looking at karen kasmausky's photo

I like it as it is . Nice capture!

Wow!!! Excellent shot, dear Andrea...brilliant composition...lovely tonality... the photo on the gallery wall itself gives a kick...the woman at the right hand side makes the image very special and unique in composition...just brilliant...my best

A moment so well caught,and message from this is excellent,I think wasn`t easy for you to do this in a gallery but you did it,congratulations.

Per quello che si diceva: la foto esposta non è merito tuo :-). Ma tu hai saputo aggiungere (o è stato per caso?) due elementi essenziali: la prospettiva profonda sulla destra e la posa plastica del visitatore.

Ha un impatto visivo ed estetico particolare.

tatjana, thanks a lot for your attention, really.

kallol, radu, luca, thanks to you too, your words are are lovely to read

it's exactly as you notice in your explanation, the right edge also imho adds to this shot, not only because when we cover it, the photo becomes flatter but also because it creates some tension between the foreground and the background. It's probably a matter of taste but while looking at the crop as is, it raises much more curiosity than the tighter crop. At first sight it may look as an accidential shot but it's clear that every component within the frame is carefully thought out. I think your patience has paid off, great to know you were working in comfortable conditions. Ciao:-}

After reading the interesting and informed comments and discussions above, I can only say that the woman with the scarf on the right is on a diagonal line (golden line composition) with the man viewing the picture, as well as with the picture and its elements itself. In a way it balances the image and furthermore, gives more context and meaning to the photo. Creative, and humorous image Andrea, also nice lighting and black and white. Ciao. Dara

wieslaw, dara, thanks a lot for yours exaustives comments, it's nice you agree with my opinion. and sorry, i didnt see this comments before, busy days here... ciao

Bellissima foto Bella come tutte le altre. Complimenti!!!! Roberto

roberto, ciao e grazie. finalmente ti incrocio su pn, adesso potrò anche conoscerti fotograficamente. uno di questi giorni ti fischieranno le orecchie.....

This shot immediately drew my attention. And it made me smile when I first opened it in large. Only later as my eye wandered did I spot the woman with the scarf. Great shot, wonderful composition. I loved the man looking at the woman in Kasmausky's photo with apparently looking back at him. Then for a little icing, I got to read some very informative, education back and forth comments below. It's always a joy to walk away from a photograph feeling you learned a bit both by looking at and reading about it.

mark, thanks for your attention and for your comments, complete and interesting. ciao!
