    The only camera I ever regret selling was my IIIa, I miss it. But I have an M3 and M6 instead. Do you still have the IIIc? I always read you will regret ever Leica you sell. So I ain't selling anymore.LOL
    The picture is very good. Great timing and execution. The dead leaves scattered about adds to the lonely, cold feel to it. Awesome as always.

    Re: Gray

    Brilliant title for a brilliant shot.
    The motionless stance of what appears to be an elderly lady seems to form some sort of unison with the statuesque form of the pillar on the right as she is enveloped by the chill of all the concrete surrounds. .
    The lady seems sad and in some deep thought; she invites me to consider what she might be thinking of and what might be in store for the rest of her day. The bag, modern/laptop style, on the bench lends some incongruity. Are the fingers of her left hand holding a cigarette?
    I have seen this beautifully rendered picture of yours many times before Tuna and I will be looking at it many more times in the future.

    Re: Gray

    I agree with Tom, this is brilliant and the title so fitting. The posture of the old woman as well as her placement in the frame is just right.

    Well done.

    Had a look at your website and saw many great images that I remember you having shown in the past. Beautiful site. Well worthy of my Facebook "like" click

    Can't add anything else other than I like it and its a stunning photo.

    You have an exceptional eye for detail and composition.

    Tuna - like most of your work, this just screams 'quality'. Quality in composition, rendering, and mood. It's such a simple image, yet one that draws me back again and again.
