Hi Nino. Quite an original image. Looks like he's all set with his goods and his cell phone. I think I would have liked the shot more diagonal with the man angled towards the lower left, instead of being up against the wall here. But then again, I have no idea what was right in front of him :)

Nino,
I like this shot. It is a very original image. The image says a lot about the hectic, high-tech times that we live in. The composition is excellent. Keep the creativity going!

This image works exceptionally well, it gets to be quite graphic, with the large patches of almost solid color on the ground, the bench, the coat.

And we can almost feel the story behind this, the shopping, getting tired, waiting for someone perhaps, reaching for the company of the cell-phone...

Great shot!

Excellent pov and crop. The compo is modern and urban, as always. The wooden table makes extra graphic details. You composed that perfectly.

Hi Nino,
Excellent work. Infact this reminds me of some of your own earlier work at the Siam Center in Babgkok. Good high POV. The lettering works well to catch the eye.

Hi Nino,
There are two features of your daily life shots that always impress me, aside from the obvious quality - the unposed appearance of the subjects and secondly the POV, which often is unusual and skilfully planned. Here we have a man who could be deep in contemplation, sad, bored, engrossed, or lonely. We are left to speculate. His jeans appear to be rather worn and the rather antiseptic surroundings hopefully do not describe the barrenness of his life. Very effective work, as always.

Hi Nino,

Great moment for this image, looks like he's all set with his goods and his cell phone, or he shall sleep! I like the word back the man "stilwerk" well done! Thanks for sharing.

Have a nice sunday,
John.

Hi Nino, efficient and clever use of your high POV to obtain this creative image. It's a scene we probably often see, and yet your eye has seen it for the shot. The position of his head, hands and legs is perfect. TFS! Daniel

Hi Nino,
A good compo from that vertical POV, giving graphical impact with well positionned elements... colors and sharpness are fine.
Hi from... BKK ;D

Hi Nino
That was quite a time for this new post! I like your orinality yet again...you've truly turned a new leaf with your photography. The framing is very good with the man placed off-centre with the Stylework written on the bench with the leftside empty. Very well composed from this very good high POV
Regards
Angshu

Hello Nino. An interesting photo with an original focus. The actual motive is to be seen on the right side of the picture. This directs the view of the man and its occupation with the mobile phone. Very beautifully and well taken. Best regards, Wolfgang.

marknunnerley (2768) 2007-05-15 8:51

Works really well Nino. Superb angle and comp with the text jumping out at you. It shouts out for a lot more of these type of pov's don't you think?
Best regards Nino and have a good holiday.

i would have loved to take this one... i like the graphism in it a lot... the way his coat is spread on the bench adds a lot to the charm i think... good job nino... bravissimo...
