It is pretty common to have one's wedding photos taken in Central Park, often several days in advance of the actual wedding. NY's Chinese community especially go for this. On this occasion it was a Saturday and she probably had just got, or was about to get married. I still cannot believe those heels... walking up the aisle in those must have been a challenge!

Not when working on a scan of a BW negative! Perhaps I should have used a different filtration, or I could try some tweaks in photoshop. to try and increase the midtone contrast.If I have one niggle, it would be the limited amount of mid-tones on show.

Actually I was aiming exactly for the girl and the statue symmetry but rather overdid the aperture. I should have stopped down a little more. I wanted the statue to be out of focus enough to not clash, but be visible enough to make the visual pun. As it is, I rather like the shot anyway. And isn't that 135mm f/2.5 lens a cracker...

So, your in Romania! You do get around. There are a lot of images to be had of the 'cross' in eastern Europe I guess. I'm planning a trip to Vilnius in Lithuania, and visiting the 'Hill of Crosses' out there. What a place that is!
Whereabouts in Romania are you?
A little town called Isaccea in the far east of the country not that far from the Black Sea. I have a project here and come every summer. This is the last season, however.So, your in Romania!
