Submitted for the PG101 Black and White Theme
This gal was watching a video in the Air and Space Museum near here -- I loved the simplicity of the bench and setting and the way she was sitting. My favorite is her foot :)

Beautiful capture, Nikki!!! Although we cannot see her face, we can easily imagine what she's feeling. Love the detail of the foot, but it is also the whole composition and the lines formed by her head and arms against the black background, the lighting and the beautiful tones which make this a wonderful entry for our Theme.
Happy Theme Day!!!
