LlUI MON AMI! :-)

Ahhhhhhh ha!  Sometimes in an image the observer misses the emotion, 
feelings and the driving moment  why the photographer went click! Many times 
a subtle moment of seeing from ones long gone past when the new scene 
re-calls the magical moment and admiration of anothers Seeing the moment.

Your expllanation is quite logical and makes sense when explaned. Thank you 
most graciously.

And quite correctly, a pure B&W subjective image after your explanation. 
Gracious! :-)

cheers,
ted

Hi Ted, mon ami

The image I saw remembered me the images of the old italian movies from the 
60?s, films from Antonioni, Fellini, De Sica ? showing large spaces on the 
suburbs at the evening, everything looking grey with lower contrasts telling 
me a great impression of loneliness, the view had a point of attraction for 
me, the girl alone in the middle of a big space. On the other hand the view 
was on my eyes plane, what for me added a plus on vision of the perspective.

Well? taking images is also, always subjective, maybe I see an story and I 
didn?t found the correct way to communicate it.

Thank you dear friend for your observation, but what is decisive for me is 
that I would never posted the image in color, yes there are nice, but the 
question for me is if we shot the nice things to made a nice image with 
these pre-maded things or we try to create beauty from an abstract reality?.

Cheers
LLuis
