    Merveilleuse photo!
    L'ombre appartient à Louis Jouvet pour son célèbre film. Non?

    Very nice shot! A mystery indeed, will we know which "famous" person it was?

    You have to be very quick to catch a great shot like this Genie. What an elegant shoe. Makes me think of old movies with Fred Astaire.

    A mysterious messenger...Love the idea to use this picture as the beginning of a story!

    Given the location, my first thought was Jean-Pierre Aumont—but he's been dead for about 10 years, so . . . is it Peter? At any rate, this is very cool, and so perfect in b&w.

    Hitchcock apparaissait toujours dans ses films car il manquait de figurants...
    Très jolie photo...
    gros bisous

    Amazing photo Genie.
    Maybe Nicolas Sarkozy paid you a visit to welcome YOU to France!!!
    He's a very dapper dresser!!

    Now, HERE is a shot that just cried out to be rendered in black and white. Great eye and great composition, Genie. It looks like my shoe, but I swear I wasn't there!

    I do not know this mysterious man's name but I think that I have a photo and will post it soon. He does have nice shoes and a lively step, bien sûr!

    Thank you for your comments... I am catching up after many flight mishaps between Thursday and last night getting home. Merci!

    this is a wonderful image, genie — yes. full of mystery - and the play on black and white is stunning.
