Yoyr deep and dark tones are always something that create such a lasting imapct. Something I want to copy but don't know how to!!! Extraordinary work indeed.

Hola Horatiu,
Pues yo si que creo que es una imagen muy de tu estilo y creo haber hecho crítica de alguna otra similar. Me gustan mucho los fuertes contrastes y los intensos colores que nos presentas y creo que son una marca tuya. Por supuesto, perfecto el lugar donde has emplazado a esas tres personas, carentes de nitidez y por lo tanto anónimas. Excelente trabajo.
Saludos,
Mirari

Hello Horatiu,
Great colours: dirty yellow against dirty green. The graffiti works perfectly here. Well done once again.

Nice contrast with the two parts of the picture. The light and the colours go together.

Hello Horatiu,
Well observed this corner with its smiley face and the gang of three plotting who knows what ;-) Good framing and superb gritty colours.

Bonjour Horatiu
Un bon cliché d'un des aspects de la vie quotidienne avec ces personnages qui discutent au coin de la rue et le mur délabré illuminé par un beau sourire.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi, Horatiu.
Poeple are not sharp enough, but despite of this flaw, I like this scene...
I think that this draw (green smile) ;) on the wall gives a smile to all scene...
I don't know if people are really smiling or not, but it is my impression.
So, a green smile for you, too ;).
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi horatiu,
strong colours and a classical "golden ratio compo".
Good photowork !
Cheers Chris

Well seen Horatiu, nice smile that brings one back:-).
I think I would prefer the people more in focus and the whole window to be shown, nevertheless it is an attractive image, with very good colors as you know how to make them in special toning and a bright mood:-)You really make the most out of your Powershot, all along your images, my compliments once more for your work.

Have a nice evening
Michèle

Hi Horatiu,
You already had your green smiley, and thanks for ours :)
I generally don't like yellow tones but in this photo it is very compatible with wall in backward and frame of window.
Three happily talking man in the watch of green smiley.
I like composition and colors
Congrats

In your best style. And my reference:

Hi Horatiu,

so colourful! So vivid and with a smiley?! :) A beautiful way to show romanian old walls with still so much life in them. Who gives them life? People. Yes, people. That people on your shot and other hidding behing the crafted fence of a window. In contrast to some comments i prefer people being blur, cause I see this image not about people but about places with people. And green smileys. :) And here goes one for you.

Hugs,
Jeri

Hello Horatiu,
Great picture.. nicely composed with the graffiti working perfectly well here.. Regards from Warsaw..

bantonbuju (51815) 2008-03-31 13:40

this is such a great minimalistic photo, horatiu...no need to talk much about it, this photo speaks volumes itself - real, ordinary life is there...
bw, j.

bwiti (402) 2008-03-31 14:02

C'est exactement ce qui s'appelle un bokeh, mon cher Horatiu... J'imagine que cela était fait intentionnellement ?
En tout cas j'aime beaucoup cette juxtaposition de ces trois hommes et ce dessin d'enfants.... Tu vas dire que j'ai toujours quelque chose à dire, mais je regrette que tu n'ais pas cadré les pieds également....
Beau boulot, à plus....

maltese (22909) 2008-03-31 14:18

Salut Horatiu
Pas de problème, elle le mérite son sourire vert!!
Une belle gestion de la MAP qui rajoute une ambiance un peu mystérieuse, mais que complotent les trois personnes en arrière plan?
Très bon boulot
Amicalement
Hervé

rigoletto (34279) 2008-03-31 15:24

I love the natural (maybe a bit saturated) colors here. Semi-greeny-smile is the most charming element ever in your gallery. And pleeeeese show Sibiu in colors. At least in WSs.

parbo (11092) 2008-03-31 18:10

Hello Horatiu,

Your focus is splendid with extreme contrasts of the "real" corner of yellow. Green facade, their blurry standing, graphites, ferrous ornament perfectly captured. Marvellous usage of lights. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

tehanu_f (6896) 2008-04-01 1:32

Hey, you have a colourful post...and even a cheerful smiley! Must be the spring lifting up your spirits. ))) Even our Rigoletto the Prince of Dark likes it. Well seen and shot.

Fusun

Hello Horatiu,

I really like the colors in this shot. They have been so weel balanced. The scene looks almost out of a movie.

Great shot.

Hello Horatiu,
Very funny corner ;))I like this scene!
green smile for you, too ;)
regards

polter (7239) 2008-04-01 13:28

The main object as bokeh and sharp foreground just for pleasure :)) Attractive and effective. Like the idea. The execution horatiu-like - well recognizable :)))
Greetings and smiley in return T.

papagolf21 (152607) 2008-04-02 15:07

Bonsoir, cher Horatiu,
Toujours l'art et la manière de faire d'une photographie un moment de poésie, un moment de la vie, un moment de la vie quotidienne avec une pointe d'humour.
Très bien vu.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Horatiu
Wonderful tones and colours in this very good composition. Excellent POV and nice contrast with the two parts of the picture
Have a nice weekend
Aires

xuaxo (6854) 2008-04-05 9:57

Salut Horatiu
Very interesting photo. More than from a fairy tale, it seems a rather surrealist scene.
Maybe I'd prefer that you included the whole window.
Regards,
F

yanseiler (20) 2008-04-08 16:28

Hum a lovely combination of colors, the subtle OOF gives a nice plus...

marietom (34611) 2008-04-16 9:44

Hello Horatiu,

j'adore ton coin, belles couleurs, matières bien usées, et des personnages très bien placés en plus.
Belle image.
Bonne soirée
Marie

sebinho342 (19329) 2008-05-09 9:52

Hi Horatiu, i was directly attracted by this one in your recent gallery, i like it a lot, love the yellow and green here, your choice of focusing ... I just wonder about the window, was it better to avoid it ? Or to get it full ?
Nevermind, the global tonality, the contrasts and those three people debating in a corner of this picture is excellent

brevbrev14 (140) 2008-06-12 13:11

Hi Horatiu, very very good composition and fantastic colours
i like a lot the result here
i like the space of the yello wall
the treatment is good too
bravo!
ciao!
Valeria

BennyV (34780) 2008-11-12 1:15

Hello Horatiu,

You have a very interesting gallery. This is what I'd call a trademark shot of yours: the framing, the rough and pure colours (sometimes bl/w), the darkness and the fleeting people, almost always the most important element in the scene, yet never getting the full focus, always interestingly vague...and all this covered with an interesting title, an observation/interpretation by you as photographer.

I can see you trying to expand on this in your latest posts. Although they're pretty good too, it's scenes like this I keep returning to, as they leave more to the imagination. I also like the more 'arty' approach here. It will be very interesting to see how you develop as a photographer, thanks for sharing this progress on TE!

Benny
