Alice in the misty park

A homeless woman wandering the ocean park in Santa Monica at 6:00

a.m..... Your comments are invited!

Excellent light and composition.Perfect moment.Fantastic perspective.7/7.Best regards Brad.Janusz.

Another winner, Brad! She looks so young, even from behind. Again, I like that the little bit longer exposure at night gave you a bit more sense of motion.

Thank you Janusz for your visit and kind words of support!

 

Thank you Lou Ann for your warm support to this photo!

 

Yes, she looks young from behind. But rear view often deceives. Actually she is not a young woman... and I am afraid she is mentally sick. She was roaming the park up and down at this early morning hour, greeting everybody she encounters. I could see, at one glance, that she is not a person of normal mental health. I felt sad, following her with my camera lens......

Deeply sad powerful shot. The blur of the moving bags is perfect.

.... the mentally ill account for a very large proportion of the homeless in our country ....

Young and lonenly, This, too ids a wonderful shot because it tells a story.

Another excellent capture with nice motion effect & full of the emotion, My friend, what a depth, love the great piece again!!! Best regards 8/8!

Dear Mark, Lou Ann, Paula, Richard.... I am humbled by your warm comments and supports to this photo. Thank you all!

An excellent and evocative shot. The light, tones, DOF, and careful composition, are wonderfully used here to tell a moving story. Regards...

Wonderful tonality for such a misty night!

Thank you Joseph and Jan for your visits and supports to this photo!

What I like about this image is the fact that you are able to photograph her with such respect and dignity and empathy which is not often seen in images of the homeless.

This is a fabulos image. I love the motion of the women. The B/W gives it such depth. 7/7 LS

Thank you Donna and Lisa for your visits and supports to this image! I am humbled by your words of compliments, yet I have to admit that I, too, personally like this photo.....

Impressive story , very well done.

Great eye for this capture, Brad! Regards
