Bonsoir Grazyna
j'ai vu cet artiste; j'ai fait des photos, mais j'en n'ai rien tiré de bon !
Bon cadrage; une belle symétrie du geste et un reflet parfaitement reussi.
Bon week end prolongé.
Pierre.

Bonsoir Grazyna

Tu ne joues plus au foot!! Mais ily a encore une bulle ronde qui renverse l'image du porteur. Par contre, je ne suis pas fan de la femme floue à droite qui semble rajoutée.
Bon WE

Greetings Grazyna,

Fabulous.

Great use of a high grain, B&W finish to add some grittiness to your composition. Perfect framing - and framing within framing (and wondeful use of the bubble-as-a-lens effect). The shot is hugely improved by the presence of the second person looking over the performers shoulder.

Thanks and regards, Iain

Where is the trick in this photo?

- In the crystal ball?
- In the hands of the artist?
- In the look of the illusionist?
- In the woman without face?

.......... The trick this one in the magic of our imagination and our fantasy when we see this big photographic work.

Congratulations Grazyna ... for this excellent picture.

Pozdrowienia ........

Great shot, I like the graininess of the man's face and body, while the crystal ball and hands are the sharp focus. Works very well in b&w.

Hello ninaL,
I like that one very much! The contrast is great. I love the grain and most of all this crystal ball like if he's reading his fortune. The hands are greatly positionned, so as everything in the frame actually. A great shot!
Pris.

Bonjour Grazyna

Ce double portrait me permet de découvrir cette remarquable galerie de moments saisis, une technique et un abord de l'humanité que j'aimeras maîtriser.
La présence du public, en arrière plan n'est pas un problème bien au contraire, il met en situation.
Cordialement
Pascal

Dear Grazyna,

A well composed shot with unique POV. I love the streent refletion inthe glass ball. BW is the best option for this shot and DOF is so creative.

Salut Nina

Je dois dire que j'aime bien cette capture. Comment tu t'y es prise? Mystère ! Mais j'aime bien l'ambiance... une image funambule, où tout semble si fragile, prêt à disparaître ou à se transformer. Comme un tour de magie figé à la seconde où l'illusion apparaît. Un bel effet mystificateur! Bravo
Amicalement

Hello Grazyna,
A very expressive photo with good focus and gradually more blurred two persons. The heavy grain goes well with this photo.
Regards,
Paul

It's not about the unknown artist from the Place Beaubourg.
It's about the presentation of your photographs, Grazyna. It's simply beautiful. Flawless in merits and esthetics. Not a one, single pixel I found, to be un-necessary in the photo.
I...'m all in wonder.

holmertz (26876) 2010-10-31 8:27

Hello Grazyna,
A wonderful composition. I love the man's eyes, so full of concentration, and his outstretched hands holding his magic ball. The blurred woman behink makes a fine complement to the white background. The photo is very nicely cropped too.
Regards,
Gert

Great photo dear Nina.
Amazing in its simplicity and optical plays in the magic sphere.
First i thought G was back, well he is here at least with a critique :)
All the best,
Deniz

Toujours un régale de voir tes photos N&B. Celle ci avec le reflet dans la boule et le bokeh sur la femme derrière est ecellent. J'ai du boulot...

Ta seria ze szklaną kulą jest po prostu zjawiskowa. W tej chwili nie wiem, któremu przyznać palmę pierwszeństwa. Z miniaturek sądząc chyba temu. Ale głowy nie dam. nie do góry nogami ;))
