Photographer's Note

Shot early in the sunny morning in Cracow. On the Vistula rivers promenade.

Any idea for the title?

I have no idea what kind of title would fit here...maybe: Searching For The Dragon? As I remember there used to live a dragon somewhere in Crocow and sometimes some brave souls tried to take him down...maybe this lone walker is this sort of hero?

Anyway, this is simply wonderful. Excellent compo, the B&W a perfect choice for this shot. The fog in the background works nicely to establish a sort of scary mood for the shot. Well done!

Beautiful shot Piotr. I really like the tonal range and compositionally its perfect. The branches form a natural frame for the man.

Well done!

Exceptionnal light and the vertical composition is also really successful.
The character is placed just at the right place.
The B&W is superb.
Congratulations, Piotr !

Dark scene with great backlighting, the fog gives an ideal backdrop for th silhouettes. Well seen.

Une pluie de branches pour un solitaire sous les arbres. une composition élaborée et pleine de poésie.

A rain of branches for a recluse under the trees a composition elaborate and full with poetry.

Good choice about b&w colour!
Nice overall view. This phot got something that I can not explain... maybe the environment. Great shot Piotr. ;)

"SOLITUDE"

He's wandering aimlessly yet he's heading on to something he is sure about.

Very very good composition and the tone and lighting are professionaly handed.

I think I'd like to call this Misty Morning.
Very nice black and white photo. The mist adds a lot of magic to this peaceful scene. I feel the glare from the sun is a bit harsh though. The inclusion of the man gives it a nice human element touch. Well done.

bfly (5775) 2004-04-07 16:12

all is said already and I can only write my big admiration..very strong picture...
I would call it Dark Sun ...
it has a lot of tension in it and in spite of a sun high up all looks kind of "dark" in the mood..

Clochette (8076) 2004-04-07 18:08

When I saw this pic, I immediately thought to 'Morning walk', which is one of my favourite. Here I find the same mood, the same pleasure of B&W with those 3 elements : Sun, tree and mist.
Another great one, Piotr.

A powerful composition and a perfect maitrise of the light for this superb photograph, the beautiful work.

Na plfoto już widzialem, bardzo mi się podoba.

A lot of good shots Piotr, but the composition of this one is absolutely outstanding to me. Black foreground that gives space and depth to the picture, walking man well positioned, vertical branches and trees showing the path...and finally a sun that balances the whole gives contrast and lighten the background. A great shot. "From dark to light", an amazing shot, very well seen, captured and rendered.

Oustanding picture for the luminosity and composition! B&W just works perfectly. Very nice. Well done!
