I want to know who he is about to meet, and why he actually LIKES that shirt!

Maybe the shirt will be the cause of the end of a budding relationship....

I really like the way he's walking off the left side of the photo: obviously he has somewhere to be, somewhere non photographic, while on the right side of the image, those tree trunks make a really interesting shape: a rather impressive tree bowl. I like that kind of near-symmetry, and there's probably some kind of algorithm that can describe it: some cousin to the Golden Ratio, and the crop of the photo makes it even more interesting. It has the feel of something of a panorama shot, but it's up-close and intimate. I like the way this just draws the viewer along all sorts of lines and truncated, parabolic curves. I think if you were to follow the lines, or if you could somehow see people seeing this image (certain frogs can do that, but that's a subject for another post) you'd witness something like a complicated dance: a kind of not-so-stiff waltz that's as fun to watch as it is to do. I love this series: this shot, like the others featuring people in monochrome, has the feeling of on-the-fly improvisation, a bit like the kind you'd hear in only the most fun jazz with beads of sweat on its forehead. This rocks.

Good composition!

I just love all these people captures. But how are you doing it? I try to take a picture of a flower or butterfly and people I'm not even pointing the camera at come out of the sewers and alleys screaming murderous threats that I'm personally responsible for the collapse of civilization and only suspicious possible terrorists own a camera. Oh how sadly true it is the 1st amendment has died a terrible and slow death. Seriously, I'm afraid to take my camera outside, our society has some crazy anti-camera thing going on. Yay for mob mentality. Oh where were the WMD's?... where I say?... where?.... burn the books.... everyone's a communist...McCarthy had it right... camera?... terrorist for sure.

Very nice...

Great one.... love that fence in this too. Adds visual appeal to the image. :)

My mother always used to tell me, "Ask. The worst thing that will happen is that they will say no." So I asked and my mother always said no. This led me to my own philosophy which is, "If you don't ask they can't say no." This is in response to wolfenshire's question. This fellow seems amused by something. Perhaps it is his shirt. Great shot.

Well, he seems to be quite happy about something. Happy is good! Cool capture, Tara!

Excellent composition with the fence

Amazing capture Tara. God bless.

Opps! I missed thisun sweetie, did he roar "you're outa there" LOL! Nice, I do like what you are doing with these N'Orleans images.

"Zoom is always better on these" It is my contention, zoom is better for everything here at rendo, they keep updating everything, but keep missing the poor generic image display, Oh well, maybe one day they will make the thumb bigger? Oh hold on, that will upset the iPad and smart-phone brigade with their tiny little swipey screens.
