New Born, a photo from Gelderland, Nord

Photographer's Note

today i was a weak sucker for this yellow-fellow...
Took this photo yesterday during a visit of a projectground in development... it's gonna be a beautiful park someday but first there's gonna be a parking-place for the workers...

Today they've covered this brave little soldier with asphalt and i think it's already dry...

well seen. good use of DOF and i think the cropping is effective here. but i wish the focus was sharper.

this is a very sweet image Jorrit. Sad, too but maybe this little flower will emerge in some form in the part-to-be. I like the partial blurriness, great cropping and frame.

erthmuffin (1551) 2004-08-02 12:52

very nice depth of field and framing.

Love the postbox cropping. It makes the little fellow look, as you said,...... brave.

Hi Jorrit, very delicate picture, good DoF, it's all so clear, the sand , and the other small plants. I love it, good frame too,

Nice DOF you got here Jorrit - your cropping and framing gives a special look and atmosphere - I like it even its simple - thanks for sharing.

Wow...real cool perspective Jorrit! Wonderful how your angle and the panoramic view increases the idea you tried to give...Great job :)

Great use of depth of field to isolate the subject. This is not a 'typical' Leica shot and I am impressed that you got so close to the ground to focus the camera. The postbox format also emphasises the isolated nature of the flower.

Only slight - very tiny, minor - issue is that the black border to the left is slightly wider than the right. But that would really be picking at an excellent picture. Also, the picture could be rotated slightly clockwise to bring the in-focus portion to the level and reduce the white lump in the foreground, though not too much that the plant leans to the right.

Oh!! Really delicate, what a beauty. REally interesting approach, you really got a fantastic caption here.

CoolDan (2516) 2004-08-11 20:52

Quelle jolie composition Jorrit. Le regard porte automatiquement sur la fleur. Bonne profondeur de champs. Nice shot.

Deke (708) 2004-08-13 5:07

Terrific presentation and when matched with the notes it's as if the flower is defiant with the asphalt closing in from top and bottom. Funny, we don't think much about what happens but your image asks the question is this flower not important?

Very very nice artistic photo Jorrit! I really love the frame, the colours and the contrast with the blurred side.
Congratulations!

Hey Jorrit,
it's very strange to see a shot like this from you, you are really getting soft! ;-D
I'm joking this is a beautiful image with a sweet note, but not too sweet!
