Black-And-White Photo Competition 1 2013 : Entry Number 1488

There is something similar to teenagers sharing a mobile phone screen in this photo. It is very cute. The composition, the balance of things and the tones are a pleasure to see. Well done.

Many thanks for the honor and kind comments! There were so many wonderful photographs submitted. This picture, which I call "The News From Tripoli", was taken in Udine, north-eastern Italy, inside the beautiful art deco style "Cafe 900". The NATO action over Libya had just started, and the front page headline of the newspaper these ladies are poring over reflects that. --Kai Griffin (Budoia, Italy) [Used: Olympus E-P3, Voigtländer 25mm, f/0.95, B&W conversion in Nik Silver]
