Amsterdam in B&W

[Nevyn72]

In the end I've choosen these too send in, and of the woman sitting - I made a set:
All where shot with the S5iiX and the Lumix 28-200mm

Hedonism (Skunk Anansie)​

Four frames, one tale to show,
a shifting soul the lens lets glow.

A smile, a gaze, a fleeting stance,
each moment holds another chance.

Like film unrolling, frame by frame,
revealing faces none the same.

Not only strength, not only pride,
but all of humanness inside.

Another Day in Paradise (Phil Collins)​

He lies there blurred, a fading face,
while hurried lives still fill the space.

The passers-by in focus stand,
their lives complete, their futures planned.

The lens reveals what eyes ignore:
those who have are seen —
the have-nots fade, and count no more.

You’ve Got a Friend in Me (Randy Newman)​

Two women lean, their voices blend,
a smile, a glance, a hand to lend.

A whispered word, a gentle tone,
companionship that stands alone.

Amid a city cold and wide,
connection blooms
where loneliness would hide.
