Cartier-Bresson and me?

My parisian photo Dèfense, published on Amateur Photographer (4th place, round 7 Away from home)




Judges say: "Simona’s image reminded the judges of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s photograph ‘India, Kashmir, Srinagar, 1948’. An interesting subject photographed in an imaginative way".

Henri Cartier-Bresson - India, Kashmir, Sringar, 1948

Honored that my simple photo has been compared to his masterpiece.
