Total Control Photo

Photographer’s Note

This man seems to have everything under contol; a book, some drinks, his phone. A perfect day by the sea!

A day like this will apparently be a memory to savour until next year...

Today is quite a different day, at least in Gothenburg. Cold, rainy and very windy.

Hello Gunner,
Your note, maybe you made right comments. Maybe a self portrait??.
Not too much sun this year again.
Good colours and details in your photo, I am looking at the detail and smooth rock that you photo is showing..
A good moment to catch.
With regards,
Robert

Hallo Gunnar!
That's what I call "recreation"! There's all one needs to have good time. Well, I would prefer a thermos jug with coffee ;-))
A photo to look at in December or January ... it made me smile. A great idea to show this here!
Greetings from windy and rainy Siegen - and have a nice weekend! This time also once again greetings to Maily!

Hej,
The picture and your note speak for themselves, not much for me to add. About one third of water, some red and blue, a diagonally positioned person. Certainly a day to remember.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Bonjour Gunnar
Une belle image d'été. Cet homme se croit tranquille sur son bout de rocher, il ne se rend pas compte qu'il est traqué par le photographe.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Gunnar
Bien vu et amusant.
L'angle de prise n'est pas commun mais la lumière, les couleurs, la netteté, le cadrage sont top.
L'image fourmille de détails très interessants, notamment en ce qui concerne tous les accessoires autour de ce personnage qui visiblement à veillé à tout pour son bien être et son confort.
On l'envie vraiment.
Cordialement.

Hello Gunnar. Here you show again a successful snapshot. Book, beer, walkman, sun, - the man has everything for his momentary luck. You observed and realized this scene very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hej Gunnar
Agree he has eveything he could need right now, also nice to see the use of the shoes to lift the head for better reading
Have a nice evening JY

Hej Gunnar,

Wonderful photo of this sympathetic and relaxed gentleman. He has really made it confortable for himself. You have chosen an excellent and very original POV and your positioning of him diagonally across the picture is great. Excellent sharpness and colours. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Good evening Gunnar,
I appreciate the humor of the photograph, and the interpretation which you make of his scattered accessories. I hope that its reading will not make him forget the arrival of the rising tide. Very beautiful colors, excellent composition and realization. Cheer.
Have a nice evening.
Cordially.

Hej Gunnar,
oh how many photos I've missed while being away from TE!
and how I envy this man: I wish I could escape from my jobs and go to the sea and stay away like this, enjoying the air, the wind, the sun... and all the little handy creature comforts :)
Very good daily life capture!
varma hälsningar,
Elena

dareco (17104) 2009-09-09 7:18
