Passing by



Thank you for all of your great comments and feedback on my latest shots, I really appreciate all of your support. I know I´ve been a bad 365er lately but I´ll try to be more active and put some discipline into my project.
I am enamored by shots like this. Shots that really don't need any words with them. Although your lyrics add emotion, the story is told before one reads the words. Great job. A pic I would be proud to have taken. FAV so I can see if I can replicate it sometime.

@dlaxton Thank you so much Dave for such a amazing comment and for the fav, I´m really speechless here, all I can say is thank you very much!
November 3rd, 2013  
Fabulous capture. Wonderful atmosphere. I agree with Dave, it's a picture that needs no description!
November 3rd, 2013  
Really good night shot, very atmospheric.
November 3rd, 2013  
rain adds so much atmosphere to the shot... cool story! Is this staged shot ?
November 3rd, 2013  
@janim Very much staged, I have even less patience to wait for anything to happen than you do ;-) This is not the story I shot but just something that came to mind when I looked at this pic, I always try to find songs to go withmy pics even thou I don´t always tell here what I´m thinking...Anyway I have to reshoot this, I want to have black background and maybe just a lamp post giving light....

Great atmospheric shot, and great words, fav.

Nice atmospheric shot. The words are very fitting for the image.
November 3rd, 2013  
I love this image, the story of a missed opportunity. 2 lives crossing unknowingly.
November 3rd, 2013  
Hey Suse! I accept your challenge and will do my best to interpret a good dramatic shot in black and white :) You have a beautiful collection of images and I can see a lot of passion through them! I'd like to challenge you to capture the rainbow through your images this week. Not necessarily an actaul rainbow, but get creative and try to create images that incorporate all (or at least most) of the colors of the rainbow (a basic rainbow, nothing to extravagant :)) what do you think?
November 3rd, 2013  
intriguing. I like how the heads are hidden behind the umbrellas.
November 3rd, 2013  
Love this - fantastic composition
November 3rd, 2013  
Very expressive photo!

@jav0930 Thank you Jacki for the challenge, I will try to do this, colours are not my strongest point but I´ll try.

Fav! Wonderful story telling in this shot! Very creative and perfectly executed!

What a great narrative shot. Wonderfully creative!
November 4th, 2013  
Very creative and emotional, Suse. Very well processed as well.

Even though this one doesn't lack anything, I'm looking forward to your "redo"...sometimes we need to look back at our older stuff and apply new ideas and inspirations...
November 4th, 2013  
Love this....fav! It tells a story so beautifully.
November 4th, 2013  
Lovely photo + sad poem
November 4th, 2013  
fantastic capture! amazing lighting,composition and toning! and emotional words too! fav!
November 4th, 2013  
Going to jump on the fav bandwagon here, but a great atmospheric image

You must have had them pose . . . right? It's so perfect. Every detail, from the colors they are wearing to the angle of the walk to the directions they are facing.
November 4th, 2013  
@jyokota Thank you so much Junko, yes you're right this is staged and they did pose, I hope you don't think it looks too staged.
November 4th, 2013  
@susale -- staging is a sign of creative thinking! I do think the perfect synchronization might have given it away . . . but her booties are so perfectly reflected I wouldn't want to change that at all. Maybe he could have taken what would look like a larger stride? But all in all, it really is well done, and fabulously conceptualized! I am not creative in thinking this way, so it's easier critiquing; I can't imagine myself being able to imagine it or orchestrate this at all.
November 4th, 2013  
@jyokota Thank you so much for your elaborate comment. Yes, true he could have taken a larger stride, yeah I think that would have been beter. I didn't have to guide her so much but him I almost had to guide in every respect. I love doing these story telling staged shots, if I had enough models to work with, that would be all I would do! I'm not completely happy with this one thou, like the story telling pics I did last month better.
November 4th, 2013  
@susale -- This is such an intriguing image I keep returning to it. I thought, her stride seems more confident, his more hesitating, which reflects the lyrics. But I watched the video link you have here, and your photo is TOTALLY better than the in-your-face images that are there!
November 4th, 2013  
@jyokota Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and compliment Junko! Yes I agree about the strides and that is why I used the first part of
the lyrics here.
November 4th, 2013  
Super shot, perfect for mono. Love the comp and the lighting.

Such a poignant image, Brilliantly processed and captured.

Fantastic picture ! gorgeous light & processing.
November 6th, 2013  
Stupendous capture, what a story it tells, and your words add emotion and impact to an already emotional picture. A fav.
