Am I a good man...?, a photo from Taipei, North

Photographer's Note

Lungshan Temple in Taipei, the late evening, there was a lot of people everywhere, very special atmosphere, great photo opportunities... I don't know how it happened that I managed to take such a "quiet" picture...

Original shot, auto-contrast.

Wonderful colors and atmosphere. I like the composition where you so nicely used the diagonal line. Just a part of the man is in the shadow, and you captured the essential of his face expression in the light. Very well done !

Very beautiful. I like the colour tones and the way the posts and mild shadows provide dynamics to this image. This is one of your most powerful shots. Very well-seen and executed.

(See you in Bangkok. We might bump into ecah other in the temple.)

This is great Maciej. I have seen this man at Longshan myself. you have wonderful composition here with the positioning of the man and the diagonal leading away from him, but what really makes this shot so great is the late evening light. This is a great shot.

Grande foto, você consegue passar o sentimento de reflexão deste homem, Os tons dourados/amarelos com pequenas partes em vermelho dão harmonia e beleza a foto. Parabéns.

Very fine, nice diagonals and the man in the right position. He seems so deep in thoughts. Lovely warm colors to.

Beautiful warm lighting, highlighting particularly his face and his hand. The composition is strong.

The low sun light works so well here!
The diagonal composition is well balanced and the person is on the perfect spot.
Very moody shot, good work!

Quelle belle photo! le cadrage et la composition sont parfait. Le visage de l'homme donne une puissance presque mystique et la couleur ne fait qu'augmenter la profondeur de l'image. Les deux petits spots rouges (la porte et la colonne ajoute dans la même palette de couleur. Bref une sapré belle photo. Bravo.

I can hear something going on inside this mans mind - just by looking at a photo.Well done, maciej

I love the composition and the light, wonderful job!

pcostas (321) 2004-02-01 4:14

A great moment beuatifully shot!

I think this is one of those subtitles that really add to the picture.
I don`t care if the man is sleeping, he is having a bad day, or is just his expression.
I prefer to believe all that story behind the subtitle....

taivo (1843) 2004-03-12 12:01

Marvelous shot and composition! The colors are warm and the sunlight light up the man's face just enough to see his expression and contour.

Beaucoup d'émotion dans cette image. Des couleurs très douces. Un merveilleux camaïeux de tonalités ocres et rouges. Une parfaite netteté en tous points. Bravo !

CoolDan (2516) 2004-06-21 8:22

J'aime beaucoup. L'atmosphère est calme, la composition dans ces teintes est d'un effet très reposant. Nice shot Maciej.

Your title and the beauty of this photo almost bring tears to my eyes. Your body of work is brilliant, but this stands out to me. Very evocative and special.
