A wonderful, wonderful composition, a poem in b/w, Sohrab... marvellous elements... there is something in it that decidedly evokes Cartier Bresson to me... and is that boy just jumping into the water down there? Spellbinding. A masterpiece!

Fantastic vision to make so much out of such a simple and mundane scene Sohrab - absolutely wonderful juxtaposition from the fore and midgrounds to this compelling action in the background - one of your best imho

best wishes kev

They say it's "work of art" and "poem in B&W" and they should know but I can't see why... ;o((( - I must learn a LOT more, Sohrab, before I will be able to analyse your photography. But one day...

And ONE thing is sure, it DOES attract me, picture after picture, even if I don't take the time to tell you. Sometimes I'm amazed, stunned, impressed, or, just like today, amused... Thank you for the smile - also thanks to Torben's joke! :o)))

yeah, like Maciej said, it is complex. so well done. for me, the man jumping makes it, it would be good with him, but with him, it is stellar. and the foreground is an entirely different story, situation, composition. really impressive, superb work.
smiles later... if I could give this one 10, I would.

sohrab,
i have rarely seen a photograph this good. i am awestruck.
i think the photo is all about "looking through". the underwear story is really a story of things precautiously hidden yet vouyeuritically seen. truly magnificient.

Thank you Sohrab for this masterpiece, everything is perfect. Timing, exposure, composition; everything is mixed with a grace that is common only to few great photographers.
Thank you
Stefano

I never cpmmented on this pic before, Sohrab, for muy sins...;o) Actually it happened to be rotated as a "favorite" shot on the opening page todday and I was struck by the thumbnail. This, perhaps more than any other shot of yours shows one thing verty clearly: the seemingly easy elegance of your eye - the subtle way you "see" things. I mean - underwear, you know... But here they are like the small sails of ships.
And as if that wasn't enough you have three shadowy figures walking beneath from bottom right to the center, out in the blinding ligyht of that day.
It is a great shot, you know, a "classic" photograph.
What can I say...?
Best,
Francis
