trisha jean-angela 5 Posted August 6, 2010 A very interesting capture; makes for some interesting story telling! Nice work and great eye! Thank you for sharing. :) Link to comment
celasun 0 Posted August 7, 2010 Obviously, the unusual viewing angle works nicely here.However, I especially liked the feeling that everything seems to be decorating the world of the dominating figure of the nearby girl. Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted August 10, 2010 Thanks Trisha, I appreciate it. Bulent, what can I say? I deeply appreciate it you sticking with me. I'll be back soon. Drew, thanks a lot, really Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Welcome back, Ton. You have definitely been missed.I just love this. The women appeared to be bored witless while the men are fully engaged, a sports event by any chance? Link to comment
pnital 36 Posted August 11, 2010 This is a "wow"photo. I like the triangle/angle/diagonal form of construction "built"with human around. A nice melange of what looks advertising and real life ensamble.One of your very best. Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted August 29, 2010 Really a classic shot, Ton. Not only a photo that stops you in your tracks but even more a beautifully balanced image in both composition and tone. This is a big picture. Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted August 30, 2010 thanks Jack. I'm slowly getting back here. Have a lot of catching up to do. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 2, 2010 I appreciate the tableaux feel this has. Though it's clear that it hasn't been, it has a feel of being somehow directed, especially the people on the top layer. What I respond to most is that feeling the spontaneity can have a sense of pose. Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted September 4, 2010 tableaux, what a great word to describe it and one I didn't think of myself. As far as (the feeling of) directed is concerned you know that the low angle of view is responsable for that. Thanks. Link to comment
katzpjs 50 Posted September 4, 2010 An interesting photograph, but I get the impression that the upper platform is not really meant for pedestrian traffic. Yes, the girls appear to be bored or a bit distressed. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 4, 2010 It's more than just the low angle, which is very much part of it. For me, it's as much if not more the sense of almost intentional pose and gesture (though I know it's not posed). Link to comment
tonmestrom 4 Posted September 12, 2010 I know Fred. It got me thinking about one of your recent threads in the Philosophy forum which I read with great pleasure. To be honest sometimes you see a scene like this and you react both with an amount of instinct and purpose. Link to comment
cyanatic 0 Posted September 4, 2012 in media res! Very cool. No idea where or what, but it is a wonderful plunge into human activity. Link to comment
