Aung San Suu Kyi don't forget her Photo

Photographer’s Note

The General Secretary of United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, is disappointed to return empty-handed of Myanmar. He criticized on Saturday the Burmese military junta which refused to him to meet the opponent Aung San Suu Kyi, at present judged to have broken the rules of her house arrest.

In a speech in Rangoon, Ban Ki-moon announced its " profound disappointment " at the conclusion of its visit of 48 hours in the country. He also deeply blamed the Burmese authorities for their contempt of the rights of the person and for their refusal for freeing the political prisoners.

Salut Didier,

Superbe photo !
Tout semble bouger, sauf elle...la métaphore est bien réelle.
Je suppose que c'est dans le petits marchés de centre ville ?

As always...

In the picture my favourite is the guy in background with the sleeveless shirt, the kind we call a "marcelleke" in Flanders;-)

With hope and anger.

Salut Didier
Le regard de cette femme en dit long! je pense souvent à ce pays, aux Birmans qui vivent(pour beaucoup) dans la misère totale et sous un régime que l'on connait malheureusement que trop bien... je ne suis pas trop étonnée que BK-M soit, hélas, revenu les mains vides.
Amitiés

Salut Didier,
A portrait "plein d'émotion" (comme est-ce-qu'on dit "compelling" en Français?), bien composé, et surtout très approprié pour illustrer la note. Dans autres circonstances, peut-être je n'aimerais pas beaucoup le tissu rouge, mais ici il est comme une espèce de métaphore d'un cri de révolte.
Amicalement,
José

Hello Didier,
The motion blur of the image really bring out focus to her face, she has that hopeful looks and the sparkle in the eyes. the color of hte fabric is nice and bright. Such beautiful people with such a hardlife yet they remain cheerful and happy trying to do the best. I would love to see some changes for the Burmese people in my life time. thanks

Hello Didier,

Une photo d'actualité et qui nous remémore ces événements. Le regard de la femme est très bien placé et très net. La partie orange de l'avant plan me dérange quelque peu car elle empêche de se concentrer sur le visage.

Bonjour Didier,
L'image est superbe. Le regard est désespéré et sans illusion, prêt au sacrifice pour tenter de mettre un terme aux méfaits des oppresseurs. Superbe image. Félicitations.
Bonne journée

Hello Didier,

The face is very specially, also the eyes make the picture lovely.
Good presentation too. TFS.

Warmest regards,
John.

hello Didier,
the composition is very strong, as others have noted, the motion blurr and bright colours work very well to frame the woman's face and focus our attention on it. that goes well with your note - focus on the person in the crowd. great shot, my compliments.

best,
Kristine

rigoletto (26190) 2009-07-08 3:35

Hi Didier,
I like the idea how her face comes sharp out of the colorful surrounding. The gathering of orange, purple, green, white and grey are so beautiful. But somehow, i feel a bit distracted by the dominance of blur. Motion blur and bokeh have almost conquered the frame, and the orange cloth, as being the definite center of attraction colorwise and areawise, steals the role from the portrait, even though you made the focus on the face.
Cheers,
Deniz

Very good portrait! The expression of the woman lies between hope and fear.

Some years ago I was in Myanmar and I was depply impressed by the people in this country. How they cope with the poor conditions they have to live in.

So let's all hope for a better future for them!

Hello Didier
Merci de nous rappeler sur TE la détermination inflexible et non violente de cette femme qui vient de fêter en prison son 64ème anniversaire et qui y a passé 13 des 19 dernières année.
A signaler aux membres de TE la campagne "64 mots pour Aung San Suu Kyi" lancée le 27 mai par une coalition de plusieurs organisations dont Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International ou encore Burma Info Japan et Info Birmanie en France.
La campagne n'est pas close et vous pouvez encore écrire des messages ou envoyer des vidéos et des photos sur le site web spécialement dédié à l'opposante : http://64forsuu.org.
Bien amicalement à toi et à tous ceux qui soutiennent cette femme admirable.
Pierre.

Hello Didier, When I first looked at this I thought the the orange was a distraction but no, this combined with the expression make a very emotional and powerful portrait. Well composed and very appropriate to illustrate your emotional note.
Thank you
Regards
Santo

Bonsoir Didier,
When I was looking to see if you had posted sunny day photos of the horse show, I came across this very moving portrait. The depth of feeling and honestly in her eyes is painful.
SAJ to this incredible woman,
