Gratings (Solitude 2008)

Thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions, G.

 

This work is part of a thematic series on Solitude

The usual meaningful shot Giuseppe. Sooner or later I'll come to Rome or to see some races at "Caprilli"...

Ciao!!

Diego

Sono d'accordo con Diego, i tuoi scatti sono sempre pieni di significato e denotano sensibilità e attenzione all'altro. Bellissima la postura dritta della signora, una solitudine piena di dignità e talvolta proprio per questo più penosa. Inoltre il tuo b/n è sempre impeccabile. Ciao.

Emotive shot. Beautiful b/w treatment. Regards.

I like the greyscale and the general idea, the old woman let even me feel lonely... but i think about how it would look without the gate/fence in front. or the gate closer, just shown in a detail and in result to take more of the house backwards on the pic. just an idea. i was not there... but this is me, sorry, always severe and critical :) best regards

and ratings. As Rita says, this shot could have been titled "Dignity". Pix ie makes some good observations, and I will try to crop the photo and see what comes out. I shot this one without using the viewfinder: I was walking down the street camera in hand (pre-selected f/8 aperture, 1/125 and zoom on 35mm as I usually do for street) when I spotted this lady, the grates and the shadow behind her. I quickly raised my hand and shot imagining the final composition. I left almost un cropped this work as I liked the idea of the lady among iron grated things. Solitude in the urban context is a theme that I have tried to explore in my last photographic sessions and I am grateful to all those PN friends who continuosly support my work with their critiques and suggestions. Ciao, Giuseppe

Wonderful capture, Guiseppe. I love the various lines and shadows, and of course, her body position, both in the frame and on herself.

Giuseppe..A unique and artistic street shot...Great lines...Marjorie
