This was also taken on Sunday, been feeling under the weather so I haven't been out to shoot in a few days.. I hope I feel better tomorrow so I can go out and shoot a little.
I really like this pic. I like how it forces the eye exactly where you, the photographer, demand that it go.
But if you wanted to do a silly version, you should totally photoshop the head of the creature from Alien in the dude's pocket he's holding open. Or maybe a picture of a gallbladder.
Love it, smooth tones and lovely textures, kid is adorable, and sort of in line with Sharona's train of thought, I offer this Caravaggio painting... http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l140/gardevias/Art/IncredulitdisanTommaso.jpg
Gerry, I think I was too tired last night to fully express, but I have my vocabulary wits about me now: You've got a vanishing point, what with the shape of the crowd and also up between the buildings, where I want to drift at first glance. But your depth of field wrenches me back to that darling face staring right at the soul. (Of course, then I pop over to Jesus in a Windbreaker, but just for a moment, then back to that face.) Great job again. Question: did you produce as much black and white before moving to London?

Nice image. Gives me that feeling of strolling along with the crowd. The little girls face makes it though.
ReplyDelete@ Michael: thanks for the laugh. You definitely elevated my initial concept.

ReplyDeleteThanks all for the wonderful comments I like how you feed each off each other.
ReplyDeleteBefore London I did very little black and white. I feel that street photography is grimy and for me it needs to be in Black and White.
"Jesus in a Windbreaker" - love it! :-)
