Sightseers

Assisi today

the place was full of Sightseers
I think I'd like to see this in B&W too, with a contrast boost. It would be excellent. The question is, who are the sight seers seen in the scene?
 
I'm not really into un natural B & W for images like this - the shot was taken during the worse part of the day, lightwise, when the sun was very strong and shadows extreme and that is what is reflected in the colour image - i.e. the strong sun light.

here is the same image PPed a little, (film type - Kodak 100 TMAX pro), in SEP

The image was taken in Assisi, Umbria, at the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi

The nuns were on an escorted tour and all were sightseers

I like both versions, the contrast of the two different sight seeing groups is nicely captured.
 
I like it better it in black and white. The girl dressed in comfortable but comparatively skimpy clothing, who appears preoccupied with her appearance as she ties up her hair contrasts well against the nuns who are fullly covered and plainly dressed. While the nuns represent constrainment and servitude, the girl represents freedom and fun. Good shot, well spotted.
