Hi Pierre, A good capture of the special expression of the lady. You did a good job to find the different in a big crowd. A very well taken picture. I like the colorful coats in contrast to the gray and white winter colors, as the blurred background scene for this picture. I enjoy this picture very much. Thanks for sharing.

Pierre what an expression captured here. I really love how her expression stands out in contrast to all the others who are busy moving. Her eyes make time stand still. A gorgous photo! Thanks for sharing!

allo Pierre
I like the way you have singled out this one person, a bit more of a shallower DOF would have been splendid, nice scene you have captured here .. the colours seem very good, very appropriate for the winters
good one
cheers ... sarju

Hi Pierre. What I like is how the girl you are concentrated on seems to be the only one remotely looking back which helps accentuate her expression even more. You sure have a lot of vivid colors too. Nice one Pierre.

Find a pattern such as this is so effective, Pierre. The girl whose face is different really get the attention. Nice mood and good seeing!

Hi Pierre,
Nice moment and nicely captured in a daily life in a winter and snow time. Your perspective and angle approach is excelent and the people frame is so well captured and the enquadrement is splendid. A row of nice people at winter standing up for a mouvement or transport. Excelent light handling, angle approach, sharpness, colors and vision by your signature.

Best to you and your nice work and also FTS.
Fernando

Bonjour mon ami Pierre,
Je m'aperçois que je suis passé à côté de ces deux dernières photographies !
Patineurs et patineuses sont nombreux à vouloir glisser sur la glace à voir le monde sur la piste.
Ici, excellente prise de vue avec cette femme au bonnet rouge, on ne voit quelle ! Perdue dans ses pensées, ou bien cherche-t-elle comment réaliser une figure artistique !
Amitiés
Philippe

Hi Pierre,
Well composed and dynamic, with good colour and contrast. I like this slice of outdoor skating life. You are right about some of the women being pensive and lost in thought. Both the red toque and the white hat being worn stand out here. The people seem completely unaffected by your camera. Well captured, Pierre.
John

Salut Pierre

Perhaps I would crop to just above the lamp silhouette at right, & rotate the image slightly ccw? Superb dof & color, with reasonable sharpness. Bon travail!

Wow, great title and also the capture is great, her hat is very vivid in colour, well done

jemaflor (38911) 2006-02-07 13:33

Salut Pierre,
Cela donne envie de voir ce qu'ils observent, avec un point fort le regard de la personne au bonnet rouge ... dommage qu'il y ait sur ta photo plusieurs éléments distrayant (poteau, lampe, pancarte )

bertolucci (11976) 2006-02-07 15:53

Hi Pierre, the girl indeed really stands out here due to her bright red hat and pensive expression. I again like the colourful pattern the garments form - graphically very pleasing! Nice daily life winter pic.
Have a nice week,
Bert

Again a nice colorful image of winter, Pierre, but perhaps a bit too many poles in the frame. I would have preferred a tighter crop around the main characters. Although you've placed her/them at a strong point there are too many distractions in the composition. However I like the calmness that the image mediates. Well done!
