I haven't been to your gallery for a long time:)
Great work, the building in the b/g contrasts well with the man's black clothes.
Non-posing model is the attitude!

Hallo Wolfgang,

eine weitere tolle Aufnahme, die dein bestens geschultes Auge für außergewöhnlich "gewöhnliche" Motive bestätigt..
sehr viele kleine Details im Bild erlauben eine langen Blick zum Verweilen und Betrachten.. sehr schön..

schönes Wochende, Gruß Bernd

Hallo Wolfgang!
Ganz das Gegenteil von meinem heutigen Bild ;-))
Dieser junge Mann hat einen "unheimlich starken Auftritt" in Deinem Foto. Unglaublich, wie stark er sich vom Hintergrund abhebt - und die Scherenschnitte dort sind eine herrliche Entsprechung. Wie sagt man hier - well seen! Ein tolles Foto!
Grüße aus dem regnerischen Siegerland - und ein schönes Wochenende!

Hallo Wolfgang,

Very interesting on the framing, but also on the colour contrast. Normally black looks a bit dull, but here with the bright orange in the background it gives a great contrast to it...i like that part a lot.

Have a nice weekend,

Henk

Again, well spotted ( I assume it was not staged :-) perfect juxtaposition between worker and store window silhouettes, with the pink building's background. Masterful, my dear Wolfgang - you got the eye.
cheers,
Cristian

Hello Wolfgang,
This photo is excellent by the association of the worker in black and black figures on the façade of the house.

Olá Wolfgang, ficou bastante interessante esta foto já que o sr. de preto contrasta muito bem com as silhuetas por trás. Bem apanhado.

Hello Wolfgang,
Not quite Johnny Cash, but never mind a splendid composition all the same! The pose is excellent and the backdrop with geometric patterns and the silhouetted figures in the windows is just perfect. Fine piece of photography. I like it a lot.

Greetings Wolfgang,

Very cool composition! Excellent capture of the moment. It looks like there's a woman peeking through the curtain in the background, which makes it all the better ;) Good colors, striking contrast. Shame the man's left foot is a little cut off.

Very well done!

Warmly,

Rachel

Hallo Wolfgang,
eine sehr interessannte Aufnahme,nicht nur farblich sondern auch wegen des Blickwinkels,
der schwarz gekleidete Mann passt sehr gut zu den Figuren auf den Fenstern,und jemand beobachtet das Ganze aus seinem Fenster!
sehr gut gesehen und eingefangen!
Grüße,
Dimitris.

Hello Wolfgang,
what a combination of the "big" man in black and those small black silhouettes of "inanimate" people in the windows!
Perhaps I am not the first to notice this? This creates a strange feeling... I can't explain which one but it surely is effective.
The background is very bright and the pattern may look a little disturbing but those black silhouettes somehow "connect" the "black man" to the BG - integrate him into it.
In any case, I like the moment which you captured (the man's posture and look).
Have a nice Sunday!
Best wishes,
Elena

Hallo Wolfgang,
ich bewundere immer wieder dein Blick für solche beeindruckenden Motive. Der schwarz gekleidete Mann bildet einen klasse Kontrast zu der orange gemusterten Fassade im Hintergrund. Die Schattenbilder in den unteren Fenstern passen ausgezeichnet zu dieser Szene. Dank der guten Schärfe habe ich soeben noch bemerkt, dass man aus einem Fenster neugierige Blicke in die Kamera wirft. ;-) Ein tolles Bild. Gefällt mir sehr gut.
Viele Grüsse aus dem regnerischen Donautal,
Helmut

Hi, Wolfgang.
Great urban composition.
The silhouette of the man is very well composed in the backround with dark silhouettes in the windows.
Best regards. Grazyna.

bonjour wolfgang,
effectively, your POV is well managed, the man in black looks like a geant, certainly because of the silhouettes in the shop window behind him .

Interesting perspective Wolfgang and very good contrast in this particular view of the worker.He seems to came out of the background silhuettes becoming a live one.
