It took me quite a while to shoot this one, I made several exposures in prevision of an HDR, and I tried several points of view. During this time, a man went out of the restaurant and approached me. He stood behind the tripod and threw a glance in the same direction as the lens, then he said : "ça va être très bien" (it's gonna be nice). I replied "I hope so...", but I wasn't really sure at this time, because the light was really poor, orange everywhere but on the door and the bell tower. This led me naturally to a B&W version, and I just kept colors in the two well-colored spots.
