Description (monochromatic version)

Pelle, Pelle, Pelle!!

This is certainly one of your best images, and would venture to say that it ranks up there as one of the best street photos I have seen. The composition is beautifully balanced and is almost like a theatrical production. I love it - amazing shot !!!!

"How many potential friends, lovers, soulmates and confidants do we brush past never to see again on a daily basis?" This question sums this picture all up in my opinion, after all human life and encounter is all about chances and luck.
