what a freakin great moment...If you did not ask her to pose...which I think you didn't...what fantastic moment...the tones and composition jezz kick butt...I like how the ledge that she is sitting on does a MC Escher thing when it gets past where she sits...Perfect...juan

 

I was going to comment on your ability to find the precise moment to take a picture (moment and place) but I see Juan has beaten me to it. I couldn't imagine encountering such an empty promenade in Osaka. Also, I'm indebted to Juan for pointing out the amazing disappearing ledge.

Such a well-composed image. You've placed the protagonist perfectly in the scene such that she feels wholly contained and balanced amidst all the lines of the corridor.

Very nice DOF Ton, entering in by the figure and from her till the vanising point. great angle, and timing.The vast DOF accentuates her lonliness in this vast space.

Juan, thanks; indeed this is not posed, it wouldn't have worked if it had been. I like your Escher reference ;-)

 

Jack, thanks for such a nice compliment. I can imagine Osaka being a much more crowded place. This is too but I took it on a early Sunday morning which helped a lot and as you know no one faires well without a certain amount of luck.

 

Thanks Jeff, I'm a big fan of modern architecture but those guys in the past sure knew what they where doing as well. It makes for great photo opportunities

 

Thanks Pnina. It was a great find and a dead giveaway.

 

Wonderful new posts. This is so interesting for all the reasons the learned gentleman commenting before me have mentioned. Just wonderful perspective and a wonderful moment in time. You did real good here.

I do appreciate it. Having some time off helps.

Tremendous, Ton. The quality of the light on the windows and the surrounding metalwork is really the final touch for me. As everyone else says, timing and composition are superb. It's always nice to go traveling with you!

Thanks Matt. Going out hunting with you isn't boring either ;-) Actually I feel rather fortunate that I'm able to get to so many interesting places

Ton, thanks for your time spent in commenting one of my "ideas"....

 

I saw your file and you have good eye to see special moments....Like this one...!!! could have been a natural shot or she could have been posing for you.......but...it has meaning it has scence....story

 

Regrads.

Great image. Interesting sense of depth and scale and a good composition. The placement of the girl inside the frame is perfect. The very smoth light and the perfect bw conversion and resulting beautiful tones of grey make me like this image very much. Regards.

thank you. It's a pleasure to find and enjoy good ideas as you call them. Glad I found your work.

thanks. Great light is always a big help

Ton, if someone had to write an essey about photography but could use only one picture to tell it all, this would be it! All fundamentals of photography are here!

 

Great composition, tones, DOF....the lot- Fine work.........Its always good to see

Great shot, congratulations about you were there in that magic location and instant to get this wonderful shot. Excelent lights.

 

Best regards.

Very impressive capture, great DOF, wishing you all of the best

Nice moment you've captured here. I like the composition, dept and tones in this, well done.

I looked at this and KNEW it wasn't posed!

 

WHY?

 

because of the flip flop

 

EXCELLENT!

The length of the picture is just wonderful
