Hello Andrew,

It struck me what a very multi-cultural country G.B. is now. The month of Olympic and Paralympic Games has done much to signify this.
The figures in your shot are very interesting because of their dress, their attitudes and their activities. I just love how you have taken this shot without any of them being aware of you or your camera. I find this type of shot extremely difficult to achieve - always worried that someone may be offended.
The composition is excellent, very nicely offset and with the converging lines drawing the viewers towards the focal images. There is a fine sense of perspective in this sharply exposed shot.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Andrew,

An interestingnote you have written about the immigrant population in Australia and this is a fine photograph with which to illustrate it.

Your photograph also is a classic demonstration of how a long telephoto lens "foreshortens" perspective, something which we can see on television every weekend if we watch Grand Prix motor racing - racing cars doing around 200 m.p.h. seen full-on by the television cameras with their long lenses appear to be hardly moving at all! Here the older couple are seen in exquisite detail and sharpness, the younger couple, perhaps 20 or 30 feet behind them less sharp and the distant building much less so.

From the aesthetic point of view I like this one too - the two couples are well portrayed against a plain grey background but the oblique supports on the left and their subsequent shadows add interest as well as adding to the whole perspective effect.

Lovely colours, perfect exposure and exquisite sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Andrew,
I never looked at Flinders Station that way but I find this way to present it is probaly the best you can do. Cool compo - so graphical and so human.

Hi Andrew,

Interesting example of multi-cultural Australia. I think it is more evident in Melbourne than any other city (even Sydney). It is good to see these cultures living together in this great city, and we benefit from the diverse food, festivals and perspectives that they bring. The iconic glimpse of the station in the background gives away the location. I like the horizontal bars and the play of light they provide.

Andrea.
Una scena di vita quotidiana e i ritratti in un contesto di splendido grafismo.
Luce ed ombre e tutto in perfetto ordine espressivo.
Un bel lavoro ricco di grigi e di colore.

Hello Andrew!
this scene impresses me, first of all, with these diagonal lines all around the people and the bright - almost luminescent - red and green colours... it seems as if this is a scene from a fantastic movie (at least, I have this impression!).
but of course, the distant blurred - quite earthly - building (which you mentioned the Note) proves that this is reality :)
Very interesting composition... I got one little idea: I might suggest cropping a bit of the left side...

warmest greetings from rainy Moscow,
Elena
