Help Me To Mount !!! Photo

Photographer’s Note

Help Me To Mount !!!
--------------------
Within the little everyday scenes to be found in everyday life, this 'grandmother' wanted to fulfill the hope of being able to mount one of the top horses of Mounted Police (Carabineros), in the main square of the city of Pereira.

The Police graciously gave pleasure, but had to help her climb on the animal, and then to be very proud to take a photograph.

Situations that are fun ...!

Through a filter that simulates Ps Agfa100 the film, I gave him treatment in B/W. I hope to be liked by everyone.

Greetings, John

Olá John,
interessante essa foto sua em P&B, ja que sua galeria é marcada por fortes cores, mas acredito que ficou ótima nesse caso, pois a atenção se prende toda na mulher tentando montar no cavalo, chega a ser engraçado mesmo.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hola John,
Una gran escena, si señor, y muy simpatica. El encuadre es estupendo y los tonos en B/N magníficos. Bien hecho amigo.
Cordialmente

Hola John,
una imagen bien cómica y con sentido del humor....el caballo como diciendo no,no,no, la señora diciendo no puedo, no puedo, no puedo, y los Carabineros pensando ¿ pero qué estamos haciendo?......buen momento !

El color B&N y el tratamiento están bien.
Un abrazo, Jordi

Hola John!

Interesante toma de vida cotidiana, un momento decisivo, y un buen ejemplo de "street photography". Gran encuadre cerrado y composicion, me gusta el b&n, aunque me gustaria verla en color, tambien! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

Hola John,
Una imagen llena de sentido de humor, con el trasero impresionante de este caballo.
Me gusta la manera con la cual los Carabineros quieren ayudar a la señora a subir... no me parece muy eficaz :-))
Al contrario, tu foto lo es. Nos muestra un período de la vida cotidiana como nos gusta verlos. Gracias y un abrazo,
Marianne

very tender yet dramatic shot. BW adds a touch of universality

Hola John,
Una imagen bien cogida y divertida. Una abuela muy aventurera, lo caballo es gigantesco. La amabilidad de los policías es interesante.
Saludos, José.
