ronnievalentine 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Nice capture! Maybe you should have included the subjects feet. I think it would have added the final touch. Keep um coming. Congrats. Link to comment
arjen van de merwe 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Yes, yes, yes! This is Gary Winogrand style. Wonderful juxtaposition of the people, great expressions, well done. I love this type of work. Link to comment

kentb2 0 Posted August 20, 2006 Alex I love what you're doing here. The illustrative quality is wonderful and the exposure range really accentuates it. Link to comment
dguindon 0 Posted August 20, 2006 What an effect you have going on here, I'm imagining some fg contrast adjustment for your main subjects completed your effect. What I especially like are those palm trees growing on the roof! Link to comment
someoneelse 1 Posted August 22, 2006 GREAT, and I am not talking about the palmtrees on the roofs, ofcourse it is special, but the contradiction in youth and old, straight and bend..... ah you understand, I like it a lot Els Link to comment
toddk1 0 Posted August 22, 2006 It looks like more than one shot sliced together, is it? Link to comment
alexguerra 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Ronnie, you're right, it would have been better with the feet included but despite the appearances they were quite fast walkers!... Arjen, I didn't know that particular photographer, but now after a search I got to see his work and I really happened to like it a lot. I'm flattered with such comparison, but that guy is a real master from a much higher league than mine! Thanks a lot anyway. Carl, weirdness and the bizarre do fascinate me indeed =) Kent, I'm glad you like it and thanks for viewing. Don, you imagined it just about right. I increased contrast and dodged some highlights on the ladies to 'separate' them a bit from the busy and somewhat confusing background where even palm trees grow on the roofs :D Els, you seem to have understood perfectly what I found special about this scene. Always so nice to read you. Todd, I understand why it may look like a composite shot, but it is not the case. As I wrote above to Don, I increased contrast on the main subjects and added a vignetting effect to the background to bring out the two passerbies. Link to comment

sabina dorneanu 0 Posted August 29, 2006 This is very, very funny. I mean, the young one can take a look at her left to see how she is going to look later. If she does that, she won't be that merry anymore:) Now I'm mean... The old one, obviously, doesn't want to look at her right, cause she prefferes to ignor younger people - it's like they are aliens, no longer from her world. Great one, Alex! Cheers, s.

cosorpa 0 Posted September 10, 2006 I'm absolutely charmed and hipnotized. Very psychodelic vision of time passing. It brings to my mind Jean-Pierre Jeunet's movies. Great job with composition and post processing. Big congrats. Link to comment
