Photographer’s Note

Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh! Your Daddy's rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby, don't you cry .

One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings, and you'll take to the sky
But 'till that mornin' there's a nothin' can harm you,
with Daddy and Mammy standin' by . . .

Summer came at last. I wish you wonderful happy holidays!

In WS the colour version. It seemed to me that b&w pass better to this old Satchmo&Ella Song.

Hi Malgorzata,
Even in B&W you can feel the heat and the real summer feeling here. Maybe just because of the format. The inclusion of the heron is attractive.

Lovely. sans colours but still paints a vivid image with textures, contrasts and a beautiful scene. The composition is well balanced and mixes the bird and humans so well

Hi Malgorzata,

A nice moment you have shot with the presence of the bird and the characters.
All benefit of the summer atmosphere.

I propose my vision of the scene as WS.

Have a nice day.

No fajne. Ciekawie wyszło w B&W. Ja mam w tym roku wakacje na budowie albo w ogóle będę bez urlopu, więc chętnie oglądam takie zdjęcia, ale z nostalgią i pewnym rozdrażnieniem.
Pozdrawiam.

Ale swietna fotka - super ten ptak (czapla? bociek ? ) zapozowal..
Plaza prawie jak w Polsce - krótka :)
Pozdrawiam

Niezle, niezle...
Duzo fajnego tu jest...
Ale gdyby pozbyc sie tego dlugiego muru, to byloby przebojem (na przyklad ciac w pionie).
Pozdrawiam. Grazyna

Hej Malgoska!
ZaToba to naprawde trudno nadazyc ;). Ale kadr wysmienity super spacerek pokazalas. Ptak dodaje smaku. A Floryda i czarno-biala sie prezentuje po amerykansku.

Ciao Maògorzata,
molto bello questo bianco e nero, la coppia che cammina sulla spiaggia con questo uccello al centro della scena che contrasta con i palazzi sullo sfondo, danno una atmosfera particolare alla foto.
ottimo lavoro
Giorgio

Ciao Malgorzata,
sono d'accordo con te, il bianco e nero risalta meglio questa suggestiva immagine, anche pensando alla bella canzone di Luis Amstrong & Ella Fitzgerald. Mi piace molto l'effetto delle ombre sulla spiaggia. Una composizione particolare e piacevole. Bravisima.
Ciao
Paolo.

Hello, Malgorzata,
that is one of my favorite songs. I, too, like this shot in B&W. The wall leads in nicely and I like the curves of the waves washing againt the shore. The couple walking away are in a nice spot and I expecially like the crane standing there in the FG. Hope you have lovely summer holidays. Many thanks and best wishes to you and that little granddaughter!
Shelly

Czesc,
piekny slowny komentarz do fotografii, stary song zawsze mile slyszany. Ptak oswojony widac z ludzmi na Florydzie. Masz co wspominac, podrozniczko.
Pozdr. Al.

What is doing that egret on the beach? it should be in a lagoon shouldn't it?
I think it is better in W.&B. than in colour. It remindes me of the fifties and the summer holidays when school was over...
Fine composition,
Donato

Hello Malgorzata,
I would have expected colours to express that special summer feeling better, but I think b&w works excellently in this case. I like the long perspective of the picture, where it seems you could be walking almost forever barefoot in the sand. I also like the enclosure of the bird, which seems to be testing with at toe if the water is warm enough.
The ws made by ticoeurs is also a very interesting option.
Regards,
Gert
