[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
... a lot of time out errors uploading today. I wonder why ...

Le P'tit Quinquin, is a monument to a lullaby and to the man who wrote it.
In 1853, Alexandre Desrousseaux (1820 - 1892) composed "Le P'tit Quinquin", telling the story of a poor lacemaker of the Saint Saveur quarter.
The art nouveau sculture expresses the love, courage and tenderness of the women of Lille.

For that reason, my photograph is an hommage to the women of Lille that I could find anywhere near the statue. I don not know about their love and tenderness, but I surely appreciate their courage to stand there for me.
Most of these women had a bachelor's party of one of their friends. Yeah, you'll never guess who is the lucky one to get married ;-). Bravo pour la courage de vous!!


In Workshop 1 you will find a more normal version of the sculpture. Just to give you an idea what it really looks like if all those loving, tender, courageous women are not there.



Tip of the day: You make better pictures if you turn on the camera, or remove the lense cap... (Workshop 2) :-)))


I'll get back to your version later. Dinner is waiting for me! ;-)

Hello Dennis,

Pas mal cette image très peuplée du petit Quinquin !
Tu as brisé les régles avec cette foule autour de cette statue.
Bravo ! Une très bonne idée !
Heureux de t'avoir rencontré !

A+

Dominique

Hi Dennis,
Another tip : it is also better to buy a big camera when you just try to hide yourself behind it ;-)
see what I mean here I will think about it.
About your shot, congratulations for your idea! Your picture is very original, full of joy, like our week-end was.
Cheers,
Marianne

hi Dennis,
I counted 27 different photos of this monument before it got boring ;) and the reason I decided to comment on this particular version is obvious - the pink hair and overwhelming feeling of "girls are just having fun" :) unusual way to show an artwork, but it works very well, and I'm sure the sculpture itself would agree with such an interpretation of love, courage and tenderness :)

regards,
Kristine

Hi Dennis!
But what a talent!!!
Under your airs of big shy, not speaking about our language, you knew how to be understood (I do not dare to imagine how) of all these girls...
Which job... Beautiful performance!!
Karine

Hi Dennis, This version of the statue just put a smile on my face, you have captured a great moment, wonderful light & colours, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

hehehehehe! Well I knew it was coming but didn't imagine quite how amazingly good and how much fun it would be! Excellent! Can't stop chuckling - it's a great 'monument' to you getting out there and going for it - there's no looking back now - ever - this is your calling card to the street and your passport to future masterpieces of the social organisation of subjects!

Did you mishear the task - petit Can Can?

best wishes Kev

Hello Dennis. TE-Meeting? A strong picture. Really very skillfully. It is a pleasure to regard this beautiful photo. Sometimes the coincidence leads to the most beautiful pictures. Best regards, Wolfgang.

hi Dennis,
hehe, on the restaurant we already saw this winner, I was proud to seat near him :)
congrats for this easy shot :D
didier

Hallo, Dennis. Je hebt hier een mooi kleurencontrast met al die jonge dames rond het beeld. Hun armen omhoog en de glimlach op hun gezicht maken het beeld zeer levendig. Heb je iedereen €1 moeten geven om op de foto te staan? Dan kost die heel duur ;o), maar het resultaat is de moeite waard.
Blij met jou kennis te hebben gemaakt.
Een prettige nacht verder,
Philippe

Hi Dennis,
very interesting sculpture, and especially surroundings... ;o) Nice, very expressive and colourful scene. I like it.
Best regards,
Andrzej

hi dennis,
now this is what i call a "good time" ... looks like you're very apt at handling people gatherings :) - i wonder what did you tell all those ladies? (and do they know they are already famous? ... still i'm sure they'll all love this photo, just as we do)
and it is also the loveliest approach of the cold stone monument and a sight just a skilled and people loving photographer could bring back to us!
so thanks,
dora :)
