The world is mine Photo

Photographer’s Note

One more shot from this place: le Palais Royal and 'les colonnes de Buren'.

I wish I could take this with slower speed to emphasize her movement and a little bit of her face, but ...

Hope you like it. Thanks for your comments.
Al.

Al bravo c'est plus que splendide, c'est parfait - l'enfant saisie au vol est remarquable - dans mes favoris -
Bonne journée et merci
Gaby

A nouveau une très belle, c'est très réussi la façon dont elle s'équilibrait au moment ou tu as shooté, comme si elle partait pour un saut vertigineux.

dada (1135) 2005-11-03 3:45

yes!

love everything in this picture: the contrast between the sober building and the playful child, between the perfect alignement of the classic arhitecture and the street-stones and the free mouvement of the child (like the girl doesn't take too serious any rule)

somehow she sais that every rule is made to be defited:)

it's the freedom of the innocence... and yes, the title is very good:)

Bonjour Al, très belle image, saisie au vol (au sens strict et figuré). J'aime aussi la tonalité qui s'apprête bien à l'atmosphère intemporelle et aux rayures des socles. Bravo.

Bonne compisition..
La petite fille donne beaucoup de dynamisme a ta photo et cette succession de plot donne un côté trps graphique à la compoisition
Choix du noir et blanc judicieux
Bravo

I agree with your musings..a slower shutter speed would have made a great motion blur for sure..but since it was handheld then it probably wouldnt have really worked out well.

The graphism created by those lines (verticals and diagonals) is great and its a very nice b/w. But speaking of the graphism, the strong angles are also seen in her arms and also create a sense of graphism. Overall its a well shot decisive moment that follows in the tradition of HCB.

Hello Al,
au bon moment, mais vraiment le timing parfait, le moment ou le corps est entre le ciel et la terre, une sensation de levitation, de liberte ou seul dans une photo nous pouvons ressentir. J'adore, l'environnement se prete superbement au jeu, joli et graphiqe.
Superbe
Luan

Child on the run. Absolutely free and quite innocent. Great idea and superb composition.

designsoul (21394) 2005-11-03 7:46

Hello Al,
This is my very favourite of them all. Fantastic capture, a poem, really... filled with a sense of carefree play. Astonishing tonal range.
Bravo!

Hello Al
tres belle compo, le mouvement est bien marqué, mais tout en legerete ... c'est aerien comme un jeu d'enfants ... bien vu le n&b
Amities, hugues

coco (28012) 2005-11-03 10:47

Hi Al.
This one is great. Simply great. The moment, the focus, also what is not focused, the black and white, the composition,... great.
And about the movement of the kid I like too. Why? Because then the photo has a very nice kind of feeling (sorry for my english). Is like the time would be stopped while the kid is playing. A nice memory of the childhood for everyone of us.
Thanks for share.

note: even I like the man (or woman) at the end of the photo

Bonjour Al,
Très beau cadrage sur ce cliché. Je trouve l'instant magique et je trouve que l'enfant est bien pris. C'est une photo forte car intemporelle. Bravo
Xavier

dolin (15647) 2005-11-03 15:56

Salut Al.
Comment ne pas aimer....c'est parfaitement cadré, un chouette jeu de lignes avec ces "plots", une excellent pdc, un mouvement capturé à la perfection avec un excellent timing et un flou qui dynamise la compo, un beau n/b teinté, et ces plots blancs et noirs qui donnent du contraste et de lp'effet....SUPERBE.
Bien joué
Fred

oochappan (22032) 2005-11-03 17:35

A good action shot, Al, of this jumping little girl well placed at the side with a great depht feeling seeing that man on the other side of the frame, good eye-travelling here.

alimo3 (6826) 2005-11-03 18:49

greg64g (11193) 2005-11-04 3:26

Salut Al

Magnifique mouvement, le graphisme est vraiment tres sympa et on sent du dynamisme dans ce cliche, le noir & blanc est tres beau pour ce genre d'endroit.
amicalement

gbarto (1273) 2005-11-04 5:00

Toute ta gallerie est splendide, des photos pleines de force et de mouvement.
La lumière toujours bien contrôlée mais c'est surtout la composition qui est puissante dans tes images : un style Alsom
Bravo
Pour celle là tout a été dit par les autres admirateurs ;-)

All your gallery is splendid, full of shots with force and movement.
The light controlled always well but it is especially the composition which is powerful in your images: a style Alsom Bravo
For this one there all was said by the other admirors ;-)
PS : I beg your pardon for my english !

pranab (5354) 2005-11-05 3:06

excellent

rodalvas (629) 2005-11-05 15:46

Bien vu et interprété! Le N&B va très bien à cette photo.
A+

KevRyan (22418) 2005-11-05 19:12

A nice moment - you caught her movement well and did well to isolate her enough from the background too - such a good image of childhood that goes so brilliantly with your title.

Great shot Al!

best wishes Kev

everlasting (10938) 2005-11-06 18:25

Great timing Al, both feet in the air, and your title expresses the freedom of childhood wonderfully. Not a care in the world as she flys.
Nice tones and well composed.

srabbe (1424) 2005-11-08 3:46

Very nice image, Al.
All the magic of childness is captured here, a bit of nostalgy is felt thanks to B&W.
I would have cropped a bit on the fight in order to remove the person, I think it would have been better with only the child

sandip (3492) 2005-11-10 10:50

another good stuff.. i am really getting fascinated by your composition here.. one by one.. u got the geometrical pattern to manage within your frame diagnally while got the boy in perfect mood .. another super shot from your gallery.

ballyna (1689) 2006-02-03 4:48

alain,
I think this is very beautiful this way,if your wish come true then it is another compo and I am not sure better or not,one must see.so pretty with this tonal range,the repetition of the colonnes well decorates the compo.
regards
