Hi Merline,
I like very much this shot, I found it looking at the gallery, it was sitting on the side of my last post, which is... a lady portrait on glass windows! So I found the coincidence very nice, and your lady is gorgeous... is it a real or a mannequin?
I also like you "Inno" shot!

My compliments
Best regards
Marica

artificial blond beauty among the gray walls and wires, love this contrast. she obviously does not belong here, she has never tried to get to the office in time during the rush hour, and she has never had to argue with the landlord about the sorting of garbage.

I've always liked the photos with several layers of reflections, they're as complex as the life in the city itself, and you never know if the layer you've just revealed is the ultimate truth or just another level of fiction. moody photo, I like it a lot.

with best regards,
Kristine

Hello Michele. We see the things and features with our eyes, but only the camera conserves the seeing durably. In the photo we recognize the Surreale. Yours b&w photo pleases me very well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello MichEle,
A capture of the Face of Brussels. I like the reflections as they are, they do not bother me in the least as they add the feel of the fast pace of city life. Perfect contrast!
Well taken and thought up image...

Hi Michele, another master piece on your profile, I am glad that you did not succeed in taking away the reflections you were trying to take away as it works really well here, the street reflections on the shop glass work really really well with that manequin inside the shop which contrasts very well too with the outside buildings by being dressed like a sophisticated city sleeker, well done for this shot and merry christmas, Joao Salas

Hej Michèle,
This is truly total different from your previous rough b/w photos. But the motive, a soft woman, requiers this smooth approach. Its really a good one here!
Hälsningar

Hi Michele:

An interesting photo with a phantasmagoric effect with the presence of the reflexes of the manikin with these glasses that gives him a touch of important seriousness. It is very well caught and he is fine the color B/W very much to your composition.

Congratulations friend.

Best regards.

Ciao dolce Michele,
bellissima immagine di trasparenze effettuata intelligentemente in B&W. Un effetto veramente strano, piacevole ed unico. Mi piacerebbe molto saper fare i B&W come li sai fare tu!!! Brava.
Buona notte, a domani

Salut Michèle,
nice capture in capture with a mirror from a shopping window. The puppet looks interesting in the buildings and black&white makes it stronger I think.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

"Shopping in town"... Toi oui, mais elle ? Envitrinée pour l'éternité... Elle aussi peut-être, aimerait-elle regarder au travers du verre, faire quelques emplettes... trois fois rien...
Mais non elle est figée, ses rêves bien cloisonnés dans sa tête en plastique...
Alors la prendre en photo je trouve, est une chose fort cruelle...

Hi Michele,
I have a similar image in my gallery in color...I like this kind of shots.For me it is great experiment in photography...walking around the city and try to find the "subject" behind the glass.
The black and white works well giving much to the sense of a dreamy image.I find your shot very successful!

Warm Regards,
Thomas

Hola Michele,
Has creado una imagen surreal e inquietante muy sugerente. Parece como si la mujer fuese a volatilizarse en cualquier momento. Buena elección del blanco y negro.
Saludos,
Mirari.

Michele,
outstanding shot with the reflection of that high fashion looking lady rushing by, but still not fast enough to be caught by your fast eye and camera.
Great shot!
Cheers, Peter

Hello Michele

This kind of "shopping" it`s better.:-D.What a glamourous model you had :-D

Reflections of the city buildings in shopping/stores windows are looking always so good(of course depends on the framing you choose),but you did it very fine.
And almost everytime works better in black and white.

Thanks for the tips ;-)...discovering good shots in your gallery in this way.

My kind regards and have a pleasent weekend.

BTW...I`m not your favourite anymore?...:-(((((((((....just kidding...hope you don`t mind ;-)...I`m just teasing you :-P

Hi Merline,
I love the way you capture common day-to-day sights and turn them into works of art. This is another great shot and I absolutely love the contrast you have created... which comes out more dramatically by the use of b/w. Great work. keep it up! Thanks for sharing. Mona.
