The Broken Lamp

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

Lovely. For me the picture is made by the thin border of light that picks out the man's arms and head that makes him look as if he has been chiselled into the scene. How you managed that trick on such an overcast day, I don't know.

... very good light colors details and composition ...

Nice use of color and tonality, the brownish colors of the man's coat, the wall and the trees brings harmony and makes an impression of unity between the man's life and the surrounding nature and architecture. The broken lamp tries to spoil this state with a very little effect:). Welcome back Giuseppe, thank you for sharing, -wm

Brown and Grey! Nice light, composition, contrast and title. Human element works well here. Best Regards.

This photo is rising upp av its own color magic.. Excellent compo too! Warm regards / Janis Lukas

for your positive comments. I have another photo of this man, taken from a different pov that will be posted in a few days. (it seems it's my fate to meet solitary men staring at the world behind them with hands in their old coats :-)) This one (I think) belongs to the "Solitude" folder. Thank you again, Giuseppe

Grande fotografia con titolo...da osservatore!...Ciaomau!

So, this is how it looks when a eminent B&W photographer treats the colors. This subtle color scheme fits well your theme and seems you were fortunate with the burst of sunrays creating that lovely aura on him. Kudos.

I was lucky indeed. After quite a long stop (for me) I decided to go town with my camera, and as soon as I got out the car, my "usual" man in a coat was there. The gentle gods (goddesses) of photography decided to open up a bit that dark blanket covering Rome, and here we have the result under the mysterious form of a golden aura. I think I could have titled this one "Golden Age" and that - probably - could have been ok. thank you so much, Giuseppe

I like the mood and that details that make one photo difrerent. Not only the " broken lamp" took my attention, but also the slight difference of tonality: from open grey ( left corner) to dark grey( right corner). The presence of the source of light is very well suggested through that thin line on man's coat ( as someone noticed already). What can I say, excellent image! Congrats!
