 A foreign friend visited Budapest a couple of years ago around this time of the year. His first impression was that this is a city without colors.

I took the picture in the most busy underwalk in the center. It is nearly black and white.

But not gray enough. Sorry, but this barely meets the challenge, with the flesh tones, the colored lights in the backgroundand the color in her hair. Any one would have been OK, but there's just too much color here.

I didnt really see this fitting in this challenge, the composition is a bit off for me. The pole seems to be as much a focus as the 2 people. The idea is sound but I think the exicution needs work. Definatly worth trying again though.

Not a bad shot, but maybe a bit too much color for this challenge...
