My Contribution to..., a photo from Sal, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

My Contribution to...
Patterns, Textures...and...people's backs photography...:-))
-------
Many of us start people's photography with a shy approach - photographing people when they "are leaving" the frame...Well, it works, sometimes... But don't give up - try faces, too (coming soon)

(uppps...i'd forget - rules of thirds, very important, too...)
-------

Photo #3
This short series is to play with some typical motives in photography and to have some fun with practicing them...
Please visit other pictures in my theme "My contribution to..." and leave only positive feedback...

This graphical composition is as you say filled with textures and enhanced by the natural colours - does it matter that she walks away...........

J'aime beaucoup ! Peut-être un peu trop clair mais au delà de ça, ton cadrage ici fait merveille ! J'aime l'élégance de la marche de cette gamine et comme tu as joué sur les lignes en arrière plan...
A plus...

Hi Jerzi,
I love your POV, the placement of the little girl and the strong sun all over the place.
Cheers

Witaj Jerzy.

Your right in your note and this kind of composition and photography is good. At least here is very nice and it looks a very interesting work.
The back, the way, the lines (very graphical composition) and also all the details of the photo.

Really an interesting work.
Carlos.

Bonne soirée

Beautiful range of tones, colours and textures. I must admit I find it very difficult to shoot faces - it takes a certain amount of bravery I feel. Delightful composition Jerzy. I posted a small workshop for your approval.

Best regards, Roberto

hello jerzy

nice theme ;)) made me laugh out loud. nice contribution to the 'shy approach to portraiting' too ;) very precise description of that 'method'. in any case, i like this shot despite you showing her back to us, mostly for the color and pattern.

cheers,
kristaps

Hi Jerzy - Nicely seen, it looks that these patterns have a great potential... I tried a little WS... Regards, Daniel

Niezmiernie ciekawe to zdjecie, zupelnie inne niz wszystko, co w tym geometrycznym stylu mozna zobaczyc. Panienka pieknie komponuje sie w calosc. Ciekawe sa tez te odcienie, zupelnie nierealne. Pozdr. G.

The rule of one-thirds...
Mister, they taught me those things in TE, now i cannot take my hands off that damn one-third bussiness.
Lines and lines and lines, slopes and slopes...
I got stuck into those, in your teaching photo.
You contribute so well in any kinda photo. Great!

Hi J!
Good contribution, especially regarding to patterns and textures. As for people's backs photography, I guess you can do better!
On the other hand, I think this is also a contribution to tilted shots :-) Or it is an illusion enhanced by the salt pond pattern, and the road and wall.
Greetings,
F

Hi Jerzy,
This one is excellent. All the elements are there in perfect quantities…the earthy colors so pleasant, the texture, the beautiful lines, the delicate walk of the passer-by... Love the frame!
A fav!
Andre
