Wonderful image. I especially like that it has a feeling of weight to it. The framing is good as well.

@tyan: Good perception Tyan, I felt for her, didn't want to intrude so I took the shot from the hip, pushing the flash down and hoping for the best...thanks a lot :)
A sadness. I wonder if it's the cold or something else. I love the grainy murky effect that seems to reflect the woman's frame of mind and mood. Super.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks a lot Michael and yes I felt it and didn't want to intrude so took this shot from the hips without flash and tried to be discrete about exposure :)

A wallflower!.....Or just someone who enjoy being by herself! I like the way you processed it!

@Japanalia: Thanks Gabriela :)
Powerful emotions with this one, Lorraine. Wonderful image! Good work, love the processing.

@Betty: Yes I felt it, thanks a lot Betty :)
Great image, like the grainy effect, adds alot to the image, to bad the purse was in the way.

@alex centrella: Thanks a lot Alex, you don't know this,not being a girl and all, but a purse can be a security blanket, for me it's my camera ;)
Great emotive shot L - she really looks engrossed in whatever it is she's reading or drinking (her bag is obscuring the view so I'm taking a guess:) ) The grain adds a nice feel to it. :)

@Mandy: coming from you lady of expressions, a big compliment,thanks a lot ;)
Wow! Félicitation! Cette photo est remplie d'atmosphère. Superbe traitement.
23 Jan 2008 7:41am
@Martine: Merci beaucoup Martine :)
This is so perfect. The image, the title -- they all fit with the mood being expressed. I remember when I lived in winterland, feeling that way from inside my nice warm home when a new frigid cold day was getting started and I just didn't want to move into it.
23 Jan 2008 7:43am
@Viewfinder: beautiful way of saying it, thanks a lot Vf :)
gorgeous! Great feeling here

23 Jan 2008 8:24am
@badala: I appreciate that, thanks a lot Badala :)
I like the extra grain, she looks contented in her reading.

@clarence: Thanks for your visit Clarence :)
Lorraine you have me confused. I felt this was my favorite shot http://outthedoorl.aminus3.com/image/2008-01-18.html but now you outdid yourself. This image is very artistic as it expresses emotion. Like a homeless person waiting out the cold. I sense anguish or despair. Love the soft focus and sephia tones. There are great lines in the shot. So for the moment this is now my favorite image of yours.

@Barbara: The cold can bring out....moods ;) The second I entered the place I spotted her and I felt for her. I took the photo from the hips through the glass door, without any idea of the outcome.... It is a struggle because I didn't want to intrude on her thoughts or pain of the moment, but I just had to.I softened things up a bit to maintain her privacy. THANKS a lot for your great comment :)
Great capture of feelings .......
I was the photographer
23 Jan 2008 10:33am
@MJ: Thanks a lot MJ
and thanks for answering my question of this morning :)
I really like the voyeuristic feel it has Lorraine
23 Jan 2008 11:19am
@[terrorkitten]: Phil, ooo that's a loaded word...still thanks a lot ;)
This shot has a cold, sad feeling to it. Nice work Lorraine!
23 Jan 2008 11:25am
@Stunner: Thanks Stunner, it does have feelings, I felt it across the room :)
Here in Canada, this ''Sometimes'' takes at least 6-7 freaking months ;) Anyway, I like this image so much. the mood of that woman plus the way you've processed , makes it looking old and somehow sad. Great job.
23 Jan 2008 11:33am
@Reza: lol no kidding, thanks alot Reza :)
Your reply to my comment makes the image even more remarkable. "shot from the hips through the glass door" Exceptional.
23 Jan 2008 12:09pm
@Barbara: lol I like that, thanks a lot Barbara :)
une superbe photo avec tellement d'émotions et la photo c'est l'émotion. toute cette tristesse ne peux laisser indifférent, on a envi de l'aider
23 Jan 2008 1:06pm
@Laurent: 100% d'accord, il y a une tristesse profonde et j'espère qu'elle me pardonne d'avoir capté son émotion sur film, merci beaucoup Laurent :)
I love the moody grainy feel to it and the simplicity ...really excellent Lorraine!
I've got a shot on my hard drive that I took recently that I'm having major trouble processing in the way I want....I've nicknamed it 'Eleanor Rigby' after the famous Beatles song as it has a lonely, lonely feel like this one. Maybe I'll give it a go in this style and see what happens...
23 Jan 2008 1:34pm
@Ian Bramham: Oh Ian, thanks a lot and please Post it, with your skills and intuition I can't wait to see it...
For a while she has been alone with her dreams and you have captured this fabulous solitude with everything in it. Post processing makes the photo vaster, vague and unattainable. Well done...
23 Jan 2008 2:27pm
@Forouz: Lovely comment, thanks a lot Forouz :)
Amazing and evocative candid, Lorraine!! This is really a Standing Ovation!
23 Jan 2008 3:50pm
@amy: Wow, how nice, thanks Amy :)

23 Jan 2008 4:00pm
@laughingwolf: We're hitting the minus 20 again, oh well!
I agree with Forouz - the processing makes this photo outstanding. A perfect capture of a burdened moment.
23 Jan 2008 5:44pm
@Janice Thomson: Thanks a lot Janice, you always see it ;)
Great all around effects and textures to evoke loneliness.
23 Jan 2008 7:01pm
@Ras: Nicely put Ras, thanks a lot :)
we're heading for the deep freeze again, at least til next week, when temps go near freezing again... NOT good for anyone's health :(
24 Jan 2008 8:28am
@laughingwolf: That's Canada, but no worries, Spring is on the way :)
Great experiment! keep it up!
24 Jan 2008 11:49am
@Craiger: Thanks a lot Craiger :)
WOW! Great artist's work you made here, a story on a photo! I almost feel sorry for her.
25 Jan 2008 7:43am
@Illuci: thanks a lot Erik, I hope she's ok!
