The solo player, a photo from Bologna, Emilia-Romagna

Photographer's Note

A trumphet player is performing in the Bazzano Castel, during a music festival.
He was playing under the arcades of the upper floor of the courtyard of the castel, while the rest of the band was playing on the stage.
The atmosphere was really special.

Hi Stefano,

I really like this simple composition of two colors. I like the symmetry of the arches and the musician on the side. A perfect contrast and it so warm orange.

In short, a superb composition and a great shot!

Cheers,
Cris

J'aime beaucoup cette composition. Les ombres chinoises sont parfaites et le sujet des plus beaux.Les arches et le musiciens se complètent très bien.

Hi Stefano,
A magic composition and atmopshere, it reminds me of ombres chinoises, the Chinese shadowplay, as the sihouettes here are so clear and defined. The lines and the trumpeters position are just great, the beautiful orange backdrop makes this very eye catching.
Cheers

Hello Stefano,

Original and beautiful these silhouettes against that pretty yellow/orange background. The posture of the trumpeter (or is this really a trumpet?) is just perfect. To the point that it may look staged (but from your note, it's clearly not the case). As some people commenting before me have written, I would call it an elegant photo!

Cheers,
Claude

Hello Stefano,
The special atmosphere that you mention comes across in this picture. The silhouette of the trumpet player is so well placed in the frame. The black and orange are striking. Excellent work.

Ciao Stefano,
Mi piace molto questa immagine di sagome, nel patio del castello.
Una composizione molto bella con gli archi e l'assolo di tromba.
Eccellente contrasto e colore.
Bravo.
Saluti, Carlos

Bonsoir Stefano,
C'est une jolie silhouette, placée dans un décor qui lui va à merveille. Le fond jaune est superbe, et on distingue très bien tous les détails des colonnes, du musicien et de son instrument de musique. Bravo.

Hello Stefano,whilst the photograph is beautifully conceived and presented it was also important I think, to use the white border to keep it all together.
An atmospheric shot, really well produced and worthy of its praise.
Regards Les.

A very simple picture with only one color and the black silhouette, but it is easily understandable.
Congratulations

Ciao Stefano!
Questa foto e stupenda!Ottima luce e contrasti..Mi piace come si guida l'occhio nella foto, dalla parte destra sotto partendo dal trombetista che la sua silhouette si unisce con la silhouette del patio..

Buona giornata,
Chrysoula!

Hi Stefano

The scene here almost looks surreal!
its as if we're looking at paper-cut-outs of people and a stage set.
wonderful photo in all honesty.

well done!
cheers
