Fantastic Zozia. I know your portfolio already and each picture is a masterwork. This one is no exception. What you do with the tone ranges is unique, almost a trademark.

Piekne. Jedyny moj zal o tym zdjeciu to wmiare 'nowoczesny' polonez (wiem karoseria z 70ych) w tle, jakis duzy fiat by mniej wplywal na kompozycje. Aczkolwiek dodatek na drodze dobrze robi - daje jakis kontrast pomiedzy spokojem starszego pana, a predkoscia zycia ktorego juz nie zna.

Bert Dude   {K:16} 6/6/2003
Forget the quality of the workmanship (BTW which is superb), and enjoy this photo for what photography is all about.. the emotions and feelings that an artist wants to convey... and this has it all... I can't help but feel this photograph when i look at it...


Joăo Magalhăes   {K:2067} 6/6/2003

Alpha Centauri   {K:754} 6/6/2003
Excellent!


Michael Grace-Martin   {K:10263} 6/6/2003
Wonderful character capture! Apparently this is a scan, and the only thing I'd change about the scanned image presented here would be increasing the brightness and contrast a bit (e.g., see attached). Congrats on a fine shot..:)



Irenka Daniluk   {K:8011} 6/6/2003
Excellent picture. Simple and moving.

Wonderful!


Mike Marcotte   {K:3948} 6/6/2003
Bert Dude puts it best. As far as I'm concerned, this is a good & pure photograph. We've all seen people like this & felt something one way or another.
What makew it more interesting is the light coming through in scattered areas. Warming some parts of the image & leaving the otheres cool. This photo had a good feel.


Jonathan Kane   {K:10467} 6/6/2003
Zosia.... You have just achieved goddess status with me. I am building an altar to you in my backyard.

Anders Blomqvist   {K:1887} 6/14/2003
It's a great pleasure to take part of your work, Zosia. The tonal range and the compositions are excellent, but more important, the pictures are communicating and are telling a story. The Old Man is such a good example of that. Excellent!


gianna piano   {K:15309} 6/17/2003

Ulf Fĺgelhammar   {K:10975} 6/24/2003
A brilliant example of how to use shadows. Great photo.


Christian Wettergren   {K:1333} 6/24/2003
I get a headache from this fabulous excellent picture. What to say? This image really baffles me and stumbles me. Top top quality, yet so naturally simple and relaxed.

I think I'd better be quiet?

Wonderful picture, Zosia. Some day I hope to be able to take pictures like this one. Congratulations,

~Ursula


Dan Bachmann   {K:931} 7/27/2003
Wonderful image! The slight smile holds it all in place. Good exposure on the sky which doesn't dictate the picture, though poetically says, "there is something behind me, something in the past" which incorporates your caption. Nice touch with the film negative number in the scan. I'll be looking forward to looking at more of your images for inspiration.


Lucas Macedo   {K:12843} 7/27/2003
Fantastic portrait, Zosia! Wonderful composition, definition and contrast. Just perfect! Regards ..... Lucas

Richard Marriner   {K:6657} 3/7/2004
It's strange that I've overlooked this gem for a comment so far. The photo really has an uncommon beauty and emotional appeal. I printed it out (with a few others) to show my photography class the other day and they agreed - they also thought I took some great photos on my recent holiday in Poland! lol ;-))


Helmut Schadt   {K:780} 3/13/2004
a gem of your excellent work!
just came new here from fotocommunity.de and happy to find you here too. hope you will show more, but i understand it's a matter of time too.
