Hmmmm, Renee - a VERY interesting phenomenon, isn't it?!! ;o) Anyway, my friend, you captured this moody scene just superbly!! I LOVE *everything* about this image!! :o) #9115950Carolyn J. Connolly December 20, 2010
PS, Renee - I also love how you selectively coloured red the heart on one of the locks, too!! :o) #9115955John Connolly December 20, 2010
I too like your subtle SC Renee! A wonderful find and capture, I wonder if the custom will ever catch on here? #9116520Rona L. Schwarz December 20, 2010
What a strange custom, but so well seen and captured, Renee! Perfect in B&W with the SC. I wonder what it means. Reminds me of the custom I saw in Japan, about 5 years ago, of putting charms (I forget the proper name for them) on their cell phones - have no idea if this style is still in vogue. #9117284Graeme yew Chow December 20, 2010
Wonderful find, exposure and unique composition, Renee. #9117341Robert K. Bemus December 21, 2010
