Windy Day

Having recently given up digital photography and gone back to film,

I would appreciate your critique, however virulent.

What a coincidence!!. See this one please: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1941425

I guess there are a million similar pictures, but this one was particularly easy to take. I liked your one - has a comic Italian feel.

I like it, It is original. Nice portrait of life

The necktie, sleeves and hair tell a lot about what kind of a day this guy was having. Nice capture.

yes a lucky shot - but we all know just being lucky doesnt make a good shot - a lucky good photographer does :-)

 

lovely

cheers

comment when you give low rating.

Maria, I left you comment below the picture. Hope you think I was fair. Could you comment on your 3/3 for this one?

What is going on with this guy's sleeves. I am glad you came back home to film. Have you ever tried Efke?

No never tried it. Is it easy to develop? The sleeves were not the only thing strange about this guy I can tell you. I find it funny all the thousands of people who looked at the picture maybe never noticed the "truth" behind the picture. It's totally a real shot and unmanipulated in any way. And was spontaneous. I just saw this opportunity and had to photograph it. It's nearly Friday so unless someone guesses I will reveal all tomorrow.

How about: "the guy is not in motion" for an answer to the mystery of your intriguing picture!

Gagné - But why then isn't he in motion? I do detect a hint of sarcasm in your response? Or am I being parano?

Dear John (this is not a dear John letter), maybe the guy is a mannequin or a mime? I'm sorry you thought I was sarcastic. I wasn't. I like your picture!

Chapeau Marie-Claude, vous etes la seule personne qui a devine la verite. La cravate, et la chemise etaient en fer. Cette personne etait totallement immobile. La seule difficulte pour moi etait le fait qu'il y avait au moins cinquante personnes a gauche qui le regardaient stupefie par son discipline. Mes excuses pour mon Francais de pietre qualite, et je suis content que vous n'etiez pas decue par la verite. On verra si les autres sont aussi perspicaces que vous!

There is nothing to reveal. The shot was obviously staged, even if you took no part in the production.

Monsieur Prouty - It's especially obvious given that the explanation is already written above. No prize coconut for you I'm afraid.

This caught my eye right away ....I enjoyed it yes it has a few minor flaws but they do not matter to me still a great image and a fun capture!

Well lucky for me, since I don't like coconuts.

 

But all kidding aside I must say I'm a bit confused as to some of the high ratings and a few of the comments. It just surprises me that (as you mention above) so few people on a photography site would not understand what they are looking at.
