Photographer’s Note

¿ Did ?
--------------------------

By the end of 2008, I took a few days off and I gave a short tour of the city of Medellin, in particular to visit some friends and discover a little of this important city, which for the holiday season is beautifully decorated.

Walking along the old Plaza Cisneros, now converted into a tourist site of great importance, this character detail from the window of an old building, trying to stick with a "do not achieve that."

Perhaps the time had escaped, but outside of the membership that it could create by taking into account the symmetry and alignment of the windows to the door of the beautiful scenery, contrasting colors and tried to frame it.

I hope to be liked by everyone.

John

Hola John,
Será que voy a ser el primero a criticarla?
La simetría, los padrones, los colores y los reflejos en las ventanas bastarían para hacer una foto muy interesante. La presencia del hombre y su situación son un bono y trae un toque de humor que la hacen irresistible. Tuviste suerte por ele estar vestido de verde, combinando con las ventanas.
Un abrazo, José.

Hola John,

You captured a splendid graphism while adding a model busy on his duty. I like the symmetry and wonderful contrasts of green frames with terracotta brick facade. Excellent timing, excellent catch. Perfectly balanced, congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Saludos cordiales,

The man doing whatever he is doing is nice but for me the most beautiful thing in here is the old glass windows reflection. Modern glass is much more uniform and do not reflect the same way.
Another interesting thing is that the top floor looks like a later extension as the brick work is not that good, compared to the ground floor.
By the way, it is a very nice picture.
All the best for 2009.
Antonio

Hola fiera.

Hahahahahaha, grande la persona esa por allá intentando alcanzar el objeto claro que si. Rompe la simetría y hace de ella una bonita composición.

Un abrazo!

Hello John,
Interesting composition to show a cleaner doing his work, this let me remember that cleaners in my city, especially at common area and shopping complex, actually I do not like them to use a same broom for sweeping floor to sweep another things/ place also, like sweep the seats...etc, then I feel those seats are dirty, hihi........
This shoot have attractive color and great reflection on the glass windows, you have sharp eyes to discover this scene, well done.

Hello, John,
I find this simply wonderful with all the shapes and patterns, different colors, the way the reflections are kind of wavy. It all looks so cool together and the colors contrast perfectly. As Shevchenko mentioned, you have a great eye to spot such a great scene. Many thanks and all the very best for the coming year!
Shelly

Hi John

Good to have the man with the long handle breaking the pattern. Good symmetry, between the 2 open & 2 closed windows. Excellent sharpness & composition. Tfs!

Hi John

I live in an apartment and I did the same thing one day. I had to pick a toy of my daughter that was in a lamp under my window.
Interesting moment that you captured.Very beautiful images in the glass windows.
Abraços
Maria

belido (16243) 2009-01-05 4:19

Hola John,

além de ser uma excelente captura frontal da bela arquitetura, o momento foi perfeito com o rapaz a limpar essa fachada. Deu vida a uma imagem que já era bela. Gosto do que você nos apresenta aqui. Parabéns!
Saludos,
Carlos

Hola John,
Very nice capture of the man with the same color as the building. The reflection on the window panes adds a lot of charm to this image.

Hola John!

Impresionante toma de arquitectura e interesante foto del dia a dia, ese hombre ha "roto" la simetria perfecta, pero ha anadido algo mas interesante, "vida"! Impecable manejo de la luz, muy bellos colores! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Colombiana (2542) 2009-01-06 14:17

Hola John,
¿Como así que estuvo en mi Medallo!? :)
No me diga que no tomaste fotos de los alumbrados en Medellín. Te quedo chévere esta foto, y como dicen los demás, el hombre rompió la simetría pero de una forma efectiva que le añade mucho dinamismo a la imagen.
Un abrazo cordial,
Tu amiga paisita… Maryori :)

I love the bricks and the action which seems rather precarious! The composition is neat and well handled indeed. Great image John...well managed and nicely seen

Hi John. Excellent symmetry and I love the blend of patterns and textures. The man cleaning is an excellent touch and adds a wonderful focal point the anchors the image well. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Hello John,

This is a very specially manner for clean the lights beneath.
An extraordinarily picture, certainly through the green colour of the windows.
An excellent picture nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

balatrek (7419) 2009-01-21 11:22

Hola John,

Un tiro interesante, sin duda el momento que capturaste está lleno de chispa, las puertas y los balconcillos ya por si solos crean una composición interesante, el hombre le da el toque necesario para que esa simetría desaparezca y equilibre el trabajo, quizás se hubiese podido corregir un poco la distorsión de la perspectiva, pero solo es un pequeño detalle.

Un abrazo compañero
José

Hola John!
Me gustan las fotos de ventanas originales, de estilo grafico. Aquì, el color verde risalta bien sobre el rojizo de los ladrillos!
Este hombre limpiando la pared es como un guiño divertido!
Gracias por compartir!
Saludos cordiales!
MarieLouise.

Hello John,
that's a funny shot :) Excellent timing!
looks a little fantastic, though (it's just my impression). But what I also like very much is the unusual reflection in the window glasses!
Best regards,
Elena
