Walking to Perpignan Photo

Photographer’s Note

Something a bit different today - as from me.
But I liked this setting of the girl and her dog apperently going in the direction of Perpignan.
To be seen in the little village of Collioure a silent day in January..

Hi Jack,

Fantastic B&W picture.

Hello Jack,

Tu as réalisé une image très originale ! Pas de voiture en vue, cette personne marche sur la route comme si elle était faite pour cela ! Le noir et blanc fait bien resortir la femme par rapport à sont chien !
Bien joué ! Joli coup d'oeil !

A+

Bonjour Jack
Une photo N&B bien faite, un bon équilibre entre les zones sombres et claires.
Les contrastes sont bien dosés.
La scène est superbe

You chose for a BW with these lady with dog, you play very well with light and shadows, also the signpost in backgroud is very clear and excellent sharpness, nice composition too!

Have a nice day,

Hello Jack

Good sepia tones warm the image somewhat, & enhance the superb b&w tonal range & contrast. Excellent sharpness & pov. Tfs!

Salut,

Très belle composition et traitement N&B. J'adore. L'exposition à f10 est bien chosi pour garder les enseignes lisibles.

Hi Jack. Yes, Perpignan seems where they are headed. A nice take with the young woman walking her dog. Good composition placing the two on the left side of the frame. Good choice to go b&w and strengthen the impact of the contrasting setting with the shadows.

salut jack
le choix du N&B était il judicieux ici je ne sait pas, le cadrage lui il est car la direction du personnage nous dirige dans la zone d'ombre, bien vu
amitiés

Great shot. Love your playing with sharp contrastes - it makes so unusual such an usual scene. Really great. greetings T.

Hello Jack,
Great capture, wonderfull compo and pow.
Black&White was a right choice.
This shot also reminded me to those wonderfull
b&w pictureS just after the WW II, of great french photographers like Henri Cartier Bresson etc.
Very well done, TFS

Hei Jack,
It's not much my thing but I have to admit that she nakes a perfect subject for a B&W conversion, these blacks are shining !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

The girl with the dog and on the end behind the directions signs, this is a very good composition. -:))
Half of them show the left direction, the other the oposite direction.
I think that the girl brougth the dog to the right direction!? -:)
Very good seen Jack.
Thanks very much.

Hei Jack,

Nice photo, I like your choise of B/W for this photo, I allso like the calm feel to this place. (Usually when I see photos from the streets of France I see hevily traficed streets of Paris...) So this is a welcome change. TFS.

This picture is full of secrets! The woman's face is invisible, and where she is going is also a secret (though you insist she's going to Perpignan) and what is that behind the woman casting the shadow in front of her... - These are the questions that the composition makes me ask myself... B&W enhances the mood of secrecy... The high contrast makes the pic look old. Though the weather is sunny it feels cold, due to contrast and the woman's clothes.
