Clocks perspective....;-)), Thanks , Pnina

Thanks

strong lines from the columns and roof, and really like the two clocks. Draws you into the picture. The lower edge feels a little cut off. I would like to have seen more of the column bases and the feet of the people in the doorway?

Great shot. Don't change a thing. I love it.

Keith,When you have to decide where to crop, you have to decide what is more importent in a given composition. The upper part with the clocks, the cailing ,and the colonnade were more importent than the base that is seen in part and I think is enough. The people were there but are not the main subject in the composition. Welcome to PN, and thanks.

 

Martin, thanks as well, I'm glad you like it.

Well composed Pnina. Very tight.

you chose just the right camera position, Pnina. impressive perspective, and very natural colours.

humans can be so small... impressive picture!

excellent ....

All these straight lines makes a strong picture Pnina. The decorations of the ceiling and the ornaments are beautiful. Though I like the composition very much (colours, light, clocks) I'm not sure about the crop at the bottom. Now the lower part is still missing till the base, I think I would prefer to cut off a bit of the bottom part just there where the second circle of the poles turns into the first one (on my screen it's only 5 mm from the bottom) and clone out the upper part of the body's and people's heads. I think it will bring complete serenity in the picture. I hope that you understand what I mean to say in my clumsy English, Pnina and I hope you don't mind my remark. It's only my humble opinion while you are the real master in art.

 

Hugs and all the best Pnina, Ada:~)

Thank you all for your feedback..

 

Ada, I understand what you say and of course I don't mind, as I like to read the Impressions of viewers. Like your problem in the bookstore ...That place is full! but full with tourists, I waited for the moment that the colonade will be empty, but it did not happen and my time was limited, so I cropped it with the people at the end( and still had to clean some parts of people walking....;-)) ). I think that taking into account the circumstances, I liked the results, and decided to leave the people as part of the scene.

Thanks my friend. Pnina

Superb!!!! lines, lighting and shadows. Love the two clocks that give a very good DOF. Great pattern too. Shalom dear Pnina

Impressive depth Pnina! Symetry is stunning and the people in the far far far background give us a good idea of the scale.

Excellent composition,very good exposure,light and DOF,Pnina. I agree with you absolutely that in this composition,the pillars, the ceiling and the clock are accentuated and the human beings are relegated to the background. I feel you could not have achieved the converging lines,if you tried to show the crowd at the end,which in any case is out of focus.

I LOVE this! What I like is that the impression is that the hallway & columns go on into infinity, but the clock in the distance stops the eye at the last minute. Nice!!

Spencer my friend, thanks for your constant support! Shalom

 

Yann, thanks for stopping by and your written comments

 

Amal, glad that you agree with my reasoning, I tryed tio explain it the best I could.

 

Lou Ann, thanks again, How was Boston? and the 10-22mm results? I'm curious!

 

Pnina

Excellent depth. The tunnel of columns draws one into the passage way, the clock provides an interesting element to the image. Very well captured, Pnina.

Good composition tha works with the subject to allow the viewer to make their own story and meaning about the shot. I see the regular march of time in the clock and the columns and humanity caught inside.

Cherlyn and Colin, thanks for your written point of view.

Pnina, everything has been written here. Very interesting photograph, nice concept. When I looked at your image I came across a funny idea, I would try a double exposure and use the second photo made for example 15 minutes later as a layer covering only the second clock. This colonnade would symbolize the passage of time and the picture would get a new meaning. Still it would be an obvious manipualtion and the photograph is very meaningful as it is. What do you think?

Love the symmetry here Pnina and the muted colours, especially the coppery tone of the clock. The clock being so dominant here and the people so small gives alot of meaning to the image. A suggestion; I'm wondering if it could afford to lose the very top section, from just below the cap on the pillar on right?

Fantastic viewpoint and perspective Pnina. Particularly, the title is fitting and the manner in which the background clock "mirrors" the first is indeed lovely. Excellent composition. Regards, Kelvin.

Thanks, Michal, Mike and Kelvin, I appreciate your contribution.

 

Michal, thanks for taking the time and for your suggestion, for sure an idea, but I don't manipulate my photographs... ;-)) My aim is to observe the special in our human life, special corners, situations, phenomenons, creations etc. and create my work through it. But you are always welcome Michal, I'm ready to listen to ideas and more points of view.

 

Mike, I have tried it and it does not help the composition imo.Thanks for your comment and offer, I appreciate it.

 

Kelvin, Thanks as well, I love your dance images.

 

Pnina

This is one of the best photos I've seen on Photo.net. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely capture! The repeated shapes and lines are mesmerizing. I would suggest sacrificing the top of the first pillar in order to get the legs of the people in the picture (sorry if this was already suggested above).
