Wonderful pic
Great shot and postwork. Better to sit outside than inside the apartment.
And not paying any attention to the beauty around him!
Both super images.
A super candid but what is being pumped into his earholes is not natural !!
Another planet if you ask me. Great find and capture Andrea. God bless.
Cool scene Andrea :)
I like your treatment and selective coloring here. Great focal point. But why close yourself off and listen to music when you can listen to the nature all around you?
Boy the zoom says it all! You've made nature a spotty series of watercolor washes, blobs and blurbs which surround this man, as if to say: He doesn't even "see" nature. And he's rendered clear as a bell, immersed in his music. I have to say, in all fairness, I don't mind people listening to music in nature, because as a musician I often find the very smell of nature a wonderful backdrop to music...it enhances it. But I think the objection is that some people do nothing but; I see it all the time at the Lake: People run on the shore, walk, sit, and are so wrapped up in their ipods or video or texts that they don't bother to see the glory of that lake sitting right in front of them. (Even on stormy days, when the lake is positively majestic.) I think, for me, I've spent enough time in nature by itself that, when I do listen to music, it's like I'm introducing one friend to the other. Not sure this guy cares a whole lot about what's around him. Ah well, if he's happy, who are we to complain? It's a great capture, Andrea, and I hope everyone zooms the whole way, because that's where your vision comes across, and it's grand.
Oh please, please, please, don't tell me he's texting or checking his facebook page! Denise and Mark got it right. I read an article the other day where someone complained that young people at an art museum were so busy on their phones they failed to see the art.
Very well taken !
Wonderful pictures Andrea-----great postwork here.
Totally agree it's better to be outside than in.
Looks like he is really wrapped up into whatever he's listening to.
