Lady in Red Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This view and girl could be seen in Ystad (Why-town) which is situated in the most south part of Sweden. We're in the central parts at the pedestrian's street.

If you fancy old cities and are in Sweden I recommend Ystad, which is an easy going place with many old scenes.

Cropped and warmified in Picasa2.

Thanks,
Magnus

:D

Very nice view; beautiful old houses (and young woman) and nicely composed. It's only a pity that the cars spoil the image here, but that's nothing that you can change. Nevertheless a very nice picture.

It's a very nice photo, Magnuw, with this beautiful street and the girl in red. I also like the yellow half-timbered house. However, the cars are really distracting. So I would like to offer a different crop, see my WS.

Apart from your picture the girl is beautiful !! Her red clothes make excellent colour contrast with the yellow walls. The colours are excellent and the perspective great! Very nice work Magnus!

Hej Magnus,
Jeg kender byen Ystad ret godt, både fordi jeg har været der engang og jeg har læst alle de bøger i Wallanderserien!
Fedt billede med de gamle og rigtig svenske huse og pigen foran dem! Farverne er meget gode! Et godt stykke arbejde! :-d
God weekend, hilsner,
Lars

Hi Magnus, change the title in 'Lady in red' and you can add it to a theme, photos with a songtitle, or something like that.
Nice colors and I think it's funny that she's looking at you like that. She does not really disapprove, or approve, but she seems a bit inquisitive, ' whate are you doing that for?'
Seems like a nice place!

Hi Magnus,
Can you give is the name of this street, so I can find out which murder is commited in this street?
I once was in Ystad to find out if the description in the Wallander books are correct and they are, but I didn't see this lady in red.
groet Rob

Hi Magnus. Wow this shot has it all. Great depth, saturation, sharpness, etc. I like the pose of the girl and the way her red outfit contrast with the rest of the shot. Good exposure control too. Excellent shot Magnus!

Pts tomorrow

Hej Magnus, Ystad är en vacker stad, det kan man utgå ifrån när man ser den här mysiga gränden. Vackra byggnader och färger och fin komposition. Bra gjort!

Hälsningar, Christian

Bonjour Magnus!
C'est dommage que ces affreuses voitures nous cachent partiellement la belle et vieille maison à gauche sous ce beau soleil.
Mais, en contre partie, nous pouvons admirer la jolie fille en rouge qui complète bien cette vue.
Il semble qu'il fasse froid car elle tient des gants dans sa main droite et son pouce dans sa main gauche!

jemaflor (38911) 2005-05-07 6:18

Nice shot, good perspective, beautiful houses and well seen the contrast between colors.

Hi Magnus, Nice daily life capture this is. The temperature still seems to be kind of low. I like the way the girl takes centre stage against the traditional yellos facade. She looks curiously at you. Nice capture.
Regards, Bert

Hej Magnus,
Nice view wthe good light and perspective showing us the beauties of Sweden, and I do not mean only the old houses ;-))
Just pity there are cars, but the colors are superb, the ocres on the house are surprisingly warm and the red coat of this girl is eclatantly bright, well done !
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves

cessy (13647) 2005-05-07 10:31

if we go to this place, she will always be there ? :)
very nice moment, the houses are very interesting
excellent shot, Magnus

MoosicMan (1231) 2005-05-07 11:10

Hi, Magnus,
Something tells me you know this girl better than you're letting on. Is that your other camera she is holding? Nice composition and colors. Did you adjust for perspective distortion? The walls are all perfectly vertical. Good shot.
Best wishes,
Matt

weswang (18223) 2005-05-07 11:28

Hi Magnus,
A well composed picture in capturing this small and beautiful place. Each house has a strong character. I guess that the second house on the left is a pub, from its logo hang on there.
A nice catch of the beautiful lady. It looks that she is curious of what you are doing. I do not mind the cars line up there. I can interpolate that those cars were stopped and kept distance to let the lady pass.
Nice DOF with clarity, sharpness and nice contrast. A good weather in your neck of woods also.
Wes

Hello Magnus,

I didn't had the idea to take this kind of picture because of the car, but it's looks ok, the lady looks nice.
cheers
greg

Jeppe (18623) 2005-05-07 17:14

Oh - I like the eye's she gave you as well ;-) The presense of her compensate for the cars - A fine street and house - too bad I never at this sight on my visits to Sweden.

Thanks Magnus.

kent_s (1911) 2005-05-07 18:01

Vilken typisk gammal Ystadsgata med gamla vackra korsvirkeshus, vilket det ena verkar vara cirka 1600-tal. Med varma gula färger och rödbruna färger.

Juste tjej oxå.

Snyggt skjutet Magnus

MarekP (4744) 2005-05-07 20:06

Hello Magnus. Nice shot with perfect composition, excellent DOF and perspective, and very pleasant colours. Well chosen model too ;-) The photo would be probably better without those cars, even though they make it more real-life. The only real drawback is that traffic sign growing right from the girl's head.

BTW, Picasa 2 is a handy tool, isn't it?

Thanks,

Marek

danyy (68088) 2005-05-09 14:18

Bonsoir Magnus,
De superbes couleurs et une netteté étonnante, une rue bien propre où tout semble impeccablement entretenu.
Compliments.

jkneze (506) 2005-05-16 18:04

Nice street shot, nice lady, you even got a glance -lucky you :). Like the Dof and the compo

perryhooter (2424) 2006-01-23 22:12

Hello Magnus !

The mysterious lady in red is really popping out of your photo! Coincidence or not ( Lol!) , her colors complements well the picture. I am attempting a small WS.

Cheers!
Robert
