Hello Fred,

very moody...indeed, I can almost see a story or a song behind this...well done!

Take care, Ivana

hello frederic,
i like this composition of grey and black. The man in his black coat and hat is perfectly placed. You have captured a good sense of the day as you describe.
regards,
Bev

Bonjour Frederic,

I find this moody shot very appealing. The shutter speed creates a kind of 'photography pioneer' atmosphere. In combination with the man walking away from us, I find this very succesful work. I've just read a wonderfully slow novel ("The Confessions of Zeno") and think this would make a great cover for it. Merci.

Benny

bonsoir frederic,

c'est vrai qu'il y a de l'émotion dans cette photo ; l'air semble vibrer par la présence de ce personnage mystérieux.

Great moody shot, Fred. In your style - blurred, somewhat OE'd, contrasty.

Impressionistic in your style. And moody, and greyish, and atmospheric (in both meaning). Like pencil or charcoal drawing.
Like it very much.
Greetings T.

Ciao Fred,
a bit my mood yesterday...
Sometimes we feel lonely, it seems that nobody love us, we believe that noboby understand us.
But sometimes the life could be so surprising!
GREAT!!!
The subject is excellent, his attitude perfect and the blur superb... and gives well the idea of being in solitude and absorbed in thoughts.
Bravoooooooooooo!
Anna

Bien stylisée aussi, great moood, mais j'aurais coupé légèrement en haut, cette barre noire, de façon à traverser un peu le haut du chapeau.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

This one jumped out at me from your gallery Frederic - I like it.
If anything I think I'd prefer more movement blur, with less detail visible in his clothes and the wall behind him.
It's very 'smooth', but that's digital for you. Try cranking up the ISO for more noise, or try adding film grain in PP (or even better, shoot film!).

Cheers,
Ben
