Birdman

Sharing his snack with the sparrows before going home by train. The interaction between the three people and the birds makes this photo for me more then just an image.

I like the composition very much with the exchange between the man and the birds. His position is slightly back as is the girl position toward the scene.

Heel knap moment. Goed geklikt!

Hotrats Dank je wel Sieger,
ik heb je site bekeken en je maakt echt heel fraaie foto's, we gaan er hier nog wel meer van je zien (al is het publiceren best moeilijk).
grtz, Nico

Sieger Joostens Oh dat is zeer leuk te horen dat je bent gaan kijken! Ik hoop dat ze inderdaad nog werk toelaten van me... En indien dat niet zo is kan er uit geleerd worden! Geven ze feedback bij het weigeren?
Groetjes

Alex O'Brien 3 years ago

fantastic photo! I don't think a photo has ever touched me more than this one. One little criticism. The subject doesn't jump out on you immediately. You might want to add a very slight vignette.

Hotrats Thank you Brian, I did not dare to use a little vignette, because I was afraid it's gonna be rejected for using that.
The first one in color I did use vignette, I think you are right

Dune 3 years ago

I knew you could do it ;)
Great shot. I'm sure it's not the last one we'll see of you.

Hotrats Thank you Dune, a pitty your "under the bridge" photo did not make it, I voted for it.
grtz, Nico

Dune Yeah well, that's life. I now know at least that i'm no natural talent when it comes to streetshot :D
Thanks for the vote though.

(sorry for the late reply, haven't been here for a while)

Larz 3 years ago

Well done Nico!
Must say: Black & White was the key!
The focus is now much more on the subject you want to see, the persons.
Mainly because the yellow train isn't distracting anymore.
Congrats!

Pffff..... hoop dat je wijs wordt uit dit steenkolen-engels :)

Hotrats Even if we don't learn how to take photo's on this site, we do learn to write in English :-)
