In the Wall Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I came accross this man in an elevated room in the wall. He was well above my head height. I am not too sure what he did, but I liked his interesting surroundings and the way he was sitting.

This will be my last post for a while as I leave for Canada tomorrow :o)

Hi Wanda,
interesting portrait. The expression of this man is indeed puzzling. That's why I feel the upper part of the picture takes a bit too much space. I wish I could see this man from a closer point of view. I understand though that doing that makes you loose the 'frame within a frame thing'. Anyhow, enjoy your trip...

A very interesting bg and nice portrait. I really like the lighting. Canada?? Will you be visiting Alberta??? Let me know, I would love to meet you. TFS

Wanda: an entire host of images deserving of green today - superb clutter in your well-seen background. I would think the jumbled frames convinced you to take this photograph. c

Hi Wanda,
Very nice portrait of that old man. What was he thinking of you... Indeed a nice surrounding.
Best wishes
Marc

Hi Wanda,

You are leaving for Canada tomorrow?!! Will you visit me?... LOL!

Hey! Another one that I haven't seen before, unless my Alzheimer is becoming more severe.

Okay, here we go; I like how you have used the door contours to frame your subject, I appreciate the fact that there is plenty of light coming inside its room, all these deities representation are fabulous and intriguing (better than pin-ups calendars... LOL!) and most of all, its cool and aloof attitude, like an Indian Serge Gainsbourg.

That's what I like about you; shooting together and not getting the same shots... I really have never seen this guy. You have a good eye Wanda.

André

Can't wait for you to arrive...

Hi Wanda,

I hope you enjoyed your trip to Canada.

Interesting picture the POV is sure unusual.Is that a shop or a house? He doesn't seem too happy about your camera...

Regards,

Flavia

Natural frame created by window makes this composition very interesting. It will be better if this frame were symetric (parallel to your position), but I understand that you've been standing below this window and this is an angle of view effect.
