janis lukas 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Very nice composition and always intresting ! If the running man did not have his adidas shoes on, one can think that ancient Rome is just around the corner. Now time and past time in coexistence! Thank you Regards/ janis Lukas Link to comment
aarkp 2 Posted May 25, 2009 A very balanced and pleasing composition with good tones. Do I see the reflection of the clock and its supporting frame there below on the marble, in front of the man with the newspaper? Link to comment

giuseppe_pasquali 0 Posted May 26, 2009 and ratings. My dear friends, this shot was taken from under "Galleria Alberto Sordi" in Piazza Colonna (named for the marble Column of Marcus Aurelius). While I was standing there waiting for a Bookshop to open I saw the reading man and heard the horse coming from the left. As soon as I raised the camera the runner (reading something on his mobile!!) entered the scene I had pre-visualized. thank you by heart for commenting and rating, Giuseppe Link to comment

giuseppe_pasquali 0 Posted May 27, 2009 for your appreciation. Antonio asked if this work has been made using HDR technique. The answer is no, although I have brightened the right side of the photo while processing the raw file in order to get out the travertine texture. Thank you again for your time and interest, Giuseppe Link to comment
mauroni 0 Posted May 27, 2009 It's some time I don't visit your "home", Giuseppe, but I was quite sure I would have seen some beautiful work and of course I was right. If things are the ones you described above I should think you are something more than lucky, but obviously it's not that. But I told you about this matter in the very first photo of yours I commented (the penitent ...). Coming to the topic, I think that the black reader is a bit too black and this flattened black figure contrasts with the rich texture of the whole picture. I don't know if from the magic of the raw you can extract some gray levels for the black man to make it a 3D picture instead of the actual 2D, but I imagine that it could add some value to an already wonderful shot.

hossein 0 Posted May 27, 2009 beautiful layered photo with different stories in a perfect composition Link to comment
giuseppe_pasquali 0 Posted May 27, 2009 thank you so much for your comment. You have mentioned quite an interesting "problem". Some people have observed (recently and in the past) that my post productions of back-light shots are way too much hard on the "blacks" of the silhouettes. This is true and comes from my past frequentations in the comics field. Usually when I print these works I am a bit more relaxed with the dark tones (and to shoot in raw format is a blessing). Thanks again for your observations, Giuseppe Link to comment
ektorcoughanour 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Beautiful vertical photo, with several levels of composition, all linked by the TIME!...Complimenti! Link to comment

lrenard 0 Posted May 28, 2009 I love this one because of the paralele it makes between 2 different world. It is reinforced by the portail and the shadow between these 2 people...very good !! Bellisimo ! Link to comment
fabrizio_r 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Very good b/w tones and a equilibrate composition made this shot great, bravo Giuseppe! Link to comment
dgv 1 Posted May 30, 2009 The mental proces of the still man reading the paper is reflected by the pace of the walking man and the moving horse opposite and yet very similar in pace. Vey nice picture,Giuseppe. Link to comment
mark_q 0 Posted June 15, 2009 My bad that I haven't taken a closer look at this one earlier. Maybe you managed to notice that runner and the horse approaching while framing this newspaper reader, but what's most fascinating here is the impressive timing: just look how both the runner and the horse have their forwarding feet in the air, and that of the runner highlighted byt the shiny line bordering asphalt. Further see how nicely the head of the horse aligns with the head of the reader. Very lucky catch! Link to comment
