Witaj Maciek,

to co mi sie w tym zdjeciu podoba to ten mocny, zdecydowany crop. Swietnie usytuowany jest ten czlowiek w rogu. Dewastacja niestety totalna i to nam swietnie pokazales. Gratuluje sukcesu Macku.

Maciej ,
Very well seen shot.
This is strong compo but not strongest..
You really picturised the contrast of real life very well, but I feel this shot empty & may be addition of 1 small baby..(I am asking impossible) will help.

Great efforts.

I love, Maciej the blurry, forlorn figure in the left bottom corner pocket, it lifts the picture from being a documentation of ruins rto something more... Now I KNOW you saw the man passing through your finder and you just "nicked" him in the frame. My guess is Zero cropping, right? Very nice work, man.
Now just between us - I am discovering smething that really bothers me abuot the 5D for the jkind of shooting I do, among fast moving crowds, etc. it's response is tood damn slow, do you know what I mean here? IO'm talking about "focus lock-on" then "shutter half-weay step" the finally, often a hlaf second too late...the click. The images are so pretty and creamy coming out of this thing hardly anyone wants to mention this but it is real (partly why so many pros carrty these 1DMkII's around, eh?
Let me know what you think if you have a sec, ok?
Love this pic - it really speaks to me for the reasons I mentioned.
Take care,
Francis
