Tram in Mannheim
I was in Germany for a while and stood on a traffic island and had quite a few people ask me in German why I was taking photographs of what appeared to them to be a very ordinary dreary sight.

I converted the original image in silver efex pro.

Pentax 645D FA 120 macro f/16 1/13 ISO 100

You should have just told them you were British!

Cracking shot and processing.

Great example of street photography and have to agree with OldBoy the B&W conversion is first rate .

I wouldn't say it was an ordinary or dreary sight because the lines and lights really add something to your photograph.

well worth being questioned by a few Germans I think. The B&W conversion is spot on its good shot.
