You certainly can...I am so glad you like it!

Thank you for your comment on my "reflections in the gutter". This has permit that I remember that I had promised you some time ago a version of my photo with "iridescent effects". I did not remembered for who it was. Now you can see it above.

And thank you also for your visit in my Aubrac presentation.

Regards, and happy new year.

fanatstic shot! now I understand you....nice one.

Hi Denis - I liked this photo the best of your portfolio, with your birdman portrait being a close second. Your passion for photography is evident, and this photo stands out to me as evidence of an "eye" something you can't teach in a photo class.

 

I would encourage you to concentrate more on the gesture of the image. The reason why you are taking the photo, the difference between looking at a person and who that person is. The difference between a thing, and what makes that thing interesting as you've captured here.

 

Keep up the good work!

Tom

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for your comments I am glad you came viewed and liked my shots.

I am not sure a fully understand how to find the "gesture of the image" but thanks for the comments anyway.

 

Cheers!

Gesture

"If I say 'snow,' I could mean anything," Jay says. "Eskimos have maybe 94 words for snow in their language. What they're doing with those words is observing the specific nature of each aspect of something. So when we think of gesture in a photograph, we mean the essential quality of what the thing is doing. "When I talk to people in workshops and classes, I tell them I want them to be very specific in their seeing. I want the man standing in the picture not to be a symbol for a man, I want him to be that man, and I want him to be that man because he's interesting.

 

"Gesture is that thing, that signature that defines whatever it is you're photographing as specific to that time, that moment. It's the thing that makes the subject unique to itself."

Thanks for your comments, I understand now, I will try to think about that more when I shot, I still have a lot to learn and this is great site to do that. It cool that people point out area's where you can improve and insight's like the one you have given me.
