Description After some time, I decided to upload a version that can be printed of this "top of my creation".
I have mixed feelings when looking to this work since it was, ultimately, the result of some kind of hazard as you might see if you"ll continue reading below, on one hand and on the other one, I don't believe I shall be ever able to create something comparable with this piece.  It is also sad that in the meantime, people who were inspiring me so much related to this pic like Sylvia Kristel (the actrice) and Piere Bachelet (the singer) are now in a different (better ?) world and I already consider this pic to be my artistic heritage ...

Original text:
Paris - Rue Rivoli
This is the story:
I was enjoying during last June (2011) several days in Paris with my wife. While sitting in a "post-rainy" day in a sidewalk coffee house on Rue Rivoli where you cannot park, a nice young person (a girl) in an old MiniMinor stopped and waited (later-on I found out she waited for her mother). I took a pic and cropped out the face. She is exceptionally pretty and looks like EMMANUELLE (a hot French movie around the mid 70's representing a real revolution in the Cinema World when it appeared ...). In addition the passed rain left many drops on the car window fact that amplifies a special kind of effect...
Just to point out additionally that this movie (EMMANUELLE) has practically moved the main-stream positioning vis-a-vis the "hot movies" to some point that has never ever been reached before and that is the quasi-unanimously "accepted" one today (outcome of the mentioned before revolution)
I like this piece !

Ah!  Even in America I followed the Emanuelle movies.  And true this image looks like her.  Again you have used adversity (the rain) to your advantage and captured a marvelous image.  Well done again, Riki.

Ron, it discloses my age as well ...
The truth is my friend that it was a quite random shot 
Only, at home I "discovered" the jewel ...
I wasn't able to reproduce such a take since then ...

rongiveans In reply to Rikitza [2015-07-09 16:16:32 +0000 UTC]

That has happened to me, also.  Finding the gem from the past.  Your luck with the rain has been uncanny lately.  Kind wishes my friend.

Absolutely incredible, she looks just like the actress, also the cloths and the car look just like in the 70's! Although I have not watched the movie, I think that the atmosphere is perfect too. A well deserved DD!

Thx so much my friend.
the truth is that it was a snapshot and that only at post processing I managed to discover the "diamond" ... And to crop it out.
here is the original pic fav.me/d4b9pdu

I saw it, that contest and Mini are perfect for that pretty woman, and you had a fine taste to crop a "window" with her.
I knew only the title of Emmanuelle, I find on google and I'm so curious, it must be an intriguing film.
