Ciao Marilyn,magnifica foto! La scelta del pov dell'alto per catturare l'ombra e' stata decisiva,mi ricorda molto una foto che ho fatto di recente a Barcellona con due donne che attraversavano la strada.Spettacolare gestione della luce e alta saturazione come piace a me! Complimenti e buona settimana,Luciano

Bonsoir Marilyn

A fantastic downward pov, presumably taken from a bridge. I love the long shadows from the sidelighting too. Impeccable sharpness & the diagonal axis adds dynamism. Merci pour ce partage et amitiйs!

Ciao Marylin,
splendida, fantastica, magnifica foto!
Il soggetto decentrato e la sua lunga ombra sono decisive per la perfetta riuscita dello scatto, che ha anche nella qualita la sua grande forza. Bravissima.
Un caro abbraccio.
Giorgio

Bonsoir Marilyn
Le point de vue en donne et ici encore la bonne orientation de la lumiиre apporte le bonne touche а cette image avec l'ombre.Le bleu tendre sur la charrette crйe le bon йquilibre de couleurs avec les teintes chaudes du reste de la composition.
Bonne soirйe
Amicalement

Ciao Marilyn
bella questa inquadratura...sembra il punto di vista di un uccello! :) Fantastica idea!
Concordo con Luciano per luce e colori. Li trovo perfetti, proprio come piace a me.

Ciao Marilyn,
bellissima luce e bellissima ombra lunga, ottimo il tuo POV e la resa cromatica, simpatica scena che ci mostra la vita rurale e i mezzi di trasporto nella Cambogia ancora poco industrializzata...
a presto...

La vue de dessus et la lumiиre latйrale crйant cette grande ombre sont du plus bel effet dans cette photo intйressante et belle.

Hello Marilyn A fantastic pov, taken with long shadows from light to the scene . Impeccable sharpness & the diagonal axis adds dynamism and interest! Perfect idea and at a glance.Best regards
Georgios

Salut Marilyn
C'est d'abord l'ombre qui attire le regard, puis on peut dйtailler le cheval, sa carriole et le cocher.
Le pont est un bon POV!
;D

Happy Women's Day and kind regards.

Curieux angle de prise de vue Marilyn,
l'occasion de montrer un jeu d'ombres sous soleil bas.
Dans une grande partie du monde, le cheval et ses confrиres restent les amis inconditionnels de l'homme.
Mes compliments.
Daniel.

Cricri (176) 2012-03-09 23:04

Salut Marilyn
Superbe la prise depuis le pont, cela donne un bel aperзu de tout l'ensemblent et de jolies silhouettes qui ce dessine sur le sol chaud, belle rйalisation
Passe une belle journйe
cricri
PS) je suis contente du grand angle, mais le problиme a chaque fois de changer d'objectif on risque d'avoir des taches sur le capteur, c'est ce qui met arrivйe!!!

P-S-I-G (25536) 2012-03-10 2:00

Salut Marylin,
Trиs bien cadrй : il fallait aussi saisir l'ombre en entier. J'aime comment on peut trиs bien dйtaillй la peau du cheval. Nettetй trиs bonne. Plongйe intйressante.
Amicalement,
Fabrice

well chosen POV to get the best from this shadow play. Nice action shot, Marilyn

Hello Marilyn!
That's a unique, interesting and attractive picture!
Special regards to the chosen pov, management of light, colors and composition!

Hi Marilyn
Creative way to play with light and shadows as the figures just at the right position really adds to the shot as they give a very important perspective. Here the shadows casted by the low warm light leads us. Great high view point, simple image yet dynamic and the warm tone just seemed about right to capture all the textures and detail. It's a beautifully balanced shot, to me what I like most is that lifted left foot and the stride of the horse. You have a real eye for capturing a moment! Very nicely done indeed. Congrats
Best regards

J'apprйcie votre visite Marilyn et je comprend maintenant le besoin de rйclusion du Bossu de Notre-Dame, lа-haut avec les effraies de clocher, pour apprйcier d'un angle si rйvйlateur la fourmilliиre quotidienne!
Seul l'ombrage rйsiste а cette йtude photo et tient а кtre vu de profil!
Amicalement.
Robert

Bonjour Marilyn
Works well your high POV with the shadow prominent & creating much interest in this shot. The diagonal axis looks good. Nice light & fine colours
Best Regards
Angshu

annjackman (23019) 2012-04-17 23:50

Hello Marilyn,
Your superb POV has isolated this horse and cart beautifully with just the road for background. The shadow is most impressive. Super quality and composition.
