Hi Maciej, this is a well observed shot. really like how you have framed the shadow in theopposite direction. The umbralla is a nice addition. A nice one. Bala

Hey maciek!
this one's really nice. the umbrella goes well with the rest of the image, it makes a good contrast. the shadow is good and it is where it should be.
perhaps the left side is a bit empty. i feel a more balanced compo could have looked better.

The shadow coming into the frame is cool Maciek and I really like the use of dead space in the middle. I guess without the strong light, the shadows wouldn't have worked here, but the light doesn't make the rest of the scene all that pleasing. Overall, a good shot and a good idea to capture as you have.

Superb photo Maciek,
The almost black anwd white is really brought alive by the red and white umbrella, while the empty space at the top is filled very beautifully by the shadow. The lines in the wood (verticals and curves) and that sharpness is fantastic.

Nice compo & very graphical
The red umbrella reminds us that this is a color photo. Great shadow breaking the lines.

Good composition, very good graphic effect due also to the wooden floor. I always like to see shadows without shadow "owner", it is a little mysterious. Ref and white umbrella helps the composition weights.

This is a nice surprise, Maciek. Martin Parr, Alex Webb and a bit of Monty Python thrown in for good measure...and, surprisingly, it works! Lovely composition and the shadow at the top of the frame works wonderfully well. Parts of the image seem to be a bit blown out (watch your exposure), but overall a very pleasing image. Nice work.

Hello Maciej,
Interesting composition. Well chose POV. Great colors and details. That shadow on the top of the framing is great and give a misty look to your composition. The paralel lines from the wood floor are great.
Cheers

Very beautiful composition, Maciej. The shadow at the top is marvelous, and so are the shadows of the bottom. THe umbrella adds an excellent counterpoint to the shadows and the linear motif on the deck.

Hi Maciej.
Really good POV.
A simply, but graphic and original shot.
I like the ground with all the lines and the shade at the top with this angle.
Very interseting composition...good eyed.

Hi Maciej,
excellent, your have a really good eye to find scenes like this.
I like your aerial POV, the sunshade adds color to the grey background.
Good to include the shade on the top, well done !

The composition is very good and the shadows very well defined. My only complaint is that it is not perfectly centered. :) I am usually NOT a very picky person but since it looks like it is supposed to be centered it kind of looks odd to me that it is not. Other then that it is great. The umbrella adds a nice shape and more color to the photo. Nice idea. Looks great. JP

Unusual composition, but very well framed. The lines, the POV, the bright umbrella and of course the shadow.

Hi Maciek,
Excellent shot, I like very much this POV as well as the red umbrella "facing" the monochromatic floor. Excellent compo too, with the upper shadow. I like it very much.

Great compo, a concrete, trivial scene rendered with a sense of what is not there (like horizontals becoming verticals), but created by the camera (your eye, that is), adding abstraction, which transfers the image into a different plane of perception. In one word: Maciej at his best!
zlazk (0) 2007-01-03 10:25
feels very relaxing moment. I guess you wanted to catch the shadow of the moving person and didn't center the people on the bench. It probably was a moment decision, as the title says.
In my opinion, the shadow is a little distractive, otherwise - perfect!
