Red and Orange kids Photo

Photographer’s Note

While at the EUR, the "fascist" part of Rome, My eye was attracted by the sharp colors of those two skaters's sweaters...
I am posting this today as an echo to Nicolas' post. Go check his post

There comes another one. I think I know what it is that I like in this beautifull photo. It is the sense of relief that the kids playing in peace gives, despite the strong colors and the fact that they are facing opposite to each other! the feeling that it is real in reallife in an evryday sitiuation.... Very nice composition, pov.

Salut Eric,
Ca y est notre petite combinaison est en marche ;-)
Ils ont l'air cool ces petits skaters, avec leurs couleurs qui claquent dans le marbre on ne voit qu'eux! Et puis les baggy pants, les attitudes genou plie toute en souplesse etc...
c'est bien vu ce contraste entre la rigidite des colones de marbre blanc et ces petits skaters ;-)Nicolas

bonjour Eric, j aime beaucoup cette photo , la composition est bien cadree avec les deux enfants qui se tournent le dos,les couleurs tranchent bien sur le fond blanc des colonnes, amusant le choc des civilisations... bises

So playful, shows you are in touch with your "inner child", Eric, which is a must for us photographers ;-)
You couldn't have captured them better, more graphically. A very nice shot that is lacking in lots of elements and that's why it is so strong. The red and orange against the almost monochromatic setting does wonders here.
Great shot!
Hugs from Ottawa with arctic gales, freezing rain, and much snow! Ah!!!

Salut Eric,
Sympa ces images en tandem avec Nicolas, dommage que TE n'ait pas une fonction qui permette de les visualiser côte à côte. Ces couleurs qui claquent sur un fond plutôt neutre donnent un bon résultat graphique. Le seul truc qui aurait pu améliorer cette compo (IMHO) c'est que le gamin en rouge soit positionné un peu plus sur la gauche afin de ne pas couper la bande noire qui les sépare. Mais bon, j'imagine qu'ils n'allaient pas forcément là où tu aurais voulu.
Bizzz et bon week-end.
Bibi

Hi Eric

Very vibrant colors. They really pop against the marble background. I like the little motion blurr. Well done.

A strong graphic image Eric, kids can still have some innocent fun surrounded by these grand old monuments to countless "isms" through history, not yet perturbed by their lasting legacies as they will be once they grow up a bit more.

I'm still in Europe, Birmingham at present, I'm still getting used to the daily rain (might have been cold in Canada but at least it was dry!)

Hanging around Britain until April, trying to avoid the excesses of the summer heat wave in Australia by chasing winter around the world (I go home just in time for it in the southern hemisphere...)
