what you probably captured as a street photo, ended in an epic image... there's a huge sense of power and loneliness that comes from the man... a kind of an updated citizen kane... very good one. regards.

Wonderful B&W with a very wide and rich gamut of greys. From a content pov it could be a "hommage a Magritte". Congrats, Giuseppe!

PS: it's a lot of time you don't deal with colour photography...

Mis felicitaciones, Pasquali. Esta es una de las mejores fotos que he visto por aqui en los ultimos tiempo. Lo primero que me vino a la mente fue: esto es un cuadro de Magritte...muy bueno. Saludos, Sergio de los Reyes.

I swear he looks like a man on stage in front of an elaborately painted backdrop. How you manage such clarity I have no idea but to me it's just amazing work.

and ratings. I agree: this could easily be a tribute to Mr. Magritte (a painter whose works I love very much), or Mr Wells (I love Citizen Kane, and some of my low pov's deserve a lot to the great director's cinematographic technique). But - I can't really explain why - I feel this photo is secretely connected with two favourite authors of mine: Mr. Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Gàrcia Marquez.

 

This man could be a metaphysical man, maybe the reflection of every man, and one who lives his dream (long one hundred years) watching from the outside and unable to integrate and merge with that gorgeous landscape. We look at him silently hidden by his anonymous raincoat.

 

An author (so the great masters of structuralism and semiology say) should never talk about his works: they are messages sent to readers, and once they are sent they don't belong any more to the sender, but this time I made an exception that I hope you will pardon.

 

Thank you for your kind welcome of this "message",

 

Giuseppe

Superb composition; high and dramatic contrast is a perfect support to the main subject. 7/7.

 

ps: vedo che condividiamo le stesse basi culturali... ;)
