hello Albert,
I like a lot the soft light and delicate textures, they create a nice dreamy mood to the scene. the composition works well, the fence on the right adds a sense of perspective. I might have tried to selectively lightening the silhouette of the man, especially the face, but that's a matter of personal preference. very nice work, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine

Hi Albert,
That's a funny picture. It's almost a "jungle picture" and then, with a second look, it's just a gardener.
Cheers

Hello Albert,
the light in this picture is weird. It's weird how it touches the tip of the branches. It makes them look as if they were drawn. It's weird, but it's beautiful.
I wished there was not this fence on the right...

Bonsoir Albert
c'est une superbe photo. Quelle ambiance ! j'aime beaucoup le travail que tu as réalisé avec ce jardinier qui semble éprouver des difficultés à reprendre le dessus sur la nature verdoyante. Bravo.

Jolies couleurs et bon POV qui montre bien la machine tout en laissant le mystère sur la partie de coupe,est ce un fil de nylon eu une rour de coupe?

Hi Albert!

This is an outstanding piece of artwork! Extraordinary photo that shows us one more side of your great talent! Fantastic portrait and daily life scene, everything is perfect here, framing, composition, timing and most important the light managment that has created a very moody atmosphere! Congratulations!

Bonjour Albert,
la capture de ces lumières très difficiles est la qualité première de cette photo, quelle ambiance particulière avec ces lumières.
Une belle palette de verts bien raffraichissants.

Hi Albert,
I must say that you have a fantastic gallery!
And having a small tour in the last page, i found this amazing photo! Very original cadrage and natural borders everywhere. The light and colors are nice. I especially like the pp work, which creates the softness here. Great photo! Congrats,
Deniz
