maxine from Rangiora, New ZealandThe parks and walkways in winter always appear bereft of movement and color, lonely and waiting for the sun and fun to begin.Well caught Kylie. 17 Aug 2008 5:29am @maxine: Thanks Max, indeed it is a place in waiting and in Summer it is alive with beautiful colour and frangrance, thanks for your comments! @Magda: Thanks Magda! Lorraine from Gatineau, CanadaSuch a lovely sense of tranquility and peace...I love the quietude of it :) 17 Aug 2008 6:15am @Lorraine: Thank you sweet lady! :o) Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New ZealandIt really is deserted:-0 Beautiful capture Kylie! I bet in summer this place is buzzing with colour:-)) 17 Aug 2008 6:38am @Linerberry: So true Linders, a few more weeks and the buds of spring will be out, thank you my friend for your lovely comments! Rags from Plano, United StatesThis image seems like it was made a long time ago. It has that old time look to it. I like it. 17 Aug 2008 6:42am @Rags: Thanks so much Rags, it was the feel I was hoping for! :o) jamesy from christchurch, New ZealandYou seem to do more with black and white photos that many people can do with colour. In this case I think the B&W adds to the sense of desertion 17 Aug 2008 6:58am @jamesy: Thanks so much Jamesy, I did actually take this in colour but it looked almost b&w so I converted it, thanks for stopping by. @Calusarus: Thanks Frederic :o) @Seb!: Thanks Seb, your comment made me laugh... think Charlie was inside where it was warm :o) thanks for stopping by. Arps from Hyderabad, IndiaKylie I like this shot... and its so well captioned... the black and white effect add more to the deserted feeling 17 Aug 2008 10:30am Michael Skorulski from Cigel, SlovakiaInteresting composition, perspective and finish, Kylie. Nicely done. 17 Aug 2008 11:01am Ron from Saint Louis, United StatesLooks like a very lonely scene ... beautifully present, here. I suspect it is not always so lonely and deserted. I see the potential for beauty here ... 17 Aug 2008 12:23pm bluechameleon from Vancouver, CanadaWow Kylie, this is fantastic! It has such a lonely feel, thick with atmosphere and silence. Did you use an infrared filter? There is a hint of that to my eye. 17 Aug 2008 2:33pm Rui from Leiria, PortugalGreat image. The B&W was a good option. What a sense of quietness and peace... but I agree with Ron... we can feel some action here, with people walking by, just seated and the children running. Very good work Kylie 17 Aug 2008 3:44pm Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, CanadaBeautiful. Did you shoot this about 1850? I love the tones. The beautiful light and glow. 17 Aug 2008 3:53pm Joe from San Diego, United StatesThere is a comfortable antique feel here along with a curiosity to know where the sidewalk leads. 17 Aug 2008 4:05pm Brittney from Hawaii, United StatesPortrays a sense of emptiness or loneliness. Great job portraying a mood here. 17 Aug 2008 4:38pm pedro cardona from mahon, Spainthe effect is very interesting, i like it very much b&w and the feels we can stract of it 17 Aug 2008 5:37pm Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, SpainWell done and edited. The image remembers the ancient photos of the old masters. 17 Aug 2008 6:54pm Richard_Irwin from Belper, United KingdomA very interesting quality, it is somehow timeless in that it could have been shot anytime between 1850 and now, and full of an amazing light and interesting focus. I'm intrigued and really like your shot here. 17 Aug 2008 7:27pm Marco from Verbania, Italythe time passes, very particular atmosphere, bellisima shot and point of view 17 Aug 2008 7:53pm amy from Nanaimo, BC, CanadaFantastic high contrast!! Great subject for it. Very nicely moody. 17 Aug 2008 8:58pm Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomThis could be taken at the very beginning of the photographic era, amazing treatment. 17 Aug 2008 9:18pm Gary from Cochise County, United StatesThere is such a contrast throughout the image and so much to look at and feel. I really like this. I also think this has so much impact in B&W. 17 Aug 2008 11:30pm dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United Stateswow so barren and a bit creepy! amazing processing here -- i agree w/ Mike... this could be a turn of the century shot... has a bit of an 'x-ray' feel... like Afred Stieglitz's famous cloud series... stunning!!! 18 Aug 2008 4:54am Maben Aaron Robin from Mumbai, IndiaVery vintage feel indeed. Feels as though legendary lovers used to meet here long ago. 18 Aug 2008 1:48pm Japanalia from Yokohama, JapanYou managed here a good quality oif B&W. Somebody said it looked like a timeless shot...and I agree!But....so saaaaad!!! 19 Aug 2008 6:58am djedfre from schaumburg, United Statesi think the brush has taken over - looks like a trap! 19 Aug 2008 7:20am Steve Rice from Olympia, United StatesThere is sort of a lonely feeling in this photo. Well done. 19 Aug 2008 2:58pm |
