Learning to fly (part II) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Keep on trying. No matter how. And you'll be able to do it someday.

Just let yourself fall in the air. And watch your shadow run on the ground.

THis is a wonderful action shot, Gal. The tilt is very effective and interesting and the timing is perfect. There's too much nois in the sky. I made a WS, but you don't allow.

Hi Gal, very nice shot, I like the tilt very much, the platformsnow look like a fire birgade ladder!
I saw your upload today on TL, I loved that one, very great!
Encouraging note.

Hiya Gal,
I like the idea of making it even harder for her to practice that jump (by tilting the platform)! ;-D
Also, this one may work well in b/w version as well (even with graininess! lol).
Really great shot from whatever the angle!

This is stunning Gal! I LOVE the composition with the platforms at this angle, the cropping tight. The action is wonderful, of course but the bold diagonal lines really make this work for me. I also appreciate the use of grain and your now classic frame. Outstanding work here.

Superbe perspective, ton idée de cadrage est magnifique et originale ça force l'oeil à regarder différemment le cliché. Magnifique travail\jr

Gal, sua série 'piscina' tem sido um presente para meus olhos.
ela tem um 'je ne sais pas quoi' de fascinante, que leva muito, mas muito mais longe a imaginação.
acredito que você tenha encontrado um filão de preciosidades, e estou curiosissima para ver o que segue, para ver você superar sua criatividade incrível.

Really nice photo Gal.
I like the way you took this one. The good lines and the colours are good in the composition. Very good job you did.

kourosh (2368) 2004-07-27 3:53

great shot Gal. i like the tilt and the square frame. maybe a bit oversharpened but overall a very good shot.

papagolf21 (56567) 2004-07-27 4:16

L'angle de prise de vue est parfait, il met en valeur cette figure de plongeon (au demeurant excellente) particulièrement artistique. Que d'entraînement et d'abnégation pour en arriver à ce stade.
Félicitations, Gal pour cette photo très originale.

RGatward (19749) 2004-07-27 4:37

Love the angle, and the timing, in fact the whole idea.

Great idea, rotating and dirgonal placement. Great light - contrast and color in photo to.

J'adore les cadrages en diagonale. Cela donne une dynamique incomparable... mais tout le monde n'apprécie pas cela à sa juste valeur... Pour le bruit ou le grain, j'ai été voir ta réponse à Avigur, mais il me reste néanmoins une question : je pense que tu ne l'as ajouté que sur l'arrière plan ou je me trompe ?
Excellent travail en tout cas.

jhm (83093) 2004-07-27 7:12

This is a wonderful action shot, Gal, just moment for makes of this image. Good seen!

madska (0) 2004-07-27 9:18

superbe image tres graphique, cadrage impécable, excellente netteté. Le grain rajoute meme quelque chose... du tres bon travail, tres dynamique

pridel (233) 2004-07-27 9:37

superbe ! autant j'aimais beaucoup la précédente autant celle-ci je l'adore. La composition inclinée et le grain donné donnent à cette photo un cachet terrible ! Félicitations

Hanssie (9133) 2004-07-27 13:28

A very fine and artistic point of view chosen in your shot, Gal

cmartos (6086) 2004-07-27 14:24

Format presque carré et inclinaison à 45° fonctionnent parfaitement! C'est très bon en tout. Composition, cadrage, couleurs, attitudes et positions des deux filles. Seul le grain ne me semble pas indispensable sur celle-ci. Toutefois il n'entache en rien la très haute qualité de l'ensemble. Du très haut niveau :-). J'aime énormément. Encore!

elihesamian (26091) 2004-07-27 14:53

What did you do?!!GREAT work you did ,Gal!
what a nice series you posted ,well done!
It's a nice dynamic shot,an artistic & sportish(!) POV & angle you choosed here which I like alot.
And hunting a moment by you in an great way did,very nice ,Gal1
Congratulation!

chinchini (27725) 2004-07-27 14:57

J'ai presque envie de redresser l'image pour voir la position réelle de la plongeuse. Mais bon, l'oeuvre est plaisante et la fille agréable à regarder. En revanche, le juge en haut est ainsi en vilaine posture.

timotey (1926) 2004-07-28 2:51

Astonishing shot !
The choice of this angle is so well choosen to get the dynamic of this diving woman in action. It's really nice and well composed.

ChrisJ (70373) 2004-07-28 3:11

Great composition & decisive moment. The grain actually enhances the image here.

RAP (1053) 2004-07-28 14:43

Bella captura Gal.
Excelente perspectiva, encuadre y PP.
Momento y exposicion justos para ver el detalle de la nadadora.
Gran trabajo!

Beautiful capture Gal.
Excellent perspective, frame and PP. Exact moment and exposure to see the detail of the swimmer.
Great job!

joseelias (367) 2004-07-29 8:30

Foto fabulosa. Existe uma tensão enorme nesta composição pela utilização de elementos "contraditórios". Normalmente as fotos de desporto têm cores vivas e grande nitidez. Nesta ao ser aplicado o contrário (grão, pouca luz) cria um efeito único.

E a razão porque se encaixam tão bem tem a ver com o aspecto industrial das pranchas que combina com o aspecto "menos desportivo" no tratamento da imagem.

A rotação e a posição das atletas é muito boa. Favorita!

jhonny_blue (4954) 2004-08-12 5:51

Very good angle and composition !
Fantastic colours and grain.
Congratulations

jiekuan (330) 2006-07-23 0:49

Gal,

You have the eyes. I have seen a lot of diving picture, but this one comes with best POV and composition.

Nice job!
