Hola Rosalie:
Bonita composición con un enfoque en el primer plano y la presencia del chico corriendo al fondo.
Es una imagen estética y armoniosa.
Un saludo: Javi

Hi Rosalie,
fine composotion, even I would have crop the top a little, and great contrast. Good choice of the POV.

Hi Rosie - nicely done, good low POV, and an interesting choice of focus to create an absract image. I'd agree with Fred about cropping the top a little bit.

I like what you've done here Rosalie, and I'm a bit surprised that you have that much depth of field with the aperture you were using.

The tones and textures I both love here, as you almost present a series of layers.

Rosalie? Rosalie Petro? Rosiegirl? Wow!
I missed your photos, dear! ;)
Do you know what? This weekend, I went on your page to see if you were still active on some ways... Nope. No signs of life. Almost wrote a word to you! So, I'm happy to see a new post from you!
The photo is a good idea, the black & white is good, the overexposed sky is right too. My problem is more with the too centered runner and the fact that his second foot is lost with the background.
I hope you are going well and you'll come back with your creative work! Have the most wonderful 2007 year!

Rosie, you're posting again! I can't tell you how hapy that makes me, and you've lost nothing of your dreamy flair... Excellent framing and DOF, and not where ne might normally expect the focus to be.
MORE please!

Hey Rosie
good to see some new post from you.
I know it was posted in Jan ... but still it is new for me ... since I have been pretty much absent from here for almost a year now.
but still I wanted to say that it was good to see some new work from you ... I hope you are doing well.
Take care ... Sarju
PS: About this photo ... I love low your perspective very much .. shows me that not everything has to be in focus for a photo to speak to you.

A good photograph. At first I pondered on probably reducing the sky area but it becomes a good counter point to the lower foreground. It gives the photo a little tension.

Hello Rosalie!
After your comment on my picture I decided to discover who you were...and I like a lot what I am seeing...and also a big surprise to see that your latest picture goes back to Jan 2007! I sure hope this is a new start on the site now...?

The elegant simplicity of this. I see a lot of b/w in your gallery and that delights me. Young boy running in the nature...I enjoy so much the way you played with the DOF here, giving it a dynamic yet slightly dreamy feeling, the out-of-focus boy against the white sky. I have tried with less sky as some suggest, but I prefer this version. Am still too new in photography to truly point out why:-)

Looking forward impatiently for more.
