bonsoir Stéphane
et bien j'aime beaucoup cette version. Le cadrage est bien trouvé, belle diagonale. Et les teintes sont très belles. Bravo pour cet exercice difficile.

Hi Stephane,
You really did frame it wonderfully here. I like this partial B/W look. It is not easy to get a novel POV for the statue, but you did it well.

I'm starting to worry! More and more I am liking tilt :) Before too long I might be trying it myself! :D. I think what makes the tilt work is the fact the torch is in the top corner and not some arbitrary place.
I love it; I'm also surprised that I like the totally white and featureless sky. This shot is all about Madame la Liberté and not about pretty fluffy clouds.
I also like the WSs, especially the abstract; it's a pity to leave it languishing in a WS. good work

Salut Stéphane,
Dur de choisir en effet :o) !
J'aime bien celle-ci en tout cas, avec un côté un peu sombre, on pourrait écrire beaucoup de textes à partir de ça...
Bien vu, cette série sur Miss Liberty.
Bonne soirée,
JB.

Stephane,

I like this one, maybe because of the textures and perspective, I think it's an interesting view of the statue,

superbe équilibre trouvé dans ce cadrage,
la version abstraite est marrante mais c'est bien celle-ci qu'il fallait poster,
le rendu des textures est effectivement très bon et j'aime bien le contraste avec ce fond blanc

Salut Stephane,
Je vais essayer un peu de psychanalyse médiocre: quelques seconds avant cette ci tu n'as pas réussit de chasser la Statue de la Liberté de Paris qui tu a vu par la fenêtre du train ou tu étais. En ce moment là tu as décidé "quand je vais en NY je ferais une photo avec le PdV que j'ai perdu!".
Plus sérieusement: c'est une perspective superbe, avec un impact visuel très fort. Bravo!
Amicalement, José.

Hi Stéphane, when I saw the icon I was a bit disapointed. But when I opend the pic it was completly different. The perspective is unusual and cool ... and the texture is beautiful. Nice image. Nino.

Salut Stephane
très sympa cette diagonale sur fond de ciel uniformément blanc, ça permet de se concentrer sur les formes et les textures.
C'est très bien vu et ces couleurs un peu vertes font très SF!!
Amicalement

I really dont know why I also prefer this one either Stephane. Well, maybe becuase of the light, with the sky so burnt and white giving more sharpen to the figure of the statue, making the texture of the stone clearer than other photos of the same famous spot.
Take care,
Miguel

Hello Stéphane,

I looked to your previous picture with the statue as subject, I found this something better, but is very subjective, your previous was classic and this here have a modern look through the diagonal version.
But both are very well of quality and nice for look it.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hey there,

I like all 3 views - probably the abstract one in last position... but this is a nice new way of showing her magnificence.

THe spikes are such a powerful sight in this.

Hello Stephane, a great alternative POV of this unmistakeable icon of America.
I like your treatment of the subject with a feeling of it being nearly a silhouette, but not quite.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Re bonsoir Stéphane,

Sympa cette déclinaison sous différents angles de la dame Liberty, mais effectivement ma préférence va vers celle-ci. J'aime beaucoup le cadrage au petit poil. Bon traitement de l'image, la statue ressort bien sur ce fond blanc. Bien vu.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Hi Stephane,
I like the color tone used here ... it is like the old Ilford paper tone used on film ptocessing. Clarity of details is good ... the diagonal orientation actually makes it more dynamic. Well captured and composed! tfs

Bonjour Stéphane,
I really like the way you captured the Statue of Liberty here, the very white background works great and I find the tilt also an excellent idea. Sharpness and details are great too. Thanks for sharing!

Lars

Stéphane, c'est très dur de photographier un monument au moins autant de fois photographié que la Tour Eiffel ou que la Statue de la Liberté. J'aime cette vue en contre plongée entre la carte postale et l'abstraction. On sait de quoi il s'agit et la composition est très dynamique, bravo !

Bonjour Stephane
The white sky...you did some PP? Quite unbelievable, but then perhaps the effects of NYC perhaps. Tilt again & works again, works mighty well. I love the Abstract Way WS, this could be tantalising as a post, pls. post it as an original, my request
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Stephane. The view of the freedom statue is not new. Nevertheless the photo is worth seeing. You set this important figure very effectively in scene. The diagonal in the composition is perfect. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.
