A challenge from The Electroblog
I'm throwing down a little challenge here. It's a theme for the first 3 days of February and I hope to have your participation. We've done this before and it's always a lot of fun.
But this time, let's try something different: I'd like you to spend 3 days posting your best street photography in black and white. Street photography is generally understood to include images taken (usually - though not necessarily - of people) in a candid public setting such as a sidewalk, often with a normal to wide angle lens.
So if you're interested, get out there and capture some decisive moments! If you are interested in participating, let me know through my contact link and I will add your name to the list when it's time.

@john4jack: Thanks Jack! I'm pleased you like it!
What a beautiful image, Sharon! It has a feel and look of romanticism. Straight from that era to our days. Timeless photo!

As always, Sharon, you offer the viewer so many possibilities with storyline and significance. The etheral setting, the delicious darkness and foreboding mist, my mind's off on a ramble into a realm of possibility. Beautifully shot and presented, elegant and classy..... why does that not surprise me when it's one of yours.

Marvelous atmosphere and image quality. Beautifully created.

Beautiful shot! I agree with Paul - very ethereal. Well done.

Good atmosphere. The black and white one is very good.
Greetings

Beautiful atmosphere. I love how the somewhat everyday scene (a person walking her dogs) blends into a setting of mystery, with the fog on the path ahead. Cool stuff :)
29 Jan 2009 9:10am
Another great mood of yours and another great path - you have so many and there are so many in our life, which one we must follow... THIS one seems quite cool, and mysterious again but an attractive mystery*
29 Jan 2009 9:10am
what a surreal shot. I like the details on dogs and the silhouette of the woman, the mist gives a special mood
29 Jan 2009 9:24am
Très belle atmosphère de promenade sous le brouillard!
29 Jan 2009 11:59am
Nice image. Very dark mood...but yet it is not scary. I think if the woman were without her dogs there would be a very different mood to this. Amazing how an element can change the mood.

This reminds me of an old movie in B&W, timeless. awsome pp

Great title. Like the b/w treatment.
29 Jan 2009 2:30pm
the life..............simply...........................

The place in itself looks very thick and mysterious and your black and white shot has made even more like place of hidden mysteries.
29 Jan 2009 3:24pm
This image has such a great atmosphere. It's peaceful yet mysterious. The dogs are calm so all is well.
29 Jan 2009 3:54pm
Oh I just joined Aminus3 or else I would love to participate. I have very few hours for "playing" with the camera these days. For now I will just float around and enjoy the pictures.
I like this setting. It looks mysterious but yet a peaceful place to walk. A romantic setting. I can visualize two lovers right around the corner holding hands. I can see an old man sitting on a park bench somewhere along the trail.
Great picture.
29 Jan 2009 3:55pm
How mysterious and ethereal! Amazing find and capture!
29 Jan 2009 3:59pm
Your figures are mostly dark, faceless, only showing their backs, walking into a mist, or contemplating something more than the weather, it feels like frail emotions.
29 Jan 2009 3:59pm
Love the gradient by fog over there. Great atmosphere!
29 Jan 2009 4:16pm
This is a very beautiful and intriguing photograph, I love it.
29 Jan 2009 4:32pm
A very intriguing and mystical capture ... which direction will she take or will she follow her dogs on this crossroad?! ;)
29 Jan 2009 4:51pm
into the foggy mist. best...jerry
29 Jan 2009 4:59pm
Very good. Somewhat enigmatic as it should be.
29 Jan 2009 6:23pm
A compelling and strong effect.
29 Jan 2009 6:31pm
Wow what a marvellous black and white image, it has so much atmosphere
29 Jan 2009 6:48pm
I just love the title and of course the image itself. The dark shadows are awesome as is the dim lit background fog.
29 Jan 2009 7:08pm
ooh -- love the new font for your watermark! :) this picture holds an intense mystery... i want to follow, but do i dare? just wonderfully intriguing!!!
29 Jan 2009 8:22pm
Splendid balance to this b&w shot, I love the slight mystery to the path ahead, which appears slightly misty.
29 Jan 2009 9:41pm
That's a wow shot. There is more here than just a moment - there is real and amazing atmosphere.
Like something you see in the classic photos.
Amazing work here!
29 Jan 2009 9:43pm
Beautiful, mysterious, & perfectly balanced. I love the dark tones and the atmosphere that it creates.
29 Jan 2009 9:46pm
Love the fog/mist in the distance. Well captured. I would love to participate, but we don't even have sidewalks where I live, much less too many people! Does a cow in a field count as street photography ;0)
29 Jan 2009 10:23pm
lush and lovely. (i'll have to think about the challenge. i like them, but i'm not sure any of my stuff will fit.)
30 Jan 2009 2:47am
Great atmosphere, mysterious and moody. I like it :)
30 Jan 2009 2:56am
A very effective yet dark photo, and it shows plenty of suspense.
30 Jan 2009 3:19am
Beautiful! A strange and romantic scene. What atmosphere!
30 Jan 2009 10:16pm
Marvelous atmosphere...
I like it!
Have a nice weekend Sharon

I like much this shot, a basic composition, but the impression to see two guardian angels with their Master, I like also the complexity of the way and this deep B&W Bravo ;)

J'aime beaucoup cette ambiance.
Belle composition.

It would take about six of these little doggies to approximate the size of my dog.
