Yusuf is getting impatient Photo

Photographer’s Note

I had observed him for a while : first, he wanted to join his young neighbour, sitting on the balcony, with whom he was talking from the street ; then, he decided instead that he wanted to go up to his mom, and to get noticed by her, tried to ring the bell which was too high for him,

... so desperate to get her attention, he started kicking the door with great energy, so much so that he was progressively loosing his pant, lost his hat too (on the left corner of the door) and that the matrons of the neighbourhood, attracted by the noise, started to call him and told him to wait for a while and to pull back his trousers ; that's how I got to know his first name...

(In the end, the door opened and the child got what he wanted ; all's well that ends well)

Merhaba Catherine,
You are really good at these grab shots. This is a great capture of the decisive climbing moment. Hard to tell how a narrower or wider view would look, each having merits/demerits. It looks slightly oversharpened though. Regards,
Hakan

tres belle! ça fait sourir aussi!
merci!

oochappan (22032) 2007-10-20 3:38

As the photo tells the story on its own, it is a good one, here a local sharpening would avoid the distractive too sharpened texture on the wall aside, use the erase tool to original unsharpened layer !

Hi Cath,
Indeed a humorous shot, with your note complementing the action nicely. The lighting is very fine and the ancient door with the interesting elaborate iron grille work is fascinating. The boy's strenuous efforts are quite obvious. You caught this at the decisive moment. Superb.

Salut Cath
Une photo amusante où l'on a l'impression que le gamin est prêt à escalader la porte pour rejoindre sa maman. Le cadrage vertical ajoute encore plus de dynamisme à la photo. J'aime bien aussi la texture des murs.
A bientôt

Who can resist Yusuf!? Such a typical small boy attracting attention. You timed your shot perfectly. Interesting also to see the other features of the image, like the peeling bricks and the grilled door. Good work

Bonsoir Catherine,
Une jolie petite histoire bien mise en valeur par ta photo. La lumière est très douce et le contraste élevé fait parfaitement ressortir les textures du bas de la porte et du mur.
Amicalement,
Pierre
