Is there anybody gone to listen to... Photo

Photographer’s Note

Is there anybody gone to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl you want so much
It makes you sorry;
Still, you don't regret a single day.
Ah girl! girl!

She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there, you feel a fool.
Didididi..
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, cool, cool, cool,
Girl! girl! [was she]

When i think of all the times i've tried so hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry;
And she promises the earth to me
And i believe her.
After all this times i don't know why.
Ah, girl! girl!

She's the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there,
You feel a fool.
When you say she's looking good, she acts as if it's understood.
She's cool, cool, cool, cool, girl! girl!

Was she told when she was young the pain
Would lead to pleasure?
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back to earn
His day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead?
Ah girl! girl! girl!

Hmm this is a great picture Paolo. I like the colours and sharpness of this compo, and of course the human element shown here :-)

Hi Paolo
It's a nice idea to illustrate this song with one of your picture. It's also an hommage to feminity.
Nice light and colors.
I would prefere to see the girl from face, but however it's nice.

Hi Paolo

I like the low pov, & perspective added by the boardwalk. A very attractive 'girl'. The kids & beach add context, & the old Beatles song lyrics seem to fit the image. Ciao.

Hi Paolo,

nothong like a girl to bring them in:) Its a nice shot, and most of it is thanks to her:) A pleasing angle for sure with fantastic colors.

Cretense (56072) 2006-09-08 6:40

Hi Paolo!
Great "refreshing" photo remimding me of the nice summer moments, now that I'm back to work. Good composition and exposure. I like how we see the back of the girl and not her face. Very well done!

Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Paolo.

Excellent song this "Girl". I must say I am only able to look at the girl but I suppose the picture will be lovely too... :P

Nice colours!

Rgs, Oscar

cessy (13647) 2006-09-08 7:58

Emile (19973) 2006-09-08 12:10

Hola Paolo.
Nice daily life picture with children playing on the beach, you captured it from a good angle placing the young girl in the foreground giving a good perspective to your shot. Very good colors and lighting.
Well done.

Hi Paolo

REally nice compo in this colorful picture.
It remembers me the 70's with these colors and contrasts.

hi paolo
Good catch from the beach. The human touch is a fine detail to include. The pov indicates a kind of laid back shooting position. Nice work..

Ah! Men! I would have preferred a nice muscled young man, but of course I don't get to choose. :)
Good device to tempt the eye into the frame as if we were following her (looking for the men). The boardwalk is an excellent lead-in past the playing children to the boat. A successful image.

Ciao Paolo,
He he that is the kind of view that for sure motivates, superb summer colors captured by your fine CANON camera that is for sure a lot more convenient and discrete than a big DSLR for such beauty hunting, nice D.O.C. (Dolinade d'Origine Controlee).
Have a nice day, a presto,
Jean-Yves
