I like the panning as well and the dark tone.. the Malta is the icing on the cake

So..  much depth and detail looks more like brush strokes. Usually no matter how good the photo or photographer a landscaped photo doesnt ever come close to feeling real as when you are actually there in the moment, but to me this feels very real.

I think its a tie between technically and aesthetic perfection here.. you have done something  right here.

Interesting Dance!

Thanks Tony,, this may have been Spring but where i come from it may be Winter, Autunm or  Spring its all pretty much the same.

A  touching sentiment.. wouldnt that be something....

Thanks Vlad,,, nice comment.

Thank you Jack Tony and Ruud. The lighting makes her seem even more angelic.

The background  reminds me of a kaleidoscope ... the simplicity works for me

Nice atmosphere and taken well under difficult lighting! Gives me a lonely feeling and also a place that i would like to sit at for a few moments as well.

Hi Jack.. i just assumed that she has been a slave to her work as she seems like she has been doing the same tedious work for most of her life and that she should be retired. However for myself i work hard too at having fun and if i had to do this all day every day i would be exhausted. She on the other hand may find this work to be more like pleasure and takes passion in each stitch and has no thought of giving it up? It really is all in the eye of the beholder!

Me siento haornado que erastan talentoso

Beautiful shot and interesting architecture! So much gray concrete and such a tiny window. Maybe he is free or maybe in prison?

Wonderful tone and mood! 

muchisimas gracias!

y ou are right,.. i should have cropped.. thanks

I saw the thumbnail and  wanted to see more. I had a feeling that this was one of yours Jack. What i like is that you have a knack of capturing the essence of people and their culture without any added distractions whistles or bells. 

tHIS IS GREAT. tHE background works so well setting the mood. A7 for sure!

Perfect ,, like Willy Wonka and all that candy stuff. I could see this in a diner somewhere,,, really good !

T hanks Jack... i like his umbrella!

WoW thanks Timothy!

I like this one. The B+W background and the pops of red here and there are a nice contrast. You are observing them and the 2 figures on the wall are watching you BIG BROTHER.

Her eyes tell the story and her Mona Lisa smile!
