Photographer’s Note

After the long absence I was quite puzzled by the thought which photo to post next... and finally I decided to post a sunny summer snapshot :)
It was a hot and extremely sunny day!

On the left: the Royal Palace.
In the background: statue of the King Gustaf (Gustav) III.

Gustav III of Sweden (1746-92) is one of the least studied of the later eighteenth-century rulers known as the "Enlightened Despots".

Info about the shot: ISO-100; Metering Mode: Spot.

Hello Elena,

would like to have these sunny days back in nowadays reality, still cold here in our region..
pretty daily-life-capture with almost fine colors and mood, perhaps i would cropped a little bit of the fine, but empty blue sky, to reach a more square-format here..

wish you a nice weekend, warmest regards Bernd

Hi Elena. Wandering with a camera we discovered this and that everyday motif. Especially when traveling abroad, we consider the new environment attention than usual - we photographed with the camera like a notepad and stick impressions. In this sense, I like your photo very well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

You keep the strong impressions from your travel in Sweden, dear Elena. One more motif with illustrative note. It is nice to have this sun, since by my window there is the different atmosphere. So happy to see you again, friend,

Branko

Hello Elena,
Welcome back with this nice photo from Stockholm with a nice sunny summer mood. It's totally different what we have now, sleet, rain and snow, all in turn. Good natural colours and clarity of details. A good title and note too. TFS!
Warm regards,
Lasse

Elena,
This is a nicely composed shot with the people reading the sign in the foreground and the statue dominating the center of the composition. The light post provides balance for the statue. The lighting and colors are great and the photo has excellent sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Elena,
I was astonished by your long silence. It is well to return to see us. You chose an estival image which heats us a little, even if it does not make yet cold in Montpellier. Pretty framing of these tourists who seem impassioned by their reading. I appreciate the luminosity of the photograph, his colors and his clearness. Good framing which included aspects of the daily life. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

Bonjour Elena
très belle photo qui nous donne du soleil dans nos écrans car dehors ce n'est que nuages gris et neige, bravo.
Amitiés
Jean-Pierre

Hi Elena: This snapshot turned out really nice from the summer sky. Clarity is excellent and tall frame is such a good choice. Fine details and perfectly metered shot. Best regards. Jusni

Hej Elena,
A pleasant view from a much nicer part of the year. A well composed glimpse from a day in the life of a tourist couple, preparing themselves for the sights around them by reading the information-sign. There are enough people to inject life among the dead "elements", but still surprisingly few, considering that this is just about the most touristic part of Stockholm. Maybe it was just too hot.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hi Elena,
A very typical "daily life" scene! Those tourists are spending their time reading this probably very informative note. This is what my wife always does... Myself, I just take a photo of the sign so I can read it later, then I walk around taking a lot of pictures instead!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello my dear Elena

How are you after 3 weeks absence?
What is another fine shot!
Perfect and bold framework/composition and sharp focusing in the detail are excellent as usual! The big proportion of the sky is your intentional message, I suppose. Good sunny summer photo for cold season. Anyway congratulation on your masterpiece!
Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Have a nice weekend !

Hi Elena,
Nice to have you back. I like your daily live scene from Stockholm. It is well framed and full of light. Makes a nice contrast with the dark daylight we have here in Luxemburg. The last time I saw the sun was saturday a week ago!!!
Thank you for answering my note after a couple of weeks of silence, that was nice. Thank you also for making me curious so that I had to look up and read your story in the answers to other members :-). You did well to avoid to write the story an n+1 time and sparing your fingers for pushing the shutter for an other photo.
We have a dog and sometimes two. Cats, unfortunately, are out since one of my sons is allergic to cats.
I wish you a nice and quiet weekend.
John

Hello Elena, I often have the problem, what to post next, I'm always looking for something a little different, I have many what I consider good average fotos but very few good fotos. It looks to like these people are dressed for the Melbourne weather we are now having. Nice relaxed scene, with a beautiful blue sky, all over natural colours & excellent clarity.
Thank you
Regards
Santo

dear Elena,
your shot looks suggesting one joke, that sightseeing people often waste time to read the note about the object more than to see actual object...
anyway, this summer blue sky is nice,
Gustav is walking in the sky above us.
the hot light makes clear but ennui atmosphere,
wonderful memory of the summer square in Stockholm, thank you,
Akihisa

Hej Elena,
