Absolutely stunning shot. I really love the B&W and the candid feel. Great stuff.

@f/1.2: hi, thank you...I was most impressed, touched, by all the people coming and going giving blood, taking the time to do it,...so good to feel and see this sense of care in a world I find sadly growing more and more callous, violent...it felt good to be around these doctors, nurses, and people coming in off the street to help others...

What a powerful b&w with great depth of emotion!!! The grain, the tone, the slightly blurred background, the silhouette in wonderful clarity... these have been blended to bring about a very special atmosphere! Inspiring work M!

Wonderful grainy texture...another good silhouette. I wish the place where I go to give blood were as beautiful!

@Dulcie: Hi Dulcie...thanks...it really was nice...second floor hallway of this old theater, I guess where people would come out to stretch their legs between acts or something...

je suis éblouie par ce grain, très belle texture qui donne beaucoup de force et de charme à ce cliché. bravo
