hello Jason,
You found many sophisticated adjectives to describe the Monte Carlo esplanade :). The girl seems really pleased with her photos. Amusing and nice view. But why she sits back to such splendid area around, with nice buildings, palms and fountain? probably no stairs on the other side, haha.
I was in Monte Carlo many years ago. I was stunned how many things they packed in the tiny area.
Have a great week

Hi Jason,

This is indubitably the most glorious, comprehensive and enlightening description of a place which I have ever read on TE! And, well, it don't look too bad at all in your picture either.

Seriously, this is a delightful scene, very nicely and pleasingly composed with the distant slightly out of focus backdrop of the sunlit buildings of Monte Carlo making a fine setting for your portrait of this happy young photographer. She looks as though she would be a girl with lots of fun and her red and white striped top certainly makes her stand out well in the foreground of this photograph.

Yes, Jason, people in pictures really can "lift" an image wonderfully well. Interestingly, there are some members here - and I'm thinking particularly of Gert (holmertz) - who rarely ever post pictures without people in them and he will rarely make comments on bland photographs which don't include some human interest.

Super!

Kind Regards,

John.

P.S. Do you think that this young lady has some nice photos of a grumpy old man with a camera?

Hello Jason,
Your photos very often manage to combine a human presence and activities with the local environment in a way that I enjoy a lot. Too many people would have waited patiently for that women to get out of their way without realizing that she makes the photo worth while. The nice background is just a good bonus. This is a fine shot very much to my taste.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour Jason,

En effet les jardins du casino sont de toute beauté et valent bien quelques dizaines de photos. La jeune fille semble vraiment s'amuser avec sa caméra et probablement avec son sujet aussi.

Amicalement

Hello Jason
Très joli sourire de la dame qui est très contente de voir la prise de sa photo, bien que je ne vois pas ce qu'elle a prise!!!, j'ai envie de sourire avec elle, tellement c'est un plaisir de la voir heureuse :-) l'arrière plan est très agréable a voir aussi, une toute belle scène de vie
Bon je vais m'apprêter et aller faire quelques longueur a la piscine pendant que tu dors (peut-être) encore :-))
Belle journée mon ami de l'Arizona..

Hi Jason
I don't think you got enough "M" adjectives into your note! lol We need a little bit more next time ok!

looking at this shot, I wonder if she would actually enjoy having a copy of her own - then again if you showed her after you took it she may think you're a total creep! lol

Us guys get that reputation you know!

Cool photo of the photographer, and i like that you filled the entire frame, no dead spaces.
see you around

Hello Jason,
this scene would seem indifferent to a passer by interested in the glamorous surroundings, it's great that you noticed it and framed it in such an effective way. The scene looks meaningful and intriguing, like part from a story (film). It's enticing to imagine what happened before and after this instant. The young lady is an interesting protagonist but I'm very curious about the character in the background. The setting is elegant and luscious, I like very much the smooth distinction of lit and shady areas, the colours are sweet and natural, evoking Mediterranean summer. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Hola my friend from the desert


First the capture

Great to found and place the girl as the main subject of the vertical capture, framed in a smart way by the palm at the left, at first view I believe it was an old selfie, lol, would be the first on TE
The full backgrown is plenty of details, to begin with, the fountain, a good mix of green and soft colors

From your note I noticed you enjoy the Monaco gardens, great place to wander and take photos

Well seen and taken

Each time I saw your profile, I smile like this girl, there are times when there are more photos of France than the States

Hello Jason,
such situations (photographing the photographer ) are always very funny and interesting, I've taken such shots many times :)
the composition/POV are very good. I like the moment of happiness: the girl's smile is in good harmony with the brightly sunlit background buildings and fountain :)
best regards,
Elena
