Street ghost in the blue

A raining aternoon in London...thanks for stopping by and any comments/critiques...

lovely and original photo. I would crop the legs and intensify the colors and the contrast a little. Like this:

merhaba,harika bir fotograf,

tebrik ederim,selamlar.

Nice work. By inverting what most of us would have done, you have taken it to a whole other realm. I disagree with the gentleman that suggested a change. I think your original is far better. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Yianni, Jitka, Yavuz and David for your interest and nice comments....David I inverted this one to have the blue sky above as I thought it would have more impact, also suggested to me by Alex Bieth on a former post (but in fact there are lots of very interesting photo inverted here on PN and eslewhere).

Is he Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street,Laurent?:-) Very good composition,exposure and color contrast.

Very interesting and unique...I like it...congrats...LJ

Excellent. Another world for sure.

hi, I hope you don't mind I tried a different crop :)

I like your original better laurent. It's a shame to take the colours off this one, they're beautiful. A perfect picture, very evocative and dream-like. You're flyin' real high!

yes me too. I was just curious to see what it would look like in B&W and a different crop, it's a really nice picture, great shadow and colors. I find the yellow lines a bit distracting though, but that's only a minor detail..

Hi Alex! just kidding! A way of saying I liked Laurent's colours on this one ( the two yellow stripes too, a great addition to me).

Cheers!

Your photo is beautiful Laurent. I love how its so unexpected. A real jolt to the senses. I love its originality. Well done.

Amal, Lesa, Jack, Laurent, Ester...for your nice comments and interest...

 

Alex thanks for your proposal...in fact I like discussions and on-going work (most times more than the final result)...I tried as you have done different crops and BW and so on...but to me the blue sky is important on this one, otherwise I have to change the title...:-)...in fact the blue is what caught my eyes first in what was essentially a monochrome image from the start (beside those yellow stripes)...I first did a shot with nobody, then waited for people to pass, sometimes a group, sometimes a lady, sometimes a man, sometimes too much on the left, sometimes too much on the right...then this lady came for the reflection to be interesting...I spent about 30 minutes in this area...it was worth it and I enjoyed it very much...I upload the original below just to share....regards, Laurent.

just to share...

J'aime beaucoup. Une photographe fran硩se a publie un livre avec des photos de ce genre, intitule "les gens de l'eau". Tout en noir et blanc, tres beau.

i love the up and down sensation. did you tried to give more consistence to the yellow line ? also any idea in b/w ? anyway very good pic.

Very cool picture! I like it!
