    I have converted these photographs to black and white from original RAW files, with the Capture one program.

    1.- I was walking in front of a hotel, while the Mobile World Congress was being held, and I saw this van with its driver waiting.

    2.- A lady with a shopping cart, trying to cross a street in Barcelona, near the previous photograph.

    The light hitting the buildings is excellent but of the three, I prefer the one with the lady crossing the street.
    It tells a story of her going about her daily activites.
    Three lovely images , José

    Three nice images José but it's the ornamental ironwork in number 3 that catches my eye and makes the building stand out.

    Gary, I like this photograph despite the threatening environment it retains the depth.

    It's April, a time of easter, when chocolate easter eggs are the go and with facinating wrappers, so may I suggest a suggestion put up by Gary.
