the attendant speaks, a photo from Kobenhavn, Est

Photographer's Note

The attendant is eagerly explaining about the newly acquired paintings by Vilhelm Freddie to a colleague in "civil" who just passed by to catch up with the latest news. A welcome distraction in a long day I guess.
The backlight doesn't show it very cleary but the attendants jacket is red as one of the few color accents in the minimalist interiors along with the lounge chairs in the entrance hall.

Very nice Torben. Very creative framing I love it , another one of your best pictures. In my favs right away. This is an amazing composition.
Is it the original, the way you saw it, or a crop from a larger version..In any case, very good.

Very well composed, the silhoutted figure of a guide is a familiar site in a gallery and you've included just enough for us to understand that. The empty gallery works well for this effect, great shot.

interesting picture, your pictures are very moody, you manage to get interesting shots with your small camera, that's really cool. you are an example, that the camera is not the most important.

This is interesting. Particularly attracted to the man with his opened wide palm.

Wonderful composition Torben. I can almost hear the man talking art stuff.... ;) Great perspective. Very well done.

This is very creative, Torben. I can almost hear the guide's speech while he moves hs hand to describe the painting. Very good light and a very good composition. Well done.

Do they allow taking pictures inside the museum?

Superbe composition !
Un très beau melange de couleur et de forme c'est TRES bien vu.

En enlevant le petit bout de plafond, en haut à gauche, on se raproche de la perfection !

And a fine minimalistic composition from you too Torben. I like the way you crop him and the vague gesture with the hand suits the situation. I like the gap between him and the first painting too. Well done!

The composition is so clean and well balanced. Nice detail that his foot is almost fading into the floor. The small piece of roof in the upper left is making the balance just right I think. You are getting really skillfull in this "style"!!

This is just delightful! Some of your people shots really move me, and this one is classic Torben and a wonderful photo. The half man is perfect for this somewhat empty gallery with the modern art on the wall. Very fun contrasts and emotions here.

strange pictures, interesting....

Delightful composition of a creatively conceived image. No doubt the two bold pieces against the white wall could benefit from the attendant's explanation which he offers with exuberance. You note the color of the attendant's jacket which in fact reads very much like the upper portion of the painting on the left. All very playful! Thank you for sharing this piece with us.
