Marion from Nanaimo, BC, CanadaThis is superb in b/w, it somehow catches the mood of the lady looking at the painting more then it would if it had been in color. I love your street shots Lorraine. 10 Apr 2008 5:31am @Marion: I'm glad you do Marion, they are my favourite to take, you never know how it's going to come out ;) @Ilnoir: Tout à fait, le soleil peut remonter le moral, lol merci Nathanael :) Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaThat's an amazing painting and we can't really see how the lady is affected by it. Nevertheless you have captured an excellent distressed mood. Well done, Lorraine! 10 Apr 2008 5:52am @Michael Skorulski: I appreciate that Michael, very much, thanks :) @Daroru: Thanks very much Daroru :) @Putter: Thanks Putter :) Hans from Heiligeneich, Austriayes, this i a great scene...well composed and i am deep impressed by this pic, great eye 10 Apr 2008 10:23am @Hans: Lovely compliment thanks a lot Hans :) Betty from New Jersey, United StatesVery powerful photo, Lorraine! Wonderful composition, nicely done. 10 Apr 2008 11:07am @Betty: thanks always Betty ;) @MJ: Thanks very much MJ ;) alex centrella from Califronia, United Statesgreat bnw image, and like the contrast. 10 Apr 2008 1:52pm @alex centrella: Glad you enjoyed, thanks Alex :) @Ina: Thanks a lot Ina :) Janice Thomson from CanadaEverything about this photo captures the essence of distress - this is one of your best mon amie - one can feel that frozen moment as the lady's eye was caught by this picture. Excellent, simply excellent. 10 Apr 2008 2:07pm @Janice Thomson: I knew you would like it ma chère amie, thanks so much:) Guillermina from Buenos Aires, ArgentinaPerfect in black and white, as most above have said. Perhaps I'd try a little more contrast to add to the drama (but that's me)... Anyway, excellent timing, L.! 10 Apr 2008 2:08pm @Guillermina: Thanks very much G., Like you I wanted more of a contrast, unfortunately in doing so, it covered some details I didn't want ignored, so I chose content over composition...this time ;) @laughingwolf: Really? interesting...why? [terrorkitten] from Bath, United KingdomLike this very much Lorraine, very strong!...the people shots you have posted lately have been great. 10 Apr 2008 3:00pm @[terrorkitten]: glad you like them Phil, 'cause there's more to come ;) amy from Rocky Mountain House, CanadaReally a fantastic capture, Lorraine!! Perfectly done in the b/w. Wonderfully seen and brilliantly taken. 10 Apr 2008 3:34pm @amy: Thanks so much Amy, I appreciate your comment, always :) Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesLove that poster, Lorraine ... perfect in B&W ... perfect timing! 10 Apr 2008 4:11pm @Ron: Ron, it says so much, doesn't it? I'm sure you've had your hand in helping many, God Bless! :) Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africaooh, I really like this.......Great in B&W! 10 Apr 2008 6:19pm @Mandy Provan: I always enjoy your visits Mandy, thanks very much :) MaryB from Staffordshire, United KingdomWhat can I say... I have to agree with the above comments Lorraine, you captured the moment perfectly and b&w was a perfect choice for this thought provoking image. Brilliant! 10 Apr 2008 6:48pm @MaryB: Mmm terrific comment MaryB, thanks so much :) Craig from Vacaville, California, United StatesLoads of visual interest going on here! 10 Apr 2008 6:52pm @Craig: Thanks for noticing Craig ;) standley from brou-sur-chantereine, FranceLa beauté de cette image est dans sa force. Elle fait très bien ressortir le sentiment de malaise de cette femme! Bien vu Lorraine. 10 Apr 2008 8:21pm @standley: Bien exprimé, merci beaucoup Richard :) GJC from Kyoto, JapanVery well seen. The lone figure and the poster together make for a powerful image. 10 Apr 2008 9:08pm @GJC: I appreciate that GJC, thanks a lot :) Damon Schreiber from Toronto, CanadaReally powerful yet beautiful. Looks like a watercolour. 10 Apr 2008 9:22pm @Damon Schreiber: Damon??? wow it's been so long, I don't know why I haven't been visiting you, I'll soon remedy, thanks for the reminder ;) and thank you for your great comment! Andrew Gould from Sydney, AustraliaExcellent! There's a certain tension here between the woman and the image on the poster. Then there's the overall compostion and the interesting black and white. 10 Apr 2008 10:14pm @Andrew Gould: Thanks so much Andrew, I really appreciate your visit :) Anne from White Rock, CanadaGreat post Lorraine! But, in fact the whole picture looks quite distressing - somebody should clean those windows! I don't do mine too often, but good grief! Really well captured Lorraine! Great subject matter! :-) 10 Apr 2008 10:59pm @Anne: lol thanks a lot Anne, I'm grateful this time that they didn't get around to cleaning it, I like how it adds to the neglect ;) Michael Rawluk from Prince George, CanadaThat is superb. This is my favourite of your shots. I love it. Perfect processing and I love the look of reportage. 10 Apr 2008 11:25pm @Michael Rawluk: Gosh, thanks so much Michael, it's one of my favs too, very nice comment :) Gary from Cochise County, United StatesI'm just sitting here shaking my head. It's that good. 11 Apr 2008 2:02am @Gary: what a lovely thing to say, thanks Gary :) Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceUne image du quotidien que tu as su capter et à laquelle tu as donné, par sa compo et le N&B aussi, un impact très fort... la preuve ? elle nous touche cette photo !! 11 Apr 2008 6:11am @Evelyne Dubos: merci pour ce très beau commentaire Evelyne, c'est apprécié ;) @laughingwolf: Yes, there's a lot of that, thanks Wolf :) Ian Bramham from Manchester, United KingdomA deeply disturbing photo lorraine full of sadness. 11 Apr 2008 8:40pm @Ian Bramham: Isn't it though, thanks a lot Ian :) Barbara from Florida, United StatesImages can be powerful and you have expanded the power of the image. Wonderful composition, excellent B&W. There is something very artistic you captured here, I cannot explain, but others before me have expressed it well. 12 Apr 2008 3:08am @Barbara: lol thanks so much, I like the idea of a blue ribbon ;) Japanalia from Yokohama, JapanA very strong image......I think you hit your target with this show, it impressed us all! 13 Apr 2008 7:47am @Japanalia: That's a lovely compliment Gabriella, thank you :) Emilio Garcia from Pleasanton, United StatesFantastic composition and great photograph.
