Children Time Photo

Photographer’s Note

..the purest form ever seen:the children mind;
somewhere in Romania,in a small village,see this beauty from my car..seems that she have all the space in the world..just for her;)
probably,most of you asked"what she doing there??"
really don't know,quickly answer:have fun..

a good weekend!

because,after all these comments,this photo needs more informations:
1)this girl is healthy,happy,have parents,they live in that house in the background
2)my idea was to show you how could enjoy a child by everything

Hi Dr.Florentina.

Blessed are the souls of little kids..
Pure are their hearts..

Divine lights showering blessings, funniest moments in the kids life..well balanced and captured.
The atmosphere too turns beautifull with the kids presence.
Heartfelt presentation, for a fine composition.
Well done.

Szia Flory,
well captured and composed shot, with the great adding of the filtering sunrays. The light is well managed and this is one of those shots where is difficult to decide if it is funny or sad, at least for the environmental pollution.
Compliments for this strong and brave pic, my friend! Have a nice Sunday!
Attila

PixelTerror (86038) 2007-08-05 2:48

Ciao Flory,
A funny image indeed, I guess it could be a scene in a film from one of these eastern european young film makers, the sun rays capture in the background in another good detail. It seems you did not have enough speed which resulted in light motion blur.
Have a nice sunday JY

jleveque (896) 2007-08-05 2:59

Hello Florentinshka,
that one makes me smile, it looks like some scene from a Kusturica movie...people who are able to make happiness from nothing, even living in chaotic conditions.
Merci pour cette belle image, à bientôt :)
Te pup,
Jérôme

Draga mea
Intai vreau sa ii raspund lui Dan,de fapt sa il intreb daca el la el la bunici sau la rude la tara avea acel confort de care vb Dora ...Si in al doilea rand,Dan,Criticile trebuie sa se refere la fotografie,tehnica,partea artistica etc
Poti comenta atat cat vrei despre orice altceva folosind optiunea COMMENT,ok?
Cat despre fotografie,draga mea Flori,neincercand sa fiu prietenoasa sau sa ofer puncte din prietenie,pur si simplu e o omagine superba,inocenta si lumina divina ....
Revin curand

daddo (11310) 2007-08-05 18:55

Hi Florentina. Looks like an improvised swimming pool where one can cool down in summer.Interesting contrasts between a child's innocent game and limitless imagination and the fences and desolation created by adults. Rich in tone and mood. Well done Florentina. Regards. Klaudio.

sadeik (3159) 2007-08-06 0:18

A ray of sunshine and a rather odd scene. I supose thats the swimming pool but it could be an on suite bathroom with a view. Its an extremely pleasent photograph and was well seen and I bet the family would have been happy with a photo like this of their child

danos (32250) 2007-08-06 0:50

Hello florentina,
nice the children glance from the bath.The surrounding shows a poor country side,but the little girl appears to enjoy it.I like the colours and the light.Well done.

Regards,Danos

ninaL (19452) 2007-08-06 11:57

Excellent scene...but there is some problem with quality...
And I think it could be better in B&W...
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi Florentina
very interesting & pleasant pic with this child bathing in such a tub :) also like the heavenly lighting from the skies...in actual fact this seems quite a surreal shot to me, very artistic.
Regards

AiresSantos (41920) 2007-08-07 3:11

Hi Florentina Pop,
Great details in this lovely composition.
Excellent effect of the sunrays in backgroung and colours.
Thanks for sharing and kisses
Aires

riclopes (32969) 2007-08-07 4:24

Olá Flory, this is really good. It immediately reminded me this photo of George:
http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Poland/photo662609.htm
Beautiful lighting coming from the sky, funny placement of the bath tub, but the girl is even a more surprising presence. Yes, I bet that this must be a fantastic playground for her - for sure, it's like disneyland for her. Their imagination is much more powerful than the one of adults. Great shot.
Many roooorrrroooonnnnnns from my cats to your cat,
ricardo

Manamo (3472) 2007-08-07 11:28

Hello Florentina,
it made me think about Polonaise's picture too. Yours has that extra special feeling in it. The child has a special look in her eyes that make us want to know her. The view is quite dramatic too with the fence, the old dirty bath and the house far away. Finally, the rays in the sky are kind of blessing because it would be a rather dark picture and because it adds a poetic touch to the scene(like in a movie):hey kid, don't worry, the sun is gonna shine for you one day!
Have a nice day,
Marc

Bluejeans (32053) 2007-08-08 0:40

Ola Florentina fantastica esta tua foto , e uma bela compoisção com este rapaz dentro desta banheira abandonada , gostei muito do ceu com os raios de luz , parabens!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

elmec (12194) 2007-08-08 3:58

Hello Florentina!

Very unusual composition here. Nice compo and lighting. Well done.

Hello Flory,
Kind of funny, did she really find some water in there to chill down in the summer heat..!
Moment is well captured, presented in an attractive composition with interesting diagonal lines!
Greetings,

siolaw (25722) 2007-08-09 21:19

Hi Florentina,
Excellent and unusual capture of the kid passing some time in this abandonned bath tub! A strange amtosphere comes from the scene.... good colors and sharpness...
Interesting
Laurent

p_m_geraldes (774) 2007-08-10 3:01

Hello, Florentina

This is a very nice capture of that kid having fun is a very simple manner. I Love to see the rays of light on the top left of the image.

I would like to see this photo with more details, more sharpness. It looks like you applied to much compression on it.

Regards

kevinos (6927) 2007-08-11 8:30

Wow! And I thought my bathroom needed a makeover! What a fresh and zany way to frame a portrait Florentina. The angles made by the bath tub and the fields and strong and the setting add a really amusing twist to the kids portrait. regards Kevin

Cretense (55812) 2007-08-13 13:17

Hi Florentina!

This is an unusual amazing image, a great, very original portrait with great composition and very impressive background. Congratulations!

Salut Flory !

Tu as le chic pour trouver des situations insolites et amusantes !

You sure have some talent to find unusual and funny situations!!!!
Maybe they can do something fun with that thing near stormy lake as shown on your previous shot .... !
Nice an cute young girl , maybe a future doctor , who knows...

Atata timp cat cel sau cea mica e fericita ca se poate bucura de aproape orice si noi suntem fericiti ca ai surprins momentul jocului.Bea

Emile (19901) 2007-08-14 21:44

Hola Flory.
Very well composed shot, the presence of the child in the bathtub looks very nice, simple shot captured with a good POV through your car window without any blur at all. The sun rays in the back where very well captured. Well done.
Cheers.

Bonjour Florentina
une image amusante et un excellent cadrage. J'aime bien la diagonale de la baignoire et de la clôture. Jolies couleurs également. Bravo.
Xavier

papagolf21 (56233) 2007-08-19 2:42

Bonjour, mon amie Flory,
Je m'arrête sur cette image qui possède un intérêt manifeste. Une photo presque surréaliste ! Vous avez bien fait, chère Flory, de nous présenter cette image très touchante. Tous les enfants du monde trouvent toujours un moyen de s'inventer des jeux simples pour un petit moment de bonheur.
Amitiés.
Philippe

AmiBe (6042) 2007-08-20 11:13

Hi Florentina,
strange atmosphere, it's like the end of the world.
Very unusual scene, I like the ray of lights and that the kid isn't looking at you.

Bonjour Florentina
kids will be kids....ils s'amuseront de n'importe quoi, leur imagination est très fertile et c'est toujours un plaisir que de les regarder trouver de nouvelles utilisation de tout et de n'importe quoi.
J'aime voir les rayons de soleil à l'arrière plan.

Une belle réalisation
Charles

euryan (8345) 2007-08-25 20:13

This is an excellent photo Florentina. It’s super cute and funny too. I can't help but smile. The composition is excellent and I love those rays of light shining down from heaven in the background. Nicely captured moment.
Regards,
Ryan

pboehringer (770) 2007-08-26 15:10

Florentina,
this is an excellent composition with a perfect timing to get this girl in there and living in her fantasy as well as the sun rays in the background enhancing the landscape surrounding this moment.
Regards, Peter

greg (2835) 2007-09-14 5:39

Hi Flory! That's an unusual one - fun. The discarded bathtub out of its normal setting... the kid feels the same, and imagines it back into it's proper use. Would have been even better with a sharper focus on her face.

pcp (3346) 2007-10-25 4:18

I like this picture very much :D Very humorous and light is wonderful.

Hi Florentina,
This photo really amazes me for the surreal. The perfect scene for a Kusturica movie… with even the sun light radiating in the background :-))) Really incredible. Congratulations!
Andre
PS1: The photo reminds me another also surreal from Polonaise titled “I'll meet you in Disneyland” :))
PS2: Thanks for your critique. I have been very busy lately and I could not participate much in TE.

rbcy1974 (20742) 2008-01-16 3:37

Hello Flory
This is just amazing. I agree with previous commentor regarding its likeness to a Kusturica film.

Very surrealistic, the tub seems so out of place here. But it is amazing what a kid without video games can find to play with some imagination.

Regards

Daniel

Benedict (7062) 2008-01-17 14:27

hi flory,
this definitely reminds me of the younger days while me and my sibblings were playing "hide and seek". i wish those days would come back!
colorful and pleasant capture. well manged lighting. TFS.

manub (920) 2008-02-01 19:46

This is such an excellent shot! in a quite strange landscape, a child seemingly coming from nowhere, the rays of the sun...
wow, real strange mood in this shot! i remeber a pîcture of Polonaise with two children in a bath, but the atmosphere here is very different.
have a nice day

yanseiler (20) 2008-04-08 16:27

A very nice one, not that sharp but well the scene is great...

Sunt satul de sfatosi ca Danut
mai ales cand pe langa sfat trage si o dracuiala
asa de postul Craciunului
asta in cazul in care te referi la Draghici
a ignora acest gen de oameni cred ca este cel mai bun lucru pe care il poti face
daca as reactiona altfel nu as mai fi un bun crestin
Numai bine!
