Nice one. Good thing you didn't have a modern, high contrast lens, or you would have lost the shadows on this one.

very nice...well exposed...

Yes, the shadows are really beautiful and that really makes the photo to me.
Good to see the amatar in use. Nice one!

I had two CZJ 150mm lenses with me that day, and used the coated Tessar first - as I had done on all the other colour shots I took. Then the thought struck me that the uncoated Doppel-Amatar should be good in this situation, and did a second shot with that lens.

Exposure was by pure guesswork, since the only light meter I had was a Leningrad selenium meter. "Average" doesn't really help much in a situation like this, so in the end I went with f:16 at 1/10 second - it would have been 1/50 at f:16 outside in the open.

Forget the exposure- the composition is sooooo strong as is the color. A marvelous and quite timeless image.

I'm still coming back to admire and learn from this image.
