Last Plane to Lisbon

Jack...Great timing to get the plane to bring a touch of red up in that great sky(much likte those we have here) to accompany the red spots down below.Very''yours'' and excellent shot.Salutations-Laurent

This one grabs you. The sky dominating space yet subordinate to the reds and lines that introduce balance and context. I am doing a pitiful job trying to describe your zen laced visual poetry. But even this unenlightened one recognizes the quality of this image. Bravo, Jack.

Excellent work Jack!

Strong stylish picture and title, Jack! Beautiful frame, composition, colors ... Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Jack,

 

a very appealing photo, despite the ominous atmosphere it radiates. The dark sky, although obscure looking, seems to be still free and gives way to the 'last plane to Lisbon' (does that refer to an actual situation or is it an imaginary title?). On the ground however, fences, ropes, pennants and angry-colored speakers seem to obstruct free movement totally, reaching in the air to limit freedom. Beautiful color contrasts, fine composition. Very nice indeed! Kind regards, Vincent

Laurent, Wayne, Patrick, Tatiana, Vincent. Thank you for your nice comments on this picture which is one of my recent favorites. Vincent asked about the title - real or imagined. It actually refers to a key plot device in a classic movie. Can anyone guess which one?

Casablanca?

Vincent - Bingo!

I think I can learn from this one. The principle of the eye going to contrast is invoked doubley. The plane is recognised, of course, by being isolated against the sky; and also the bottom has a multitude of elements as opposed to the austere top.

Dystopic image connected to the Corona virus pandemic (my interpretation). I'm very grateful to live in the digital age when social contacts are limited.

Jack, this is a matchless image that set words to my feelings. BR, Arthur
