Photographer’s Note

I remembered this picture was taken year ago when I was waiting for my parent came from Sumatra. That colourful pilars really got my attention that day, i like the moment when i captured this picture three beautiful stewardess walking through the coridor but I must say the quality is not too good and then I have an idea to change the focus, I dont know which one you prefer. (Original picture on WS)

Located : Soekarna-Hatta International Airport
Domestic Terminal I, 20km west of Jakarta

best regards

This is an excellent shot. The colourful columns make an impressive contrast to the monochrome red legs in the background. I have seen the columns many times but never like this. Well done. Congratulations.

Hi Daniel. Nice capture. The main post has a more arty feel, by cropping the faces of the women you have added a sense of mystery. Good colours and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hello Daniel
This is more artistic than the WS post, my friend. Like the ornated base of the pillars which frame their legs in red trousers well. You may think of cropping the left & right as well as I’ve done in the WS…hope you’ll like it
Regards
Angshu

Those colours are magnificent. I love the vibrant hues and the way you have composed this remarkable scene Daniel. Absolutely mesmerising

How clever that you cropped the top! I like the symmetry made by the coloumns and broken by the legs (the motion blur is also spectacular!). The various colours are also very nice!

Hi Daniel,

Very nice mix of beautiful architecture, colours, sensuality and motion! Indeed, it's a bit pity that the sharpness isn't better, but it is still a very attractive image. Anyway, in such conditions it is very difficult to do much better. I guess that you could have put the pillars better, but that would require a concentration that is hardly compatible with the rush to catch the girls.

The crop you used is very wise, the original looks just a cluttered snapshot. Maybe some radical adepts of the "politically correct" will find the image a bit sexist, but the fact is that the image is a lot more gracious and sensual like this.

While I find that Angshu isn't wrong when he says that the legs on the left are a bit disturbing and the compo is a bit unbalanced because of them, I think that cropping them makes the image less catchy, namely because it looses dynamism. Sometimes some unbalance can be good...

Regards, José.

Hello Daniel,

Colourful capture, showing some carefully done decorations!
This may look like ancient but since it is an airport I guess it is not...
Fine details and well framed, the blurry feet fits well for a busy airport!

Greetings,

Hi Daniel,
Very good idea for new framing. From slightly odd first version to truely original. Red uniforms stand out well agaist decorated pilars. I've once made a stop on this airport and I like how local culture is visible there.

Hello Daniel,

When I must make a choice than I prefer the last of the three pictures, the stuwardess completly, this give a very colourfully image.
Also your other pictures are very well.
An excellent contrasted picture, nice captured good composed together with a nice presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Quality is not so bad for me, Daniel, and I like as you these pillars and the nice scane that you have captured, the passing stewardee and the static pillars create a good armony in this image, compliments.
Best wishes
Ciao

Hi Daniel

This is a very ingenious POV! I love the colors and the contrast created between the red pants and the decorated pillars. Your frame is perfectly mastered and nicely tight.This one is my favorite between the three different views. That's easy to agree to come on board right now for 2009, with this!

Thanks
Regards
I wish you a merry Christmas

Hello Daniel,
i think that this shot is better that the others in the WS.I like the decoration of the two pillars, with the beautiful element of the stewardess to walking through the corridor,a great abstractive shot.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Hi Daniel,
You have a good eye for a photo and a quick finger to capture the moment. I like the heads but I see why you cropped it, another solution would be to darken the area outside the two pillars, see WS
