[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is going to be my last upload of the Gay Pride that took place a week ago. More than a millilon people walked up and down the main streets of Madrid. Since three year ago samesex marriage and adoption is legal, and opposite of what the Catholic church claimed, the world has not fallen, all the way around, there is a sense of normality about this unions among people.
This year the parade was specially dedicated to the Lesbian, so that´s why I have chosen this photo to close the serie... Dreaming, maybe remembering, lost in her world in the middle of the joyfull human tide... She´s a woman, she´s a human been and what´s the point about to hide herself...
Take care, and till next year.

Miguel

Hi Miguel !
Beautiful portrait with an exceptional light. The back light is wonderful but yellow reflection is absolutely superb.
Greetings T.

Miguel...
This babe of yours is so good, that I have no option but to give you some reprimand for it...
If you happened to produce something of such photographic magnitude - you have to (and I mean: You have to !) - take all the efforts possible to present your work in the best way possible…

The way you approach the scene, your choice of lens, the perspective, DOV (you name it ) - it's just about as perfect as it can be… Bokeh's a dream…!
Presenting someone face like that is an extremely attractive way of doing people's photography.

But…

There is a 'but' in there…


That yellow strip at the bottom…????
D'you know how distracting it is in a pure perception of your photography ?
Why - you may ask ?
Because the other colors in there are just the smash !!! The very gentle and very beautiful array of flickering sun spots and the warm shades...
And, all of a sudden - bang..!
That ugly smudge of the accidental yellowish patch ?

Another head in there… (Is it a head ?) - left bottom edge of the photo…
What is it ?
A competition to the main character in there?
A competition to the best drawn human face I've seen recently on TE ? :-)))

It's a great photo, brother M.
Your photo - that is…
Respect your works…


Love and smile, good ol' buddy…

Hola Miguel.

En cierto modo es una foto atrevida. No por la temática, sino por la estética de la foto. Es un plano muy cercano e inclinado donde juegas muy bien con la profundidad.
Creo además que la expresión serena de su rostro ayuda mucho a la foto.

Carlos.
