"On your Marks.."

23-3-2011 Uncropped

<smile>...immaculate timing... why would anyone want to crop this! ...superb work, Olaf. I like where the light is...

You found the perfect light and captured it, Olaf. Great job!

 l like the contrast in texture between the hair and jacket and super lighting and also great timing. A super street shot.

I will have whavever it is she is having. perfect lighting just one small detail.. the blur in the right corner somewhat of a distraction... but not a photo maker or braker... take care sam

She should have eaten that awfull (!) blur..! Yes, in fact a braker. I already moved a bit to the left, some more and I would have missed the moment. Was just standing in between people. Oh yes.., this lady planned to consume a Vietnamese spring rol..!

I believe you are disrespecting human being here..

I miss your stories..

I notice a great (!) older Lady being already for sixty five years in the Netherlands and coming from Ambon, Indonesia. The people, the husbands are ex- militairy, were always wanting to serve our former Queen Wilhelmina. Very loyal people, knowing hospitality and with a great sence of humor.

This shot even could have been from our former greatest Dutch cineast Bert Haanstra. He made several well known movies about the daily life of the Dutch people in the sixties. And.. he filmed with a great sence of humor just loved by every one..! We were seeing ourselves in the mirror. However, his often helarious shots were always gently and mild. Bert would have congratulated me on this image !
