O! jestem pełen podziwu. To co mnie urzeka to nastroj, harmonia stonowanych barw, wspaniałe błekitne tło i pomarańczowe latarnie stawrzajace ciepły klimat i ta druga latarenka jakby z boku ale tak ważna w całej kompozycji - przesliczne ujęcie

Pozdrawiam, Leszek

Bellissima .
Due luci e due anime che brillano .
La notte al buio senza un conforto ....
Impossibile ..eco un titolo .
Impossibile non bruciare ..chiarore e presenza .

Simple but effective composition and I love the movie "Chariot Of Fire." Great control of lighting with good dof and nice details for an evening shot. Very well done, tfs.

sacimar (25957) 2011-09-22 9:21

Hello Eb,

this is an interesting composition, you had a good idea taken a close-up of these street lamps, the light is beautiful, it's an excellent example of minimalism, well done,

Best regards,

Sergio

baclama (15579) 2011-09-22 9:23

hi,
les lampadaires sont souvent tres photogeniques...ta photo fonctionne bien, mais je suis impressionnée par la netteté...le 1,8 fait la difference à mon avis!
bravo

macjake (39227) 2011-09-23 1:03

Hi Elzbieta
hmmmm...great clarity for a close up type of shot.
we can clearly see the condensation, and the drippling of water. love the color combinations too, with the royal blues and black iron.
great shot.
cheers

Witaj,

Cos tu pokręciłaś z województwami, teraz jest opolskie, a inne zdjecia z Wojanowa byly z dolnosląskiego :). W tym województwie czy innym, bardzo ładne lampy i to żółte światło na tle ciemnego nieba wspaniale sie prezentuje. Wykreowałam ta prostą kompozycja czarowny nastrój. Podoba mi się bardzo.

Pozdrawiam

Małgorzata

Bonjour Elzbieta,
le sujet est très simple mais tellement bien traité sur le plan du POV du cadrage mais aussi de l'exposition. La grande ouverture a permis de réduire la profondeur de champ, mais pas encore suffisamment.
Le résultat aurait été encore bien meilleur à mon goût.
Excellent week-end.
Daniel.

ciao Elzbieta,
la perfetta definizione è l'elemento di spicco di questa immagine in cui sei riuscita a cogliere anche la condensa all'interno del lampione.
saluti
maurizio

Bonjour, chère Eb,
Deux lanternes qui semblent suspendues dans le ciel.
La répétition est excellente.
Une très bonne image recelant une certaine poésie.
Très bonne journée.
Amitiés.
Philippe

tober (8748) 2011-09-24 11:19

Hello Elzbieta, it looks simple at the first glance but it is not always such easy to obtain such a photographic quality. The warming effect of lampposts against the blue hour looks beautiful. Congratulations, Tolga

Cricri (86431) 2011-09-24 23:50

Hi Elzbieta
Une réalisation parfaite tant dans le cadrage, l'exposition, le côté romantique, une très belle image
Beau dimanche

CLODO (24726) 2011-09-25 11:00

hello Elzbieta

I like the hues of your shot giving a good ambiance, but I am not fond of the lamps overlaping (you should have crouched or moved one step ahead)
Greetings
CLODO
