Hi Ted, mon ami

Thank you very much for your comment, exactly I know that it was  
impossible shot the Pope, my intention was capture the people, in my  
opinion much more interesting than the Pontiff, we can see very good  
press pictures of him on the newspapers.

I'm very glad you liked the B&W I'm doing a certain effort tryng to  
improve the digital B&W!

cheers and Happy New Year!
Lluis
