3 Men 1 Woman - Via del Corso - Rome 2009

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

Hello Giuseppe

 

Almost always you are right but now I think there is only half woman :-))

 

Excellent work!! Best regards, my friend

yes, you are right! Thank you for your appreciation. This is the 2nd version of this work, re-edited and cropped after some "numeric" complaints. Ciao, Giuseppe

I like the composition with the main subject being ignored by the others. Nice image. Regards, Jean-Marc

I like it. Aesthetics 5, originality 6. Good juxtaposition of the three subjects and of the poster. Only one remark: the contrast is really high. Don't you think that the photo could benefit from slight softer tones?

PS wonderful expression of the man in the foreground!

and for the comments. Luca, I will try a "softer" version and see what comes out, although some of my last shots have been post produced with contrast higher than usual in order to give more dramatic appearance. Thanks a lot for visiting and commenting, ciao, Giuseppe

I did not think of the intentionality of contrast. In that case it could be more, instead of less.

Very good street candid and interpretation, Giuseppe. Wouldn't change anything...Saluti - El

I have several photos on this theme, which you may recognize, but you definitely have outdone me; this is the new reference.

 

Bravo!

thank you for stopping by and sharing your point of view.

Luca, contrast and "intentionality" are surely an interesting matter of discussion: as a quick reference I'd like to point you out to the works of Mario Giacomelli (http://www.mariogiacomelli.it/), a great photographer and artist whose productions are among my favourites;

El, this work has been quite a treat to post produce, because its framing and composition had been decided some moments before I pressed the shutter, but the right tone and contrast - well, they have been very difficult to choose and post produce. Eventually I decided to push the contrast till I almost lost (larger, printed version) details in the dark areas. Thanks for your appreciation;

John your works on contemporary urban life and your research on geometry, symmetry and harmony are a sure reference for all of us. I am honored by your comment. At first I had decided to title this one "Three Ages of Man Under Feminine Eyes", but that would have been such an explicit forced interpretation by the author that I preferred to post it with a neutral title and leave to the viewers any interpretation they could extrapolate from this work. Thanks so much

Giuseppe

Excellent eyeshoot! Very good capture and fìne b/w, bravo Giuseppe!

Regards! CL

Ah!...queste donne! Basta uno sguardo,...anche a meta'!...Ciaomau!

Expressive street capture

happy to know you liked this one, ciao, Giuseppe

Yes, I also think this is a specially good street photo. Congratulations !

Very nice; I like the contrast how it is. The moment is special because you captured the man's expression in the first plan and this makes the whole difference in this shot. tchau! MF

I always appreciate your visits. Thank you for leaving your comment, ciao, Giuseppe

It is a pleasure to look everyday to a new photo where I learn about composition, and everything else. Your portfolio gives me this chance. tchau! MF

in fact "3 generations 1 woman". i havn't seen the 1st version yet, but i guess it could be better if it was cropped from the top and add more space to lower part

I like the composition of this, Giuseppe. It's a quick study of people's expressions when they think they are anonymous.
