This shot was taken on a uncrowded street in Florence Italy near the duomo. It was later afternoon on the 4 of April 2010. The shadows were getting longer as the sun was getting closer to the horizon.

I didn't have a flash or a steady hand, but the scene was perfect. This "watercolor" version of this photo was created by playing with the filters in photoshop.

In the end, I am very happy with the results.
