On a cold morning..., a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

I found this group of men, chatting, having an argument, discussing politics...who knows
The middle one was not involved but he seems to follow closely the discussion

Nobody has marked this note useful

Hello Maria,

This is a good street scene where cold may be fough by a heated dicussion. The three people are well placed anf I like the pointing finger. The light is good and enhances colors with very good sharpness.

Best regards

Jacques

Nice scene, Maria - the man at left is speaking forcefully, judging by the reactions of the other two men. I like how you've presented this, and you captured them at a good dynamic moment.

Hello Maria,
This is a wonderful example of street photography. They seem unaware of your presence. The light falling on the three men is excellent and separates them from the BG very well. A very well taken and produced image.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hi Maria
A street candid taken with good technique, grab them in action to make the picture tells a story even though the central fig is fully aware of your presence. He is well positioned, good provocative pose too, being the most effective element to hold the focus on and filled with some emotion, eye contact and it's the intensity of concentration of his look says alot, the strongest point of this shot. So much character and feeling and the dark background has brought out the detail superbly without intrusion. A fine street candid of everyday life. Great clarity and colors as well. TFS
Kind regards

Bonjour Maria
Une scène intéressante de la vie locale de cette ville.
Mais de mon côté je ne me risquerai pas de photographier ce genre de scène dans certains quartiers de ma ville car à 80%, je risque de tomber sur des fournisseurs de drogue où de leurs clients, à moins de photographier de très loin avec un super téléobjectif.

Hello Maria,
I like this kind of street-shot which allows some room for my imagination. Watching the body language is just as interesting as actually hearing the conversation. The light is good, but I also very much like the gradual change of colours from dark to light, left to right, going through the building as well as their clothes.
Kind regards,
Gert.

Hi Maria,

Good snap shot of the street of NY, not many such photo here about daily life of NY. Mostly of landmark and beautiful landscape. It is great to see something different. We can really see the concentration and how these men are very much engage in their conversation...Excellent details and good square format.

Hola Maria.
Fantastica composicion de la vida diaria en la ciudad, con esta perfecta imagen que nos muestra de forma muy real, esta escena nocturna con el grupo de hombres, que nos transmiten de forma muy grafica su concentracion en la conversacion.
Perfecta nitidez y luminosidad, con unos colores muy reales.
Buen trabajo.
Pasa un buen dia.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Hello Maria,

I hope my critic finds you in good health & that the New year has started off well for you.
This is an excellent daily life image & you managed to capture the expressions of these three men perfectly.
I wonder if it was politics they were debating whatever they were talking about something funny was said.
Yes the last photo you commented on was taken in the province of B.A.

Kindest regards,
Dawn.

Hello Maria,

You're capturing well this scene by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the spectacle in which the men who wore winter clothes are chatting in the street corner. It is one clipping of the everyday life in character with an cosmopolitan city. And, it's interesting in the chair of long length in which the right man is sitting down.

Kind regards,
mikio

Hola Maria,
this is a very well composed and framed daily life scene. It's very natural and casual but the consistency and harmony of the colours makes it, in my opinion, artistic as well. You've managed the light most effectively and have achieved superb depth and clarity. The three men look almost 3D, I like very much how they look absolutely absorbed by their conversation. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania
