Ein schnaps bitte !

Bitte ?!... Hallo !

:)

Great feat dear colleague friend.

Congrats Pierre ! 

Thank you for your visit my dear friends!

Shane, you didn't notice the camera used, no ISO speed ratings there! I don't think the camera shake effect harms this picture, on the contrary, I think it gives it a painterly look which I wanted!

Kein Schnaps mein sehr lieber Freund! Dies ist eine Teestube! Vielen Dank!

Pierre, cher ami.

Ami majuscule, tu le sais !

 

I have a credo:

"An artist should never explain his art. The art explains the artist."

Do I have at least an admirer ?!

 

Yes you do. You have at least three: Me, Myself and I

 

If not a schnaps pub, I would like a Darjeeling G.F.O.P. Runglee Rungiot, please ;)

Darjeeling is the best so far.

Just modern, with all the little brand labels all over him.  I like it a lot.  best, j

mi piace questa disciplina,e compostezza,tipica di un fuori luogo !

la vita reale è quella alle spalle,che si baciano.............:-))

saluti a Pietro il Grande !!paul

Fantastic, my friend. Outstanding technique. Well done 

Very atmospheric shot , the artificial light has given a nice mellow and warm feeling . Looks as though your subject is concentrating on keeping still . Hand held was very brave , I know I wouldn't attempt it at my age ! Bill

Great shot with nice overall tonality.Thanks for sharing.

My best regards.

Has an old world flavor.  Quite different from your style but I like it a lot. 

Nicely done Pierre! This has a Rembrandt feel to it thanks to the warm lighting, and colors! Well done my friend!

All tyhe best,
Neil

My friend Pierre,

A marvelous work of art, so well accomplished with the film camera and lens.

Your steady hand is impressive as well. I enjoy hand held shots that use extended exposure periods.

A wonderful setting and presentation.

Best Regards,  Uncle Mike

Digital!  No ISO, no Photoshop, no Picasa: why do you live ?!

:))

Pierre,

  Great image with wonderful warm lighting & colors.  Take care, Patsy

Hello my Friend, I too would say this is a little different for you but it still maintains your high standards, very well. I am enjoying the painterly effect achieved by your style and what a face. Take care.

Hi Pierre,

You cannot forget your first love: film photography. Taking a picture with two seconds exposure, using a 30 years old camera without stabilization, in low light is almost like operating a view camera without tripod :-)

You have steady hands my friend. Have you tried surgery?

Interesting subject - especially, his almost sad face. He seems to be detached from the crowd, in meditation. I could see him in the church if it wouldn't be for the background so typical for many European pubs (it reminds me of one in my home town).

I really like the couple in background - this was a french kiss lasting at least... two seconds!

Great capture that preserves the atmosphere so well while contrasting with the face of your main character.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Very well done difficult photo. I like the atmosphere here, Pierre. Regards

Bella e interessante: pregevole il "bacio" in sottofondo.

Great work Pierre, you have done an amazing job holding this for 2 sec.

Thanks very much for your encouraging comments on my image.

Rich.

Great job. Excellent casual shot with a great lightning.

Regards. Cosmin

the framing between the two pictures is interesting, a pity that there is something behind his head

A beautiful result, Pierre!

With best regards,

Ruud.

 

Very nicely done Pierre. I recognize the bar from another fine photo you did awhile ago.  I rather like this composition. It reminds me of an 'old world' painting, and your waiter has a rather 'wistful' look, as if he is pondering 'old memories'. I like the feel of  the warm light.

Well done Pierre,

Kindest regards, Gail
