Beautiful! Congrats on the top 5 finish! (I think the commenters scores said it more accurately :)) I'm glad that you entered the one that you did. It gives those of us who favorited it something to look at again and again. :)
Top 5! Yay! I actually meant to come back and comment on this during the challenge but didn't get the chance. This looks like a really cool place. I thought it was so unusual that they all seemed to have the same chairs and was wondering if it was a pool club or some such thing, but I see from the location it's not.
I really liked this shot a lot- one of my top picks. Guess I should have looked closer though as I really thought this was one of the parks in London where you rent similar chairs by the hour.
Congrats on a fine finish!
I could spend hours looking at this, so much going on, so many stories to tell. A moment was captured here, one of city life that could never be duplicated. Lovely work.
the collection of people is quite good - the use of the little chairs a great touch - but I wish the folks were more 'in the scene' - front and center - rather than a quick casual glance
Now THIS is a wonderful "in the style of" or homage to Monsieur Cartier-Bresson. A simple moment in time. Busy. But oh so serene when one joins in with the foremost subject, who in her mind, appears to be all alone there in her chair, soaking up the rays, the grass, the air - enjoying the silence, though it probably isn't silent... So serene. But there are other stories, too. Where do the chairs come from? Are they first come first served? Do people bring their own? What's to the left, the direction several of the others are looking to? And all done in a very classic feeling rich B&W.
I think this image has all the Bresson qualities. Rhythm and movement with the crowd of people, great B&W tones and a couple sets of female legs, (which I think Bresson may have been a bit of a peeping Tom with the leg shots I have seen of his). I am no afficionado so I am looking at this wondering if I am viewing an actual Bresson image.
