No, no, no...
Piękna ilustracja sentencji (btw - czy to nie jest zawołanie operatorów kroniki filmowej ? ;)))) )
Spojrzenie nasze biegnie po szczęce zwycięzcy i zaraz potem widzimy dokładnie to, co on widział... I zaraz znów stajemy się tylko widzami, jak ten chłopiec w tłumie.
Wyżyny obróbki tutaj - nawet widać, że się facet przed decydującym etapem nie ogolił - na szczęście i żeby nie zapeszyć zapewne, bo wtedy jeśli mnie pamięć nie zawodzi, głównie z takich powodów panowie nie golili zarostu ;))
Świetne i mocne.
Prawie 100 wejść a ja dopiero trzecia ? Widzisz ? Ludziskom mowę z wrażenia odebrało ;))
Serdecznie ściskam T.

Pachnie Georgiem z kilometra. I dobrze, bo to smakowity wapor za każdym razem. Wszystko tu jest ciekawe - od kompozycji po notkę.
Pozdrawiam.

I've looked at this photo many times since you posted it. Here is my first reaction. My second was the same, the third too, ... and my last is also the same.
This photo is very special. It had (and still has) a big effect on me. But since the moment you posted it and now, I am wondering what I will be able to write about it. It has provoked a strong emotion inside of me, and I don't know exactly why and what this emotion is all about. The feeling of being inside somebody, in his secret and private world... Like if he could see, in a fraction of a second, in a blurriness of a cloudy vision, all the faces that he has known before... I look at this photo, and some sadness is part of my emotion...
The strangest thing is that I have absolutely no idea what this photo is all about, what was the context, who is this guy, who are these people he is facing... And your note does not help in giving us a hint about these questions. And that might explain why you got so few answers from TE. Don't forget which kind of photos receive so many points and praise even though the photographer had simply to click the shutter without much effort.
But I don't think you have to doubt here about the great value of this photo. Maybe it is a bit limit for TE "learning about the world", but what an overexposed sunset is teaching about the world?...

Pieknie dopiesczona praca.

Hi George,
Terrific image... with so many layers...
Evocative… touching the intangible
A feeling of solitude in the crowd…
Beautiful grain…
A favourite...

Hi George,

You painted this one and then scanned it or you really used a camera?
Whatever the case is, it is to me a small piece of art.
Wouldn't know what's more complicated; Photographing or painting this way. The result is anyhow captivating!

Enjoy your Sunday my friend,

Dennis

Stranger, stop and cast an eye
As you are now, so once was I
As I am now, so you will be
Remember Death and follow me.

Nice words to fill up an image which is already full with grains. I just want to add some humor to this "older than me" image. I feel deeply that this one is the brother photo of Henk's Say hello to Mr Bull. They are almost the same :))

Grainy memories!!
Like this special moment which sometimes we have and all the persons we met in our life, passing by in front of our eyes.
Very emotional photo George. A photo which leaves for sure something to the back part of the brain.
Best regards
Kostas
