Mimicry, a photo from Zagreb, Inland

Photographer's Note

First-why this title? Well I've shown this photo to 2-3 people and none of them noticed the man's silhouette above the lights, did u?

There was a concert going on of a Croatian famous singer and this guy was setting the reflectors above the stage to their best positions before the concert. I can't really remember the height but he was probably about 10-15 meters above the ground.

Que ne faut il pas faire pour que la lumière soit! J'aime ces ombres chinoises,et ce numéro d'acrobate, bien saisi!
Merci pour le partage.

This is a beautiful picture ! I like this Chinese shadow which stands out on the night with delicacy... it is on the other hand, I find, thats a pity that the backgroung has this purple color... Congratulations for this acrobatic photo and sorry for my poor english...

Great silhouette shot Gordana. Colors are fantastic, especially with the lights against that nice purple and pink sky.

...and how could you miss that man hanging, to me he is the focal point of the photo. How come no D80???

Great work.
John

Hi Gordana
Man? Which man? I can't see any man in your picture. However I hope this invisible man is well fixed to the attice through a resistent rope :-)
Seriously though i can see a spectacular gradient background and a very sharp and well located silhouette.
Cheers
Matteo

Surely there is a safer way to adjust these lights? I really like the silhouette of the man and of the light structure. The tones of the background is great and the lights make for a nice pattern.

P.S. The man was the first thing I noticed.

Fantasticni boi ja odbelezuvaat ovaa tvoja fotografija.Da ne bese covekot tamu ovaa slika ke nemase nikakva vrednost.Mi se dopaga kaj tebe sto gi gledas momentite koi voobicaeno ne se interesni za ostanatite, a posle toa, preku tvojot objektiv, tokmu tie momenti dobivaat odredena smisla i se ubavi sami po sebe.
Toa e mozebi najubavoto vo umetnickata fotografija, a izrazito se zabelezuva vo tvojata galerija.
Bravo, pozdrav Igor

Zdravo Gordana. Bome bash imash oko za neobichne stvari, za ono shto mnozhina ljudi nebi niti primjetilo. Divne boje, intersantna komozicija, originalan naslov. Bravo Gordana. Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Hi Gordana, well seen ! Must be difficult to get it so sharp in this twilight. With a focus of 24mm you had to be very close, first I thought you surely used a zoom. Well done, very good detail !
Cheers Chris

Hey Gordana,
That's a great photo! I noticed the man at the first time of course (and I notice too that come people aren't very creative), but I really like your idea and the title as well.
Nice colours, superb silhouettes and composition!
TFS!
Best wishes,
Marci

Hey Gordana, great silhout against the colored background. Unusual motive, but well seen. Good effect from the reflectors, and you can sense the effort from the guy climbing. Nice. Greet's Jens ;-)

Hi Gordana,
Excellent silhouettes, exceptional graphical feel.
Superb exposure control and great composition !
Best regards, Daniel

Seems like a draw or a cartoon image. I love the overall effect and the "unreal" colours.

Hi Goga,
Just came across this one and wanted
to say how much I liked it.
Great silhouette shot, well composed
and with some stunning colour contrast.
Well spotted,
Robi

Flavia (10352) 2007-11-25 4:13

Hi Gordana,

I was absent of TE when you posted this picture so I haven't seen it before. What a fantastic shot! The purple background is very atractive and the silhouette as well as the lughts are perfectly sharp. Really amazing!

Regards,

Flavia

Hi Gordana,

Colors & sharpness, POV & idea are puzle in Your unique compozition...
See my picture from Slovakia... The same man?

jafadabret (56501) 2008-01-25 10:41

Gordana, j'aime beaucoup cette photo avec le gars en silhouette sur cette structure pour régler les projecteurs. L'effet graphique est superbe et les couleurs au top.
Jacques

coco (30439) 2008-04-26 14:45

Hi Gordana.

Good composition with a very good exposure. The lights are also amazing and I like very much the atmosphere beyond the photo.

Well done.
