Viva La Liberta, a photo from Victoria, East

Photographer's Note

Not much to say about this shot except that I saw this attractive young lady working on the cash register at a shopping complex in Melbourne, I noticed an interesting tattoo on her neck, I asked what it meant she told me it was Italian for liberty or freedom.
I asked if I could take a shot, took several and this is one of them.

Hi Santo,

I like the off-center placement and in a strange way it does feel like a portrait, though not a single part of her face is actually visible :-).
And what I also like is that you had the courage to ask her for a photograph and you took the time and opportunity to position her well with the wall. Not just a quick and uneasy snapshot near the cash register, no you went out to find a wall with decent light. Bravo!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Santo,

Nice shot. She does look attractive, even from the back. Well composed, the colors look great against the textured wall. I hope she did not get in trouble for leaving the cash register ;)

Best regards,
Lamberto

Hi Santo,
This photo could be used to celebrate today, 25 April, the Day of Libertà in Italy, and the Day of Liberdade in Portugal.

Hello Santo!
I'll repeat Don Quixote's words: "Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts that heaven has bestowed upon men"

Hello, Santo -
A great candid shot, very unusual but intriguing because she seems attractive based on what can be seen, but her face is not visible, so it lends mystery. Her jewelry looks nice against her skin. I like the way you framed the image, and it is both sharp and colorful. Well done.

P.S. - I enjoyed looking through your gallery which contains many excellent shots.

Ciao Santo,

beautiful idea. The quality of the image is great, I feel like I can touch her skin.

Well done!

Gio

P.S. The right spelling is "viva la libertà"
