The rest of the "skate warrior"

(this photo was taken a bit to demystify the notion
that one cannot really center a subject in a photo...
I believe that there are no fixed rules in photography)

Wonderful the patterns you've gotten from the shadowplay

Back to add: When a bridge becomes a ship, that's Portugal, that's saudade... Il y a toute la tristesse de l'infini dans cette image. ~ l'Autre

Je ne connais pas beaucoup de choses aux règles, mais cela me confirme que, s'il peut être bon de les savoir, il vaut mieux ne pas les suivre... elle est vraiment très belle, cette image, une composition superbe, pleine d'émotion. Tout comme Lucie, j'ai d'abord pris ce pont pour un bateau, ce qui accentue l'impression de "rêve d'ailleurs" du personnage.. Il a l'air sur un quai à attendre ou espérer le large, l'au-delà de l'horizon, et le fait que l'on ne voit pas cet horizon, mais que l'on soit placé derrière ces feuillages rajoute en force à cette émotion.

I agree with others, Ana, this is a very beautiful composition. This is also an original composition. Love the shadows. Love the hint of a boat (?) on the right side. And this figure, lit by the sun.

Very beautiful in its B&W simplicity. John

As usual, Adal has got the essential at first sight... ;-) ~ l'Autre

the mood is great..b&w was the way to go..I love the shadow dance of the leaves...v

As long as you know why are you breaking the rules!

Chris		24-May-2006 00:14
Bump the rules, Ana :) Although, I think the elements in the foreground really make the shot more than the choice of subject placement. Good stuff all around.

Phil Douglis		23-May-2006 23:03
I certainly agree with all of the comments here so far, Ana. I have always advised my students to forget every rule they ever "learned," and think instead of the purpose of an image before composing it.

Guest		23-May-2006 22:09
I like, very much, this photo, you did prove my point, rules are goods for nothing. Abraço, jorge

Agree with Kal... -- works perfectly!

Guest		23-May-2006 21:42
Quando existe bastante criatividade, as regras facilmente são quebradas. Gostei!

Guest		23-May-2006 10:36
He is so lonely..I must be very new at this for I believed that other than techiques in photography everything else is sentiment..I would love this photo either way..Full of emotion..

Guest		23-May-2006 09:15
Very nice composition Ana. There are fixed rules in photography but rules are made to be broken. Iannis

Kal Khogali		23-May-2006 08:29
The only rules are those set by the vision of the photographer and the the geometry of the elements...and both of these are too infinitely complex for rules ;-)) The leaves make it for me. K

Guest		23-May-2006 08:15
Yes, I agree with Sammy, you have the talent to brake the rules very well, Ana. Like the picture too!

Sam_C		23-May-2006 07:42
Superb composition, and tones Ana! Totally agree with you, in photography rules are for fools! But it takes a real talent, such as yourself, to break them well :-)

Amazing compo! Adal
