In the Brussels subway, a day like another.

Dans le métro bruxellois, un jour parmi d'autres.

A nice weekend to all!

Are you trying to seduce your Orpheus dear Michele, to follow you down there - into the abyss of the underground, eternal inferno ? ( actually - HELL is a much better fitting world !).

Yet another one of your subway captivating scenes and - it's a good as it can gets...
Great stuff, gal... From corner to corner to corner...

Bonjour Michèle
Il y a des métros où les gens semblent avoir davantage de tendresse et de complicité à échanger. Les lieux de passage seraient presque des lieux où exister, presque.
La lumière n'est pas "à la lumière", mais dans les regards.

Bonjour Michèle,

Voilà une photo que je qualifie d'humaniste, parce qu'elle va au-delà du simple constat, elle propose une analyse, pour qui veut bien lire entre les pixels. Elle suppose un "courage photographique" que j'admire d'autant plus que c'est une corde qui manque à mon arc. Une photo réflexive.
Bien à Toi.
Guy.

Une très bonne scène du métro.
Tu visais certainement les amoureux mais je trouve que toutes les personnes se sont bien alignées dans le cadre, et cela fait un beau tableau souterrain, avec une excellente géométrie et répartition dans l'espace.
Amitiés, Grazyna.

Andre

Brava dolce Michèle, perchè le tue immagini sono sempre piacevolmente vive e reali. Tu fotografi bene la vita e le persone di tutti i giorni, quelle che spesso ci stanno vicino e che noi ignoramo. Questa immagine è bellissima, grazie!
Ciao, buona domenica!

Hi Michele
A good slice of life shot on the subway. I can't make up my mind about the guy on the far left.

Hello Michele. A skillfully realized photo…. expression-strongly and worth seeing. Regards, Wolfgang.

Most certainly not your everyday image!! It's splendid...the man in the foreground leads your eye to teh couple and then beyond to the lone woman on the right. Very nicely composed image

tomescuc (2837) 2009-02-22 22:04

Looking at all the comments so far, I agree with NinaL - everything falls into place here, really well balanced, the face in the left foreground reminds me of some James Dean character, the secretive couple, the lady doing I don't know what. Une scene cotidienne, mais parfaitement prise.
have a nice week,
Cristian

Ciao Michèle.
A me manca molto questa capacità: quella di guardare la quotidianità e rappresentarla significativamente.
Fotograficamente è un livello in più... non è che vuoi diventare come Robert Doisneau nel «Baiser de l'Hôtel de Ville», passando per Polonaise? :-)))
Vieni al meeting a Venezia, ti aspettiamo a braccia aperte!

Ciao Michèle,
io amo le foto fatte nei metro, ma è davvero arduo passare inosservati :)
A Valencia in metro ero circondata da 'fuoco nemico' (4 fotografi nel mio scompartimento :D)
Tu hai colto due momenti molto intimi e delicati. Scatto veramente meraviglioso!
Bravissima, complimenti.
Anna

Hi Michele,

I like the out of focus couple in the left. They look out of place with the focused people, sort of ghosts, especially the woman.

I like this - you've caught two instances of intimacy on the metro, and what I also like is the way the handrail separates the lone woman from the intimacy in the rest of the image.
Good work Michele.

Cheers,
Ben
