[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Paris not only inspires romance, it also inspires creativity. People from all over the world come to Paris to absorb the atmosphere and to have a try at being an artist.

I saw this couple on a little island in the Seine while I was traveling the river by boat. I can't tell you if the painting turned out well, but they sure look like they know what they're doing.

I'd appreciate any tips or advice on my technique.

For you not even one advice ,because the pic is great:) As quality and as subject
Also the framing is good

How was your meeting with the great JY?:)

A beautiful composition with good sharpness and good light..

Hi Linda,
the background is blurred enough to brings out well the 2 main characters of the compo. Quality is very good throughout, with good sharpness, excellent colours, beautiful compo and frame. This is a very good job! Well done!
Regards,

Igor

I do not think you need any technical comment on this photo. IMO it is perfect with excellent sharpness, beautiful colours and a great composition. The tree in the upper section gives a very nice natural framing and the blurred wall in the BG only makes the people to stand out very well.

Hi Linda,
I like the way they are both framed by the trees making for a great composition. They seem so content with what they are doing and have found themselves a nice spot to do their art. Well seen and captured, and good use of depth of field to focus our attention on the artists.

Wanda

Hello Linda

You've got an excellent eye to catch this daily life scene ! It's a great shot, perfectly done.
The way you've framed, with the branch in the corner, is very tidy. And the fact that you've blurred the background is really well done to bring out the two painters.
The fine sharpness reveals many details, colors are soft and natural, and the light is well managed.
In conclusion, the white and wide frame is the good final touch !
Very good one.

Regards,
Karine

Hello Linda,
a very clear and sharp photo of people photography. Pestel colour to depict the calm and peaceful environment. Well composed with the subjects well positioned.

regards,
Foozi

Hi Linda,
Hope a day of rest helped your legs recover. Nice image, shows them both in full concentration and it seems they came from faraway to paint those scenes. Funnily I did not remember the Seine flows through Toggenburg, but I can easily understand once we've posted a few images they'll have to build an airport in Unterwasser to accomodate all these Japan Air Lines jumbos ;-)
Have a nice day JY

Hi Linda,
I just discover your gallery and like it a lot !
Here is a idyllic view of Paris. A couple painting each one his bank is a good solution for a painted panorama !!! ;) The soft colors are working very well for this peaceful scene, as the little part of the tree does. The whole in a nice frame...
I'll keep an eye over here ;)
Have a nice day !

Hi Linda
Very ggod selective DOF setting on the characters.
I appreciate the expression of the man.
Very nice luminosity soft ambiance.
Cheers.

Excellent daily life scene. It's even more impressive that you took this from a boat. The framing is perfect with the willow tree hanging over them and the fairly small DOF does a good job to eliminate any possible background distractions. Well done

Linda,
This is absolutely lovely, the city so inspiring for many artists, including myself, one day I like to do that when I have plenty of time. Stay there for a month or two and just paint. You just took a picture of my dream. Great moment, great composition using the weeping willow tree to frame the image. Thank you so much for presenting and reminding me that I need to paint more often. This photo is great, good sharpness, perfect clarity, beautiful and natural color, it depict a moment in the daily life in Paris and of these two artists and many painters' dream. Love it.
Way

hello Linda,
These people are enjoying life and well captured by yourself.
great compo, sharpness and colour. A treat!
Take care, Joni
