Hidden away under an old bridge crossing the Yarra River, Melbourne, but it could be any old bridge and the perfect place for a couple to cuddle without interruption or endangering their reputations. I processed it in line with that nostalgic mood it evoked in me, thus the addition of some (Hopefully smoothly grungy.) noise akin to some WWII images I've seen.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

PS, yeah, for the current contest, I think I've squeezed a bit of black and a bit of white in there. :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Lots of wonderful contrasts and line in here. An interesting image ideal for viewing as a b/w image.

A marvelous B&W image, Mikel! The combination of lines, shapes, and patterns in this shot captivate the eye, and the range of tones is outstanding. Interesting location and excellent post-work, as well. Best of luck in the contest!
