Isn't she lovely ? ;-), a photo from Ile-de-France, North

Photographer's Note

For sure, you can't see how wonderful is the baby ;)
But I promiss you he is very nice.

What his mother is saying to him? :°)

I took this shot in the Cour Saint-Emilion, a lovely place of Paris situated in the 12th district, in Bercy.
If you go to Paris then you must visit it because it is very different and alive, not like other places of the town.

Bon soir, David!
Even though blocks of flats seem to be a bit overexposed, they really mix in well with all other elements in this frame.
The composition is fantastic and the mother with her child really seem to be happy enjoying this serene place by the water.
What a lovely place to spent an afternoon!

What a nice family photo. The place shown here must be very family friendly with such beautiful natural environment for people to enjoy.

Took the time to highlite and crop. Just a different look. To focus on the family and not the buildings in rear..enjoy

Hi David,
Strong contrast between a bit overexposed houses and the more gray than green vegetation is very interesting. I wasn't sure, if I like it at first, but it gives the picture very fine mood. In any case, composition is definitely perfect. Thanks for sharing the picture and for the tip for Paris trip.

Hi David. Beautiful work. I like how peaceful, serene, and innocent this composition is. But I also love the super-white buildings in the background and how they fill out the shot. Fantastic focus and clarity too. Well seen David!

Hello David.
Jolie compo.
J'aime bien ton cadrage... ces batiments, ce coin de verdure, ce coin d'eau et cette maman avec son bébé....plus on descend dans l'image et plus c'est calme et paisible.
Jolie POV et bon contaste ombre-lumière.
Par contre c'est un peu trop lumineux sur le haut à mon gout.
Joli

bonjour
belle compo en strates horizontales. le dégradé de lumière fonctionne bien, malgré la légère surexpo des bâtiments blancs.
bon we
Pascal

Salut David
Superbe composition et joli cadrage. Par contre du cote technique il y a changer, un p'tit coup de flash aurait éclaire le bas sans surexposer le haut (ce peut être un problème de boîtier?)
Amitiés
Toni

salut David.
comme quoi, un bon coup d'oeil fait une bonne photo.
le pigeon est le petit plus.
une petite retouche peut te permettre d'eclaircir sensiblement cette maman et son petit, effectivement trop dans l'ombre.
j'aime bien ce coté mangrove dans Paris !!
bonne journée
amicalement

Hi David,
une photo pleine de douceur et de tendresse - le pigeon sur la droite semble participer à la conversation -
Bravo et bon dimanche
Merci
Gaby

SAlut DAvid..
I like the composition and the 'blurry'building ging a magical touch to the photo. Bala.

papagolf21 (152607) 2005-06-19 5:13

Bonjour David,
Les remarques techniques faites ci-avant sont pertinentes notamment l'éclairage à l'aide d'un coup de flash ! il n'en demeure pas moins que nous découvrons des endroits de Paris remodelés (je suppose que c'est endroit n'était pas loin des entrepôts de Bercy).
Photo qui ne manque pas d'originalité.
Bien vu, David.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Nice pleasant compo. Thank you for the tip, I will visit that parc in my next trip to Paris (very soon... I can not wait!) I also like very much the workshop.
A bientôt,
Amicalement,
Jorge

Your notes are about the 12th district in Paris, and this is appropriate, for this photo shows not only an intimate scene, it also shows these fine people in their environment. Nice work!

Luan (12971) 2005-06-20 5:26

Hello david,
superbe compo, cette surexpo sur les facades n'est finalement pas genante, j'aime bien cette scene de calme et de paix. On sent bien le lien qui relie les deux personnes.
Bell compo, bien cadree.
Luan

Salut David,
Paris a beaucoup changé depuis que je l'ai quittée!
Merci de me faire connaître le cour Saint Emilion à Bercy (avant on y côtoyait plutôt les crus!).
Je m'associe aux remarques techniques mais aussi à celles assez élogieuses sur la compo et le cadrage.
Bon travail..
Jean-Luc

Hi David,
Such a cute image! I especially love that little bird at the corner.. You made a beautiful composition here. I can sense a very positive energy in this shot..
Very good work, congrulations..
Evren (sorry, green later finished for today..

annagrace (2469) 2005-06-28 15:05

A very nice post, David. I wish the buildings weren't quite so white, but the image of mother and baby is darling. This is a very peaceful and loving scene.
