[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I’m listening. I’ve been listening since ever. Not only receiving words, but trying to decode what they mean for you at the precise moment your thoughts are put in form in your mouth.

Your lips are moving and it seems as though we were underwater, like in a dreamy world, comfortably numb in an exchange of nonsense.

I’m not sure to understand, but I guess you don’t necessarily need to be understood. We’re just playing our social role here. And that is a way, like any other, to let time go by.

Sharing solitudes is also a way of sharing.

Ps: Fête de la Musique, Geneva

Un superbe regard, fort, prenant, lourd qui est magnifié par le traitement clair, plus léger.
J'aime aussi le grain ici.
Très belle image, Gal ;-)

queria ser eu a quebrar a simetria dos seus 2400 com um :)).
linda nota. ah! essa ponte impossível de transpor...
já experimentou um blur? às vezes retrata bem uma certa incompreensão, uma certa perplexidade perante o mundo.
beijo

hi gal
not your most powerful shot, but i like the effect of the grains here

Your notes are works of art in themselves. Yes he really does look as though he's listening very hard. Grea capture, pity about the feet top left.

silence isn't golden when your holding it inside, that's a fact...
But we all know it doesn't necessary take wisdom to speak, but the wisdom to listen is the same wisdom that should decide wether it is needed or socially right... can seem cruel and blunt at moments ;)...

cool photo! you sure have the talent to portrait people without them ever noticing you, and i think that's rare and i'm glad you exploit that...

Good shot Gal,
Very nice composed, ver nice serie, from a specialis, very good job

Great emotion! The shoes above make the photo and make me think about how they must have spent their day in the park.

Looking closely it's not clear who's listening to who. He might be but he sure has something to say too.

No need to see the name iunder the thumbnail, Gal. It's an obvious Eota.
I like his intense look, nad I ike how you chose the important thing, here. If we cant' listen anymore, wahte else? And that's hwat he really does, to HER, on the Fête de la Musique.
Points for your notes as well, Gal

A simple but effective composition. The expression on the man's face appears to be very sincere. Wonderful matching note. Well seen. Well captured. Great composition.

I can relate to the note and I'm sure I've worn that expression more than once in that situation... I like the feet; symbolic of the distractions that sometimes plague the listener when too much information is being received.

Regard sur ce... formidable regard qui veut en dire long ! Je pense que cette personne ne restera pas seule longtemps. Excellente image Gal. Bravo pour la note également.

Gal:

Nice posting! Nice notes!

nice portrait, great model expression, well done
Regards, piotr

Un regard d'acier, un portrait superbe ta seul technique je pense être là et savoir voir. Magnifique/jr

Très belle photo qui interpelle ... le regard !

Son regard est effectivement le sujet principal de cette image. le regard en dit beaucoup plus que les mots ne voudraient en dire. La note sur l'écoute "émotive" va dans ce sens.
C'est du très beau travail.
Toutes mes félicitations.

O olhar do homem é verdadeiramente intenso e é tão nitido o que se passa que dispensava titulo nota e tudo!

As cores pouco saturadas, e o grão dão um ar frio à foto o que cria uma certa tensão na composição, a qual é muito aumentada pela visão de trás da rapariga. Algo se passa e nós estamos excluidos! Somos apenas observadores...

Hi Gal. I like the expression on the man and the sort of way that we are left guessing at what is being discussed (although your note sorts that out for us ;) ). Is the grainy look a result of post processing? Might be just a little overdone for my tastes. Nice shot.

Ouf ... ce type a "un regard de fou", mais Dieu que j'aime ça !!!

Le regard de ce jeune homme est fascinant, on le sent complètement subjugué par la personne en face du lui. J’aime la simplicité de la composition et le grain de cette magnifique photo.
