Girl in Red Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I took this photo whilst visiting Paris with my friends Stef (Steft on TE) and Lars (Tue on TE) last weekend. This picture was taken near the Louvre museum. I quite like the contrast between the grey tones of the lake and the reds and pinks in the girls clothing and in the boat.

Hej Martijn,
Zoals je al schrijft in je note, is het contrast tussen het water en het meisje & boot erg goed. De compositie is ook mooi, erg sterk dat je de over- of zijkant van de vijver niet ziet. Ik zal binnenkort de bootverhuurder ook posten. :-)
Groeten,
Lars

Hallo Martijn,
Dat rode jasje zo aan de rand van het water deed mij meteen denken aan "Don't look now".
Gelukkig is het meisje hier niet in het water.
Mooie sfeervolle foto.
groet Rob

Hello marrijn,
very nice your shot with vivid colours and light.I like the combination of the colours of the little girl and the sail of the boat on the water.Well done my friend.

Regards,Danos

This one speaks to me, probably because I am famliliar of bassin des Tuileries, and also because the scene is reminiscent of many French photographers who took pictures of children's plays in Paris (but mainly in B&W). There is a very nice contrast here between the red of the raincoat and of the main sail, and the grey of the pond. I also like the texture of the water.

All the best,

Emmanuel
