Lonesome & Headless - Reflection in a Shop Window - Rome 2009

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

Very interesting and carefully composed scene, where the array of light bulbs add certain feminine touch to the whole. Well observed and crafted.

Good shot with interesting patterns, contrasts and lighting.

A wonderful feeling to this photo, almost a study in levitation. This is really a photographer's picture.

I like how you've balanced the different elements here; curved vs angular lines, light vs dark tones... Very elegant.

Lots of places of interest. Good B/W too.

BR,

A well balanced composition

Generally, I am not drawn greatly (in my work or that of others), to work taken in stores of store displays, lights, mannequins etc., but I still take such shots, because they provide fertile material for the photographer -- after all they themselves are created by design professionals in almost all cases and are inherently 'interesting'.

 

This is a terrific example of where you have taken some things put nearby up high in a shop or store and juxtaposed them, and they have made a very interesting and wonderful design.

 

As such, it is a charming and graceful shot -- very artful and singular among your works for its approach, and one more way in which you show you are keeping 'fresh'.

 

Even Cartier-Bresson from time to time took photos of interesting walls and shop windows, so you are in good company.

 

I looked today at your portfolio and was immediately drawn to this photo for its very nice composition -- its great lines (as well as the 'bulbs' which punctuate the curving lines, which make them most interesting).

 

There also is the somewhat unobtrusive 'blocks' or rectangulars/squares in this photo for a motif that most will not notice but which is almost necessary as a theme for helping make it more than a simple photo. In fact, without the 'blocks' or 'right angle' structures' I doubt this photo would be complex enough to capture my attention so. (but I doubt many -- perhaps any - would notice them).

 

I noticed and endorse other comments above, but I do not repeat them here, as they are well taken and do not need repetition.

 

Thanks for sharing this very nice photo.

 

Health and hugs.

Hola Giuseppe.

 

It has an excelent and wonderful composition, the angle of view makes a nice perspective play. Congrats.

 

This shot jumps out from your portfolio when having a look to see what lost during the time I was working in life things.

 

Abrazos.
