Photographer’s Note

OK, so it's not over 50 degrees (Sohrab!) but it's still pretty hot (32 degrees with 40 percent humidity). Or maybe I'm just wimpy...

I can't believe that folks are still wearing size XXXXXXL t-shirts and pants with saggy, teeny-tiny Yosemite Sam legs, but they're not going away. Is this true of other cities, or just Toronto? And what's next? Bring back the super-high-waisted pants of yesteryear!

I suppose that was a hip level shot, of course... and that's pretty good dynamics miss Pup, you had everything you wanted in this shot, even an excellent background.
You may know i'm not a "hey, look into my lens" proselyt also i might surprise you if I say it was mandatory here because the Tshirt takes too much importance in the frame and needed a strong feature to balance it. On the other hand how could you say "hey, look into my lens, at my *ss level"... still interesting framing enough to get the full green...

How's your thirst for a 350d progressing through the heat?

Yeah this is a nice one. I'm behind Luko on his wish for some eye contact though, a too-cool-to-smile glare would'a been wicked! Maybe you coulda kicked him in the shin or something? ;)

Well, yeah, you are breaking your barrier to getting close, nice to see that. But it is a bit too distant in rapport though not in distance. I think it needed something else, perhaps the object he was looking at (in horizontal format).

Oh Wow! This compo is a knockout, Pup-sensei. The way you spread the guy diagonally across the entire frame is nothing short of masterly. I suspect you're still experimenting with Pagodan colorings...and it seems to serve you well (look at your sky for example) Cool. Cheers, -F

Such a point of view! How did you do that? Now I know you're really a pup...

As always you would get the full TWO POINTS for originality if I wasn't prisonner of my principles - [except for Maciek] - ;o)))

Hi Miss Dil,

(Dil means "tong" and "lisan/language" at the same time in Turkish, ;) amazing isnt it? lol)

Great shot.. I love your POV here.. yes, its quite a disgusting XXXXXXXXXXXXXL shirt really,,lol.
i am not so sure about the "eye-contact" as others say.. i quite like it this way.. Nice background too.
also i really appreciate your overall composition.
Great stuff Lisan..
cheers.
