It's a great pov Daniel. The wide angle distortion produced a striking composition. The exif says you are at 10mm and I believe it. I probably would have pushed ISO a little higher (>400) in order to get sharper results. And if you shoot RAW I am sure you can still get some detail out of that white hat. A good photo but it could have been better. :)

Salut, Daniel.
J'aime bien ce haut POV ici ainsi que l'effet de la distorsion.
Une bonne prise, j'aime beaucoup.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Hola Daniel.

Curioso POV este que nos presentas hoy. Me gusta. Es algo diferente y, por tanto, llamativo.

Un saludín, Oscar
PD: Hoy tengo mi TE-quedada con JosepMarin y Andante.

Good shot Daniel. Perspective is good as we look down on the boy. I also like that effect on the alleyway walls as they come together in the background.

Salut Daniel.
Ces enfants "enfermés" dans ce couloir qui semble se resserrer par la perspective...ca donne un sacré effet !
Ton PDV en plongée amplifie cette sensation, j'adore.
Concernant le cadrage, rien à dire, c'est judicieusement fait.
Sinon pour la profondeur de champs, c'est presque un peu short à mon avis, mais bon, t'as pas eu le choix....
En tous cas c'est du bon, touchant, beau et prenant.
Joli

Salut Daniel, elle est pas mal cette photo, encore une fois prise sous un angle étrange qui produit un effet assez comique ... on a l'impression de p'tits trolls surtout celui de droite, une sorte de passe partout, limite les mains dans les poches et près a te dire "tu veux que je te montre un secret ?".
18mm ? j'aurai presque pensé a du grand angle à voir le résultat. Très belle photo nygusienne
Ce week end on part à prague, j'ai trouvé une offre intéressante, on se remet ça !

The wide angle lens works so well. I love the perspective on the boy's beautiful faces. I like the way the right boy looks to you and the otherone who observes his friend. Nino

Usually I'm not so keen on these extreme wide focal lengths for photographing people, but it works really well here.
I like the expressions you captured, and combined with your inventive framing makes for quite an amusing image. There's a good dynamism too, with the rapidly converging lines of the alleyway.
If you could have strained to get a bit higher, and angled the camera down a bit more, you could have included the whole of the kid's left foot in-frame, but I don't think it matters that much.
You needed to close the exposure down a bit to avoid the burn-out on his white hat though.
I like this - inventive use of a focal length that most of us wouldn't associate with portraiture.
Good work Daniel.

Cheers,
Ben

What else can offer the things to a photographer that a wide angle lens can?
Where is up, where is down, where is top, where is bottom, where is round, where is straight?
I am always going to be amazed by the disssstortions that a 10-20 lens can give. I also like your POV, which shows the kids as dwarves. Oh, wanna have something like that hat as well :)

ps: i am also impressed by the Vodafone ad.

Some people have reservations against wide angle effects. I don't, I think the accentuated diagonals are part of its charm.. and accentuated it is here.
Good light brown colors, watch out for the blown out white areas also I'm not so sure about the focus, which seems on his hat rather than on his eyes (might be the lens, a bit on the soft side).

Nice catch Daniel. Good POV and title. I think the perspective created by the wide angle, combined with your title, really works here. Love the composition, with the expressions of the boys sort of "building" towards the viewer, with the one in the background looking at the boy in the foreground who is than looking at the camera. A nice looking shot.

Good work
John

Hello daniel. One does not go past at this picture. The camera angle is so unusual that one must regard it simply. Very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Salut Daniel,

Ton PDV est super bien vu, ça donne vraiment le caractère à la photo. En plus, le léger flou après le 1er garçon me plaît bien.

Amicalement,
Stéph.
