Same Park, Separate Worlds.

Great composition and tonal range. You even managed to get two bicycles into this one :). Excellent work Jack!

very nice as two separate bits

An appropriate title. A very beautiful and well composed photo, excellent perspective correction, the human figures are well balanced,

the roots of the tree, horizontally, contrast with the vertical lines of the trunk and structures on the upper third, ciao Giangiorgio

Very nice street photo which is your standard, Jack! With a little bit drama, silent drama! My sincere compliments! Cheers! PDE

So balanced.

Nice balance in this composition, well seen and presented, take care.

Hi Jack,

 

I like the fact that you've presented this urban scene in B & W; it's easier to focus on the essential features of the photo without possibly distracting colors. The two worlds are visually separated by the tree, although the postures of the two men are very different and speak for themselves. As Patrick said, the tonal range is very good. The guy on the left could be on his way to the gym, the man on the right looks pretty lost. But that is just speculation. Kind regards, Vincent

Vincent - Thanks you as always for your well-considered reaction to this picture. In this post-literate world of ours, you have maintained the ability to express your thoughts clearly and concisely, something of a rarity nowadays.

Unmistakeably Jack's viewpoint of present and sad times. After knowing and following you for many years, I am still awed, and wonder what "unique" element there is "within, embedded" in your photos that immediately catches the attention of fellow photographers. Do you see? Your presence, IMHO is INDIPENSABLE in this forum. I have nothing against Instagram, except that there is too much rubbish and touristy material that only wastes photographers-at-heart time and distracts us. I find, again, with all due respect, PN to "still" be a cozier environment for all of us striving to share our best work. Again, only a humble opinion. Regardless, I send you my deepest respect and admiration, Sensei Jack Sama, with a Japanese, silent bow. DG
