Photographer’s Note

Breme starosti.
Prelazeci preko mosta video sam staricu koja se vraca kuci posle napornog dana.
Pogrbljena ledja govore o teskom i mukotrpnom zivotu. Ni starost joj nije donela zasluzeni mir.
The burden of age.
Crossing over the bridge I saw the old woman who returns home after a hard day.
Pogrbljena back talking about difficult and painful life. No age has not brought her deserved peace.

Hi Pavle,
an unexpected composition with the poor woman to walk in front of the rich mansion-house.I like the warm afternoon light as clarity of the scene.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

Hi Pavle. An old bridge and an old woman with some luggage on two wheels. In the background a modern house. Again, this is a really subtle Photo. It makes the viewer think. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Ciao dear friend,
Your notes show that you are a sensitive person and respectful of the life of the others. The contrast between this elderly lady and the luxurious villa in the BG makes us think that there is always someone to which life has not given anything.
Ciao, have a nice night!
Paolo

Pavle, this is a fine capture, it has a lot of feeling and tells well the story of the hard life this lady has had. Colors are fine and the shadows are nice and deep which gives it a sort of mysterious feel. Good work.

Greg

ciao Pavle,
immagine molto triste quella che hai colto con prontezza con l'anziana donna che tira un misero carrello china sotto il sole.
Una perfetta composizione.
buona giornata

Hello Pavle,

I write in Dutch language;
Drie mooie elementen in deze foto.
Het kasteel in de achtergrond, de brug leuning achter de oude dame met haar boodschappen klarretje zorgen voor een prachtige samenstelling. bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John

Hi Pavle!
Great art work. Wonderful composition. True of life. Perfect exposure.
Greetings from Warszawa!

jlbrthnn (38775) 2009-10-02 7:34

Hello Pavle,
Your image is poignant. This honest lady saw certainly very modestly, her body is worn by too many years of work. Your photograph is very suggestive and creates a contrast between the sumptuous house and poverty. I like the composition. Good light and clearness. Cheer.
Have a nice day.
Cordially.
Joël

Sad photo with the old lady very bent after what may have been a difficult life. There is a strong contrast between the rich-looking building in the background and the seeming poverty of the old lady. Well composed so the lady has room in front of her.

Hi Pavle,
This is a very nice daily life scene from your part of the world. It seems life has not been kind to the old lady, and maybe she is heading home to her warm and lovely family. I hope so. Thanks
Way

Hi Pavle,

Despite all the laws designed to protect the elderly, they do not have what it takes to enjoy a peaceful old age. Excellent composition.

Zdravo Pajo,

slika ima i jaku temu i bogatu kompoziciju. Sve si bolji i navijam za tebe,

I kod nas lije kisa takodje...
Ova tema je jedna od nainteresantnijih ovde na TE-u pa ti preporucujem da je nastavis a i ja cu poslati par fotki kad kupim nov aparat
Pozdrav,Braca

Ninello52 (3425) 2009-10-03 10:44

Ciao Pavle!
Bello questo spaccato di quotidianetà! La povera vecchina sembra isolata e persa in un ambiente che sembra non appartenergli. La strada è il suo regno e la bella casa sul fondo un sogno mai raggiunto!
Saluti, Nino.

Hi Pavle,
Very moving photo with the hunched over old woman walking across in front of the fine house. Nice detail and color.

Hi Pavle,
Very sad but interesting scene.
You have caught a nice background for that.
Great catch,
M

jafadabret (40217) 2009-10-09 10:49

Bonjour Pavle
Le contraste entre la vielle femme sans ressources et la belle maison est saisissant. Une photo qui fait réfléchir sur l'inégalité.
Amicalement
jacques

axiotea (16235) 2009-10-09 20:23

Hello Pavle
What we can notice at first sight is the contrast between the woman, who seems not to be in the best shape(physically and financially), walking in front of the villa! you had taken this image in a good light and framed well the street scene.
Cheers
Marilyn

fanni (8811) 2009-10-11 2:03

Hello Pavle,
how interesting! in Russian it is the same meaning and almost the same pronunciation: "breme starosti".
In Russia - even in the rich pompous Moscow - I see such old women who are bent by their age and miserable existence).
I think it is an excellent capture in so many ways!
My only remark would be: maybe I would let this woman pass a bit farther ahead... and then take a shot... for a better balance of the composition. But sometimes we hurry to take a shot and we lack the time to wait and aim the camera better!
This photo is a very good "food for thought".
I wish you a nice Sunday!
Warm greetings from sunny cold Moscow,
Elena

Dobar Dan
Colossal report picture. New rich building in background and poor old woman. Then, human justice.
It at us in Poland was can also see such view , unfortunately.
Best Regards
Joseph

Zdravo Pajo.
Velika je razlika izmedju bogatih i siromasnih.
lepa fotografija i lep trenutak.

Urs (3182) 2009-10-23 6:12

Hi Pavle

Good shot of daily life. This old woman certainly never had it easy in her life. Hard work and not a lot of luck, that is difficult, especially when you get older and physically weaker. However she is very brave and keeps on working to get some little money to live. Well seen, framed and executed with high sharpness and vibrant colors. Well done

Cheers Urs

I realized that is a meaningful pic. , also colors and composition combine nicely with the lady crossing the bridge.
