Nicely put together, its a great subject and well captured. Couldn't you find any strange ladies in that park?

The panoramic shape has made it look a bit cramped at the top for me, the trees look a bit sliced off - and what is the POINT of black & white here ????

For me, being in B&W adds a timeless quality to the shot. If I'd taken it I'd probably have done exactly the same...

I like the BW, it gives a graphic quality to the image. I'm not 100% sure on the panorama, but it's a brave composition and I applaud you for trying something a bit different Alistair.

Works for me.

I like the compositio with the tree shapes and borders giving just enough symmetry and I think the b/w presentation suits the old fashioned bandstand subject. All very pleasing.
