Photographer’s Note

more pics from Medieval Festival 2006 in Turku here: www.fotokuan.blogspot.com
n the middle of Jule at the Old Great Square in Turku we could see performance about the Middle Age. Scenes with life tenants from medieval Turku were around us. It was exactly as in A.D 1397. People were debating: who actually was the lawful ruler of the country? The peasants were restless and angry because had a heavy taxation. In this time Turku was ruled by Germans. They wanted to set off to the see but looked for seamens. I understood just a little, rather I guessed: what was the whole play about. Everything was in Finnish. I saw somebody stealing the sacrificial money from the Cathedral and fireing town. Then all tenants: (women and children too) helped to extinguish fire. An important person published that the sacrificial money of the Cathedral was found. The performance was finished by the Bishop who together with tenants thanked God for saving their town. Then all people danced all night. It’s the main story but at the same time was a small story with life tenants. Mothers were giving birth, peasants were drinking beer and talking the strange stories. Musician were singing and playing. Salesmans were selling a lot of handcrafts stylized on medieval.

Hi Anna,

This photo is too nice to be real!!! Wow! What an unbelievable point of view! You’ve choose a superb framing by getting attention on hands and the little girl. It’s fascinating to see all these beautiful colours all together and the different hands gesture. The expression and the posture of the girl is also very nice.

This is a very strong composition, well taught and very appealling. Cropping on 5 people was also clever. Everything is perfect.

I’m very impressed!

Hi Anna, You chose a great POV highlighting just the little girl and the different gestures of the hands. Combined with beautiful colours, it makes for a wonderful picture.

Hi Ana
A wonderful and lovely picture. The child and all the coloured dresses and hands....one must see this to capture it. Well done.
take care, Albrecht

Hi Anna,
This is an amazing photo, from the colours to the composition to the expression that you have captured on the little girls face. Well captured.
Regards
Wanda

Galeota (10334) 2006-08-27 11:36

Hello Anna, this is very well seen (by the way, the little girl is also having an unique view on whatever scene they're looking at). Even their shoes are "middle aged". Perhaps in those times they hadn't such beautiful and well cared hands (thank you Clarins..."). Good work.

Cormac (26455) 2006-08-27 11:40

Great composition! I like the way you concentrated on the girl, crouching in front of the older women. Cutting off the heads of the older women was a bold move, but I think it paid off well, because it then throws all attention to the girl. Excellent!

I enjoy a lot by visualising it. U have really a good eye and u utilised at the right moment.

ayobami (1343) 2006-08-27 17:31

Everything about this image is perfect - the colours, the costumes, the lighting, POV, composition, the details of their bags or ropes for instance or even cobblestones , the hands especially and the girl most of all! It has such a wonderful feel to it and the expression on this girl is wonderful! Gorgeous image and a definite competition winner if you ever submit it to anything!

priyasri_80 (363) 2006-08-28 4:34

Nice combination of colors. The posture of the girl and her mood adds beauty to the pic.

Hello Anna. A outstanding photo. The screen window is perfect. The photo consists of two centers: the figures in the background and the squatting girl in the foreground. In addition the unusual colors come. A wonderful photo. Many greetings, Wolfgang.

Hi Anna, beside the very nice row of colorful clothes, I love this compo with this very little part of concrete and this very charismatic little girl, well seen...
Cheers
Yan

JonteW (182) 2006-08-29 18:48

Lovely colors and composition! Well spotted!
For some reason this takes me to northern Africa or the Middle East and makes me think about spices. Probably because of the strong colors...

veronika (6022) 2006-08-30 4:07

Hi Anna,
innovative cropping here :)
With their heads it would look like a family picture, but without them it looks much more..better :)) lol
No no, hope you understand what i want to say, they form a great background for the little girl lost in her thoughts..
Very nice!
Vero (be back)

my favourite photo...you have nice photos of people

TravelerNL (2967) 2007-01-21 16:43

Hello Anna,
Great colorful photo. You can't get that much info on what's happening without the note from the body language of the people in the background. The small girl in front looks quite angry though. Well captured.
