First lessons

it is another one picture from the Moscow Motoshow-2003. it

illustraits how much is depending from correct croping. Is it

thecorrect crop?

The crop works for me. Square is good. And yup it's a strong picture. I was wondering with that kind of power how come women don't rule the world (then again they probably do, being smart enough to make men think men are in charge) :) Good frame. Cheers,

The little boy's expression is a nice distraction to the beautiful legs. Great shot!!!

You are thirdth person who decided that this kid is boy! It is a girl! Open your eyes!

I thought it was a boy too! I guess the meaning of the frame changes, but the 'new' reading still makes for a powerful image. On a lighter note, Victor, now you know which part of the image held everyone's attention :)

Great shot. The little girls expression is priceless. The models legs aren't bad either.

I don't think that woman could walk 5 meters in those shoes, which is why she's leaning on the car, and which just goes to show you something I've been saying for a long time, that high heel shoes are dangerous to walk in and should be put where they belong...in the bedroom.

 

anyway, this shot is wonderful.

So this is her first lesson as to what it is to be a woman? Maybe this will lead her to become bulimic or anorexic

nice. ok, very nice. I also like the girl's expression.

Those legs don't look to anorexic to me! very elegant pic Victor.

Well seen and well done.

very nice legs:)

It is hard to tell you about the crop without seeing the hole picture, if this is not it. I like the story it tells. From a technical point I'm bothered by the models leg by the strap, looks like a blur line.

Leave the crop as it is. You've managed to capture two uniquely related elements in this picture: First, the little girl's interest in the glamour model (maybe she is envisioning herself becoming a model when she grows up) and two, that sex sells (cars in this instance). The exposure is great and the timing even better. Two thumbs up!

We have to take another look to notice the pigtails, and we should not. Her pigtail in this sepiatone just fades into the background and we have a boy with slicked back hair and what are generally assumed to be boy clothes with the hots for a woman. I guess the picture is perhaps better than the story you want to tell. Since the girl is not looking at the legs, but at the woman, and since we have no idea what the woman is doing or expressing, she could be learning how to do most anything. But the photo looks like there is a woman in a slit dress sprawled across the car, and the girl is looking in her general direction, and that's about it.

What a wonderful shot of what's it's like to be a boy!

I'm jealous why don't we have this kind of shows here in India. Very well composed shot and impressive treatment of subject. Girl's gaze is eqally powerful (to that pair of legs). Even in thumbnail it is EXELLENT.

I love this cropping.

great picture, the little girl's expression is brilliant.

It's all working for me - leg lines, face expression, auto wheel, composition, sepia. The only minor fault to me is the shadow line (flash?) forward - left of the legs and forward of the dress edge. I'd rather the camera been rotated to position the flash on the opposite side and direct the shadows to the right but then the moment would probably have gotten away.

A powerful image for me. I like the crop and the boy in the background. Congrats.

A paradox of an image and so well done (captured). When initially viewed it is assumed that the legs are the subject, but after only a few seconds they become secondary. The subject is the child (boy/girl doesn't matter) and the look of curious amazement or astonishment on her face. After seeing the child, I find the model and her antics (bet she can't even drive) trivial to the real world reflected in the child's eyes. Excellent capture and well presented... Mike

 

 

This is priceless, Victor! Perfect title.

I also thought the child in the background was a boy. That tells us girls should wear girls' clothes.
