Photographer’s Note
"... If you're wise, exercise all the fat off,
Take it off, off-a here, off-a there;
When you're seen anywhere with your hat off,
Have a marcel wave in your hair;
Take care of all those charms
And you'll always be in someone's arms,
Keep young and beautiful
If you want to be loved."
("Keep Young And Beautiful", Dubin/Warren)

hummmm i see a certain ironic touch in the note...
the image is excellent, the soft light bathing mostly her hair in a sober b&w compo.
the jogger running the risk of being hit but who cares? - the note explains everything ;)
"ah, amor, a quanto me obrigas!" (ah, love, how much you demand from me! is the first line of a poem by great portuguese poet called Fernando Pessoa. it fits perfectly the image too.

Hi Robert,
it looks like a candid shot. However the light on hair of woman is very nice. BW and graphical lines in composition are great.
best regards,

Hi Robert. Maybe I need to buy some running shoes ;-). Excellent photo. Well composed with strong diagonals and good placement of the runner. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

I don't think she has any fat to exercise off, nor would she be seen dead with a Marcell Wave in her hair. ;D
Well composed with plenty of diagonals and with plenty of space in front to her to run into. There's some nice backlighting.

Hi Robi,
fine simplicity by the jogging woman in black&white. I like the high POV including the empty space of the street and the good textures.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

I like the strong diagonals here Robi, and the woman is ideally placed in the frame.
I'd prefer it without the hedge at the bottom, as it slightly disturbs the clean graphic nature of the rest of the image, but you couldn't really have avoided it.
Overall very well-taken - a strong, simple and graphic image. I like it.
Cheers,
Ben
