Black-And-White Photo Competition 2 2015 : Entry Number 636
Photographers Comment
First off, my congratulations to the winning photo. When it was first posted I thought to myself, "There's the winning image." A truly powerful, emotional image.
As for my photo, the woman is my 90 year old mother who lives with me. Every afternoon we go for a walk and on this particular day I was walking behind her when we passed through an area where the sun was sifting through the branches. I noticed the pattern it was casting through her hat onto her neck and quickly held my Sony RX1r above my head and took the picture. ISO 100, f2.8, 1/400 sec. Processed in Lightroom 5, Photoshop CS5 with Topaz plugins and converted to B&W in Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
My thanks to the judges for the Mark of Excellence award.
