Why "+5"? Because their walking direction was opposite than the train

that I was. That I name to "catch the moment"...

The street dogs that who have established somewhere in a fixed location are "adopted" by the (human) neighbors. That dogs are vaccinated, castrated (ups!) and protected from dog catchers even they live freely on the street.

...also it's a very impressive image. And I like that the picture seems to be BW but is not...

Good light and very original color palette. Also the composition and good focus make this a very good photo.

 

DanS

A perfect balance! I like the "subjects" but also the scene...

 

Thanks for sharing,

DanS

Everything is just perfect. I like that the colors and the exposure is so natural but powerful.

 

DanS

I like the 'clarity' in that image.

Good work!

 

DanS

Finally a new and original perspective for that subject.

 

Nice seen!

DanS

I like the colors and simplicity. It's a "story" about the light and colors...

 

DanS

Yes, a good example how the leading lines works! Great work!

 

DanS

I like your choice for the entire image but also I would have liked much more only the square crop of the bottom side.

Yes.. the subject is very interesting and in a good posing position and expression! Also the PP is nice and I like what you do.

DanS

Nice image! The image is "clear" and complete. Also I like the composition and the exposure is just fine.

DanS

Nice image and inspiring for some PS collages...

 

DanS

Nice ideea and almost "real": as the first impression - I was thinking the picture was taken as it is because the natural position of the boy and also because the background which is so "vertical"...

 

Good work,

DanS

;) ....I heard about a photographer that takes pictures and then "forget" them a long period of time... And then, after a "clean and fresh" evaluation, exposing them if him still consider worth.

I'm not really a friend of you but I thank you for that finest image and sharing it on PN. And also I wish you all the best in that new year just begun!

I wonder what thinking a child at the first contact with the "degradation". I have also I two year old girl and I was tried to analyze her reaction on a similar subject but has no a "normal" reaction: no repulsion, afraid or compassion. So, I'm thinking: what is the "normal" reaction?

DanS

It's not really a "locomotive" but is a good detail from it: I like the details and perfect exposure for that kind of subject and also I appreciate the composition that is very interesting.

 

Regards,

DanS

The first impression was very good but after I read the Ivan comment I don't know... ;)

No...! I think the orange side was a interesting choice and a good combination with the green in the rest. Maybe is not "the best picture" but is a good start...

 

Regards,

DanS

Perfect exposure for that kind of picture. I can't figure where the sun is but you catch the best moment for a best contrast and full details.

 

Regards,

DanS

Nice, clear and pleasant picture! I like the whitening/fog effect around the flower...

 

Regards,

DanS

I will make this comment because you have A LOT of "more than good" pictures... So, this one have a good subject and composition but the contrast and saturation is not strong enough - not as you usually use. But, overall, is a pleasant and interesting image and the composition is perfect.

Thank you Maurizio! Yes, it is "pretty well a one-in-a-million bird."

Yes, you right: it's an old salt mine closed and turned into a place for recreation and treatment. Although the place is very popular here in Romania, now I was for the first time and it was truly a memorable experience.
