Photographer’s Note

... I've been thinkin' maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast and maybe
All my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars,
I see someone else
When I look at the stars,
I feel like myself

Stars looking at our planet,
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe startin' to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane

I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond our own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home ...

(Switchfoot - "Star")

I like this one Rob - you managed to catch interesting expressions on both faces, and the way you put the shot together works well.
Good neutral background, and I like the way the orange warning panel on the back of the truck relieves the emptiness of that part of the frame, providing good balance with your two 'stars'.
This is the kind of shot where a tele lens really shines - it's much harder to get that kind of simplicity and isolation with a shorter focal length.
Good stuff.

Cheers,
Ben

I like the choice of lyrics for the photo, it leaves many questions - which to my mind makes for a good posting :)

BTW - cracking good shot!

hello Robert,

Very nice portrait of the 2 persons. The highlight works very well here. Also good colours.
greetings, inn

This is a very cool shot Robi, and for a particular reason (for me at least) the way... the colors o his woolen hat are precisely replicated on that sign in the lower right...
Good one!
Francis
ps. I sold all my Pentax stuff - couldn't take the cr@ppy Af anymore. I'm slowly heading back to EOS, dunno excatly which one yet, probably the promising 40D.

Yeaah man! That's f****g cool!
This blue is magic, almost like the sky...yeahhh...
DOF is well managed and so as the composition with the green/red bonnet echoing with the rectangular sing in the background....oh and I see that all these colors also jumped onto the girl sweater...wowowow....you got the eye man!
well done ;-)
Pris.
