excellent observation and both subjects are very well placed within the frame. One immediately makes the link between them.

What is the tale behind that statue ? Looks very interesting, allthough I'm not sure I want to walk past it with my little daughter lol

I find the scene in itself interesting enough, but regrettably the PS blur on the background, which I find rather sloppily done, ruins the photo for a big part for me. Thought it would be better to explain the rather low score

now this is a beauty. great angle, the effect enhanced by the size of that vespa. lots of attitude, and good b&w work

A wonderfull piece of photography. all the elements come out just right.

excellent photo. like the up-close viewpoint, without losing a strong composition. that bit of motion blur is a bonus in this case. And good that you retained some detail in the background. Very beautiful

don't think leaving a bit of colour in works here. it just distracts. My eyes want to go to the girl with the hat anyway. But a nice scene, captured okay

an outstanding photograph. Love it

this is a lot better large, where the dark areas show detail. Good photo

It's a great photo in the sense that the moment you captured is really fab, but in my opinion it is somewhat ruined by your post processing. It mainly bothers me with the boy. I suppose you wanted to make him stand out more from the bg, but for me you overdid it. Now it just feels like you cut and pasted him from another picture. It feels fake. And as he's an important part of the photo, it (partly) ruins the picture and viewing experience for me.

I prefer b&w btw, but think both versions suffer from the same problem.

excellent work. honestly prefer your version to the proposed crop, think it needs the wideness, but good to see both possibilities anyway.

A nice, spontaneous pose, with lush colours and very pleasing dof. The smile definately helps

this is gorgeous. love how the colours and shapes blend.

stands out nicely from the bg. Agree about the yellow strip in the bg being a distraction

clever switching of the same facial side. very nicely done with beautiful result.

My humble submissions and kind request, please justify your so poor rating on my work " The hands of Alchemist" or please upgrade your ratings, Koen my friend!

Best regards and let us be friends, sorry if I ever offended you with my poor ratings, Mr.Koen Pieters,

The custom of receiving nothing but an exuberance of praise must have started to lead you to believe "good" and "very good" are in fact an insult of your work.

As for your insult, comfortably hidden in honeyed words, suggesting my 'poor' rating would be my vengeance for a poor rating you once might have given me... nice try, but no cigar :o)

 

Good photo btw

 

Case closed

 

 

 

 

perfect.

fab subjects, beautiful piece of photography. love that floor

Now that large version is sheer pleasure to scroll through. Excellent

very strong work

very nice work. this must look fab in print

Very beautiful portrait. More a classical portrait than the typical "look, a homeless guy" kinda thing. For me it's a portrait of a man... who happens to be homeless. Anyway, very beautiful

Very much enjoyed viewing this. when the photo opened - top part first - I was quite disappointed at first, that same top part being rather uninteresting. but then the downward scrolling made it all very relevant. It's all about the bottom part, be it that the top part has to be there to make the overall sense of perspective, patterns and distance work. a little gem of a photo.

the texture of the roof, the feeling of space and the low viewpoint make this very impressive. The place would humble any man. Very strong photo. Wanted to go for a 6/7, but aparently I'm not allowed.

That's so scary and overwhelming it made me run away from my PC.

 

terrific capture

:o)

looks a bit surreal. Must be harder than it looks to get them to jump so synchronised, even if they are dancers
