An Ordinary Man's Slices of Life

Thank you!

I liked this when I first looked at it -- it's a good shot -- but the more I look, the more I think that it has everything to make it a great shot. The lighting, expression, the focus. It's just the framing that isn't quite ... there. Maybe you could crop more off the left -- anything that might help make the hands more prominent. To me, it's the hands that make this shot.

The lighting is especially pleasing.

An other great B/W composition. I like really your technic (lighting ans focus) and your point of view. Best regards

7 salami misti.... il solito, el, luce perfetta, foto semplice che parla, personaggio, azione, collocazione. insomma, sto definendo la fotografia

very good life shot...congrats

Vedendo la tua foto mi e' tornata in mente l'idea di fotografare le persone che fanno questi lavori che incrociamo tutti i giorni...Questa foto mi piace molto!Ottimo BN,ottima inquadratura...Erano buoni i salumi?Salutoni..

someone said that every man has his five minutes on public media in his life. i'm sure that this 'ordinary man' has his time much longer than five minutes through your picture on PN, maybe on ther medias too. excellent shot. it's an interesting concept of 'slice of life', maybe it could be developed to a series pictures.warm regards.

Light makes this photo a special one Elena. I love it... Bravissima!

I'll say ciao to Phil's statue for you tomorrow :-)

Ciao!!

Thank you dear friends for visiting again. I appreciate your evaluations and comments very much. Enjoy the remaining hours of the weekend. El

 

 

to Chan:...........I don't know about the 'five minutes' but there is an Andy Warhol statement from 1968: "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Thanks again for your considerations, Chan. Regards, El

 

So, if you are in Dublin put a flower on the strings, take a good pint and do some 'dancing in the moonlight'....Have fun, enjoy and make some shots!!!

Muy buen Blanco y Negro, con una luz ideal para este retrato. Buen trabajo

 

Saludos
