The conversation, a photo from California, Ouest

Photographer's Note

I was caught by the old-fashioned hydrant and the shadow of the old stoplight. It seemed like they were talking to each other. "How do you do?"

WOW. WHAT A PICTURE.
Very very well seen this scene. This kind of pictures makes the difference between amateur and pro.
Congratulations.

Not counting the dark half-hidden hooded head reflecting in the window above, on the other side of the street, which seems to eavesdrop this inaudible conversation to human ears... Did you capture by inadvertency the first steps of the revolt of the machines, led by a supervillain who escaped from the 2D pages of a comic book? ;-)
Reticent to electronic manipulation and artificial color desaturation, I find however that the final result works well. And, utter coincidence, I just wrote a comment on your previous picture of a field in the morning! Since I chose not to display the names and marks when perusing the thumbnail gallery, your dynamic composition immediately caught my eyes!
As I wrote only a few minutes ago, keep on looking...

Interesting gaphic image. The title caught my eye, thinking it was some reference to Copola, anyway, added to theme.

When a hydrant and a stoplight meet, what do they talk about ? Who can guess ? You caught a very precious and decisive instant. Great sense of imagination. Well done.

I really inventive composition with a shadow interacting with an object. The kind of photo you just see and that people who aren't into photography miss. Congrats Cosa!

EXCELLENT !! c'est exactement celà que doit fonctionner (IMO) une photographie, c'est quand elle raconte une histoire. ici la composition sert ce dialogue entre les deux protagonistes en divisant en deux les zones claires et sombres.
La borne d'incendie et le feu tricolore ont visiblement beaucoup de choses à se dire.
toutes mes félicitations

sorry pts tmrw

Hi Cosa,
beautiful photo!
Very good B&W, only a problem with contrast:
smaller contrast would have benefited (the background is too dark and the wall too white).
Bye!
