Afternoon Chat Photo

Photographer’s Note

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon in Montmartre, four people who seem to know each other well enjoy some conversation. Only the dog seems to take note of a photographer in the area.

Hello Ken

Quiet afternoon on a Sunday on the streets of Paris.The womens face indeed terrified by who knows what the other ladies they must told her.
I hope the dog,he or she was barking at you,if not there`s no dog,maybe a puppy.
Nice scene.

Kind regards,
Lucian

Hello Ken

Nicely captured b;ack and white moode like most of the mundane things in life :) and there is a quirky beauty in the mundaneness of them. I relly like the black and white rendition here

Thanks for sharing

Hello Ken,

B&W is the only way to present this shot, without the distraction of colors. The expression on one woman's face, the presence of the fluffy poodle, the very street scene itself is pure French. I like the composition here very much.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Classically urbanistic...

Urbanistically classical...

As Parisian as Paris itself...

That dog in there...
" Come a step closer and you are teared to pieces, stranger " grrrrrr

:-)))

Bravo, bravissimo! I love SO much the astonished expression of the lady ("But what are you telling me!!!). The face of the dog ( "oh...I am tired to be here...I have to walk! ). And the impassive face of the man with the cap ( "But what a interesting story...I have to hear about...but I have to seem uninterested...")
A great pic, Ken!

Hi Ken,

I guess what the other lady is telling must be pretty nasty :) she looks more shocked tham terrified to me. Nice cene caught on the spot!

Regards,

Flavia

Hi Ken, the dog must be bored at their chatting and gratefully turned towards you, I can see him smile ! Very nice Parisian scene, what makes it funny too, in addition to fluffy and lady, is the other man, sitting at the end, with a very serious expression, but hearing everything :-). One suggestion would be to use a wider aperture to obtain a bit of a more blurry background, especially because of the cars.

Kind-

Oh, this is quite funny, you have captured the passion in the conversation very well - the loo rolls and other details are fun to observe, the little dog who seems to smile at you and the dreamer at the end of the group who seems not interested at all, this is a relaxed and lovely shot !
Best regards,
Cath.
