goodman...I'm trying to have a conversation here. You are so nosey.
:) hehe .. nah it's not me. I took that shot with my camera in my hands.
I saw this guy walking around and I could tell that it was his first time in this part of Ireland. He wasn't Irish. I can't be sure where he was from. Most likely, he was American (just thought he was).
What made me enjoy the moment was that he surely was after good light and he used his energy and time to wait for it. He walked around and went down the steps to get the best angle.
I was photographing the same thing (a boat) from where this was taken from.
He left after this shot. I could see that he didn't have much time. I am almost certain that if time allowed him to stay there, he'd have been more than happy to spend his whole day at this spot.
I was observing him. I always observe how others approach the same thing. I do learn a lot from getting an idea of what others see and how they move. There's no one person who can see it all.
So, the shot is a result of me watching a passionate photographer.
G'day X,
I usually score your stuff very high, but I must admit I gave this a lousy six. More fool me! It's as rivetting as all your work; I just blundered ... must have had a couple of extra whiskies that night and just stumbled by with my senses dulled. So, apologies for an unworthy score and thanks for another of your demanding but rewarding masterpieces! P.
I like the leading line of this. The graininess of it is interesting and the human element amidst the architectural is always appealing to me. Nicely done.
real nice sense of perspective and composition. the diagonal stairs and the gradation of contrasts complement each other really well. i also like the texturing on the walls and background.
The contrast is pretty good although parts of the wall do have similar tonal qualities, and I keep thinking that the photographer has been "skewered" by the railing.
The picture needs more highlights for a stronger composition. I liked the stairs pretty well, and the person is pretty contrasty, but the wall is too flat. Maybe a crop of the area around the person with some of the stairs in the image.
