I like this very much, Philippe. For me, however, the figure in the right foreground is just a little too strong and slightly diverts the attention from the subject in the white jacket. I realize, of course, that the photographer has little control over the moment! The feeling of hustle and bustle on a busy city street is perfect and I love the colors. I also like the way the photo opens up to the sky - wonderful touch. Best, Jon

Thank you for the thoughtful comment, Jon. As you can guess, this was shot randomly in the street, so it's full of imperfections. I thought this one was relatively balanced. Many others are just good for the trash.

:o)

... not to mention Vernon: 155 features! Does anyone have a better score?

Merci, Eric. Je sais qu'on n'est pas dans une compétition (ce n'est pas mon état d'esprit), mais ça fait toujours plaisir de voir que certaines personnes apprécient ton travail...

A mes yeux, ton talent est indéniable et j'attends avec plaisir tes posts (comme ceux de Vernon d'ailleurs)
Merci et à bientôt.

Very nice effect used here.
Jan

No effect. Just blinds and rain.

Did she know at all... :~)))

No, she didn't. Actually, I wasn't sure I should show this. Homeless people are ashamed of their situation and I can understand they don't want their picture taken...

So calm, so ... sleepy.
Have you tried a contrast enhanced B&W version of this portrait?
Jan

Thanks for your comments, Jan. No, but I thought about it.

Great moment. Very nice freeze and color combination.
Jan

Thanks, Kevin. For me, it would be too symetrical without the fence.

I agree with philippe. Gloriously rich colours.

I hope these colors reflect the "Americana" touch I'm trying to share...

Vraiment superbe Philippe,- j'adorre le côté graphique et un peu inquiétant de cet univers...
Stranger than Paradise, hmmm !

Merci, Jean-Marc! Jarmuch, ça me convient!

:o)

wonderful picture of the road, almost like a satelite picture. where is it by the way?

Los Angeles!

Can you imagine how many wrong turns tourists make when confronted by this array of roads? It makes an interesting photo, though.

Actually, the indications are clear and it's not so difficult in the end. It can become a problem, though, if you miss an exit, especially in heavy traffic...

:o)

Une bien étrange fourmilière à vrai dire..!
Here the theme should be "crazy roads"...
Heureusement, il y a de plus belles routes aux Etats-Unis :))

Beautiful light, adequate for the topic. Greetings.

Merci, Eric.

Very impressionant, and at the same time so unhappy…

Merci pour tes commentaires, Eric.

impressive but not very beautiful subject. you did a good job!

Looks like a delicious feast...

It was. A japanese meal prepared by my lovely wife yesterday night.

That looks awesome!

;D

Aahh, to be so lucky! I had a husband once, a great cook, chef quality; I miss him... ;D
