a very good choice here. The light is very well balanced and the two figures make way for imagination.
Best regards,

Hi Angshuman,

A good POV of these people who are enjoying a relaxing moment. A good usage of the black & white for such a photo.

Hi Angshuman,
I spend some time visiting your old posts and find some suprising wonderful ones. This is a completely diferent one in B&W. I love the atmosphere and the composition (as usual) is very well suceeded. The sillhuettes contrast well with the light blurred and urban background and the poses of them are well captured and balanced. Not the best quality ,as it is scanned, but that really doesn't matter at all in here. Reallygood shot!
TFS,
Ricardo

Hi Angshuman,
An excellent one scanned of an old photo. The B&W is very pretty and it gives much force him to the image. Very well defined the subject of the photo, this couple speaking calmly in a bench in front of the river. Background OOF is sensational, and heightens very much the scene.
Good exposure.
Regards, my friend,

Hi Angshuman, a nice BW one, you've captured a daily scene all anonymously, you could have got rid of the very right part of the picture I think...

Hello Angshuman.
What a great display of contrasts. The silhouettes look great against the light background. But...the highlights along the arms really make this photo for me. There is a wonderful depth to the shot, aided by those highlights, but also by the content of the photograph. The close discussion is an intiment moment captured that has great weight in this photograph.
Regards,
Chris.
