One day, a photo from Geneva, West

Photographer's Note

I am a child today.
But I will grow up.
My dreams will then flow among people
Like a river of hope running through the Earth.

I probably will never be a free man
But I will fight for it in every breath I’ll take.

NB: for Manny and Maciek..just to remind them we also have some kids around here in Europe... ;o)

Well, maybe just the skies these days. What's happened there, is it a burst water main. Anyway, nicely observed, and very sharp.

Super sympa, cette image.
On dirait que le garçon danse avec ce jet et son expression est vraiment très forte, mêlant plusieurs sentiments : la surprise, l'émerveillement , la joie, mais en même temps peut-être une légère crainte.
Et en plus c'est parfaitement réalisé techniquement.
J'aime vraiment beaucoup !

I like the centered compisiton, altough the lamp post in the center background disturbs me a little. Otherwise this is great. The expression on the boy's face and the pose you captured is great!

Elle est cool celle-ci. Je retiens la fascination de son expression qui fait que les enfants sont parfois entièrement dans un autre monde. La prise à sa hauteur est parfaite dans l'idée et la réalisation vraiment probante. J'apprécie égalemtn beaucoup ta note Gal !

Excellent picture Gal, what's happened there, is it a burst water main. Anyway, nicely observed, and very sharp. Very well done.

Thanks Gal. Frankly spaeking. I vey much like to take pictures of European kids. However, I am not really sure if they would like me to.

This is agood moment. Go for a vertical crop. Let him stand dignified and proud.

Je dois avouer que je préferais nettement les images précédentes, avec la rade et des ciels incroyables. Le photos de vie quotidienne ne me satisfont que rarement. Mention toutefois pour la qualité technique et le coup d'oeil : détails de l'eau, expression du bambin, arrière-plan flou comme il le faut, ni trop, ni trop peu. Bravo pour tout celà!

os tons de cinza estão algo de extraordinário aqui.
de minha parte, faria um corte mais dramático - logo acima da água e logo atrás da outra menina na calçada.
sim, e passaria um discretíssimo clone out tool (ou o equivalente, não lembro o nome em inglês agora) para tirar aquele anúncio logo acima/atrás da água.
teríamos as duas crianças em evidência e, ao mesmo tempo, a foto ficaria um 'tout petit peu' descentralizada.
um certo ar nostálgico, sem dúvida.
e você diz que minhas fotos são fortes...
as suas têm um impacto imediato sobre mim.

Hi Gal,
very nice subject!! I like very much the expression of the kid and the effect of the water...great note too!

Brilliant moment caught here Gal, not so sure about the sign that seems to poke up from behind the gush of water but what can you do on the street where speed and timing is everything... I like the boy's fixed attention on the water. Great moment and great shot!

Une composition pour le moins surprenante cette enfant jouant dans un jet d'eau (ou de bière) Tu as reussi à être présent au bon moment. Bel équilibre entre les Blancs et les noirs: merci /jr

very strong picture Gal..I liked the poem very much (as you probably know by now from my TL pictures, I am a mom with wet eyes :)
I loved the composition, kid's lovely face and expression in front of this "source of joy" for him..I liked the girl and the bicyle at the background..I would try to clone out the sign and the post just at top of the water I guess...thanks..

Superbe instantané. L'expression de l'enfant est adorable. Et merci pour la très belle note, un vrai plaisir.
