Group Leader - San Pietro - Rome 2009 (dedicated to Добринка & Мария)

Thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions, G.

your viewing angle is perfect. I do not like to put the main subject in the center of picture, but i think this could work well here, if the man was in the exact centre of the picture

He is as much artifact as person. Another statue in a city of statues. The detail is superb.

Very strong and effective use of bw in a beautiful synthesis. Bravo.

Giuseppe

 

A strong one; great B/W tone handling

What attracts my immediate attention is the juxtaposition of the man in the foreground and the obelisk in the background, the man indeed with the flag is like yet another statue in this place. As the title suggests he's a leader of a group which we can't see so it makes me think that either his group is scattered somewhere or he may be the leader of all the viewers looking at this work. The barrier between the square and the place our leader is standing may also have its meaning. The pov and the arrangement of all the components here makes an impression of a stage in an open air theater. Thank you Giuseppe, best regards -wm

Suggestive and perfectly composed b/w, bravo Giuseppe!

Un classico esempio di fotografia che funziona e che non ha bisogno di essere spiegata dall'autore,lasciando libera interpretazione all'osservatore. Complimenti Giuseppe, un'altra immagine molto ben inquadrata, i miei complimenti! Saluti

 

 

Very refined details and contrasts. I actually like that the subject is not exactly in the center. On thing: the sky shown is calling for more of it... Very good composition.

One of the best shot I have seen today. Outstanding effect and the composition. Rgds.

for your comments and rates. I would have liked to have a bit more time to shoot this one more "carefully", but I saw this man as I was entering in St. Peter's, I kneeled and had enough time to shoot only twice before he changed his position. I could have included more sky, but this is photography, a matter of moments. Thank you for your time my friends, Giuseppe.

BTW this is one of my first shots with my brand new D300 and my first impression is that now I hold a true camera in my hands .

Excelente fotografía!....Compuesta por cuatro elementos muy bien equilibrados estéticamente: Un cielo dramático, los edificios, el piso con reflejo y el elemento humano....Un saludo cordial.

Nice composition. The subject looks really like a statue with the obelisk in the background. Interesting angle of view too. Beautiful image. Regards, Jean-Marc

Perfectly composition and nice B&W image ... lovely.

Certe immagini solo tu sei capace di vederle cosi'!...Ciaomau!

Bella molto. A presto, Antonio

Interesting, coming lately fron Verona, San Pietro is so different there ;-)). I like the moment with the man that looks like a statue The breautiful BG and the lighted wet weather.... very well composed.
