very well done my friend
"where do i take this paine of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side
so tear me open pour me out
there's no things inside that scream and shout
and the pain still hates me
SO hold me untill it sleeps"

Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:96941} 7/5/2007
A very nice idea to put the sleeping man at the bottom right corner of this B&W, Fabrice! You somehow put him at the center of interest but by disbalancing the composition, which makes it even more interesting. There is nothing but the sleeping man here, and he is at the edge of empty space - perhaps a continuation of his solitude while sleeping.

The tones on the man are also in great contrast to the wall, contributing to the difference between him and the rest. He just seems to have earned a place for sleeping just because he didn't think about photogenity. And that makes it so live and remarkable.

Also remarkable is the fact, that there still is a huge amount of details on him, though he is mainly captured in dark tones.

A picture that one keeps on looking over and over again.

Best wishes and keep it up!

Nick

Excellent composition, Fabrice.. there is a little shake, but that is ignorable..

cheers !

Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 7/8/2007
Many thanks for taking time to comment my work Avi. There's no shake in MHO.. I think that this is the combination of the DOF and the texture of the wall since the man seems to be in focus.


fotogr@vi     {K:52495} 7/8/2007
Ohh.. the texture od the walls... yes, THAT may be the culprit then...

Buena toma en B y N Fabrice. Me gustó el encuadre. Felicitaciones


John Hatz   {K:143808} 7/24/2007
Excellent photo Fabrice, I like a lot the simple of the composition, just a wall and the man being in that unique way of sleeping, I like a lot how closed to him is the frame, looks like holded by the frame even at the bottom or at the right and that is very good, hmm... not sure about the wall's quality... looks like a bit out of focus...not something importante but that result is unique as the wall and the well focused man is in very small difference of distance and so normaly even an aperture of f/2.8 could be enouph to have sharp both areas, don't know why is that...
Surely a great photo worths a lot, not only as a portrait (placement etc) but also about the very funny way of sleeping that you present to the watchers and the smiles you gives to them.
Absolutely great!
best regards!
