The balcony, expression of the small pretty young girl well capture.


Mirko Saviane   {K:4588} 9/23/2004
Maybe leaves in the upper left are a little distracting however really minor note...Nicely composed as exposed shot... Nice capture! ;-) Well done!

Dear Maja,

nice candid portrait. the toning is very good and I like the polaroid look. I'm not sure about the format here as the background is just hinted and don't serve any purpose. maybe a more upright format would fit in better, but that's just an idea ;-)
take care,
thilo

Great shot, timing, expression and synthesis. I disagree with the presentation, I think it's not approriate to this image. Well done anyway.


Dr. Rafael Springmann   {K:87615} 9/23/2004
You captured her curiosity very well, Maja. It can be seen in her eyes and in her whole expression. You managed to arouse my curiosity too: what were you trying to take a photo of when the girl stole the show?
Thank you for your commet on my "Evening in Tel Aviv". I must confess, though, that I am not respossible for the lighting. It was supplied, free of cost, by the setting sun...
Regards,
Rafi

Good idea to freeze the curiosity, the nice thing is that she?s not looking directly in the lens. Bye Max


Maria José Barres   {K:11276} 9/23/2004
Great expresion in her face... good title!
Very nice work!
Greetings.

Hello Aris,
Thank you for the comment.
You said: "I disagree with the presentation, I think it's not approriate to this image".
You don't like polaroid look or what?Can I hear some suggestion please?

Best regards


Maja Gligoric   {K:13441} 9/24/2004
Hello Dr Rafi,
Thank you for the comment.This picture was taken months ago.Warm summer,balcony,coffee,cold juice and my camera.I was just sitting and looking for some photo subjects.I took couple photos of threes,birds..and then kids came out. :)
Is that what you asked for?
Best regards


Aris Michalopoulos / OsirisiS   {K:2026} 9/24/2004
Hi..
"disagree" it's not the appropriate word but it defines my opinion about the presentation and not the photo itself. I like polaroid style but the title inside the frame written in a very common and "amateur" font, not at all. Such mysterious photos, in my opinion, should be let be free to lead the eye and the mind of the ones who look at it, to higher states of understanding. And the titles that present the Obvious does not help. You can use titles (maybe handwritten) but not in such ways. Many great photographers used sometimes text in their photographs but that was different because behind that a whole concept was well structured. I hope i expressed what i really believe. Bye, Aris.


Maja Gligoric   {K:13441} 9/24/2004
Hi Aris,
It wasn't hard to be honest,isn't it? :)
I am amateur,still learning.I asked you for suggestion and your opinion because only you gave me some critics.I wanted to hear your idea and solution for this image.That is all.Thank you very much!

Best wishes,
Maja

Dear Maja,
First of all please call me just Rafi, like everybody else.

A beautiful capture of a very lovely looking young lady.


Jim Christensen   {K:18843} 9/25/2004
Maj
I really like this shot. If there is a nit its the focus. to me it looks like her shirt sleeve on the right arm is sharper than her face. But thats just my old eyes looking at it. Other than that I really like the expression and tonal range
nice job

Gregory McLemore   {K:26423} 9/25/2004

Cool!!!!!!!!!!


Orazio Minnella   {K:48355} 9/25/2004
Nice and exspressive portrait.Beautiful pose and great tonal range.


Gerhard Busch   {K:14709} 9/25/2004
The asking view of this girl and the point of view of the photographer make the picture something special. Greeting Gerhard


Ameed El-Ghoul   {K:42207} 9/25/2004
I think i will disagree here as well Maja, but not with you, i would disagree with lots of comments in here. I like the background, and i don't think the leaves are distracting, i think in the contrary bring the attention to the lovely background, i don't think the font is a problem at all, after all this picture is not made for commercial reason, if it is made for a magazine then you can customize the color of the font and the font it self, i like it as it is. The last thing, i like the title, and i also disagree about not mentioning the title, as simply when you name curiosity, i know what i am looking for, if you said sadness, it might apply, if you said she is lost, i might see her looking for direction, or even sad, so i like the name is well, 7 my dear, regards,

Nice casual capture. The girl fits perfectly in the picture. This is really excellent, Maja!!!


Geza Farkas   {K:12412} 10/1/2004
Great. Ovde se bas zakuvala rasprava :-). Pa licno mislim da okviri pomazu da se ponekad slika istakne, zasto bi se inace uramljival umetnicka dela. Za tekst ispod nisam bas siguran meni licno zaista odvlaci paznju :-).


Riny  Koopman   {K:19998} 10/1/2004

Ned Ali   {K:11925} 10/7/2004
Maja .. your composition here is wonderful. i like the empty space on the left .. it goes well with the way she's looking.


NN     {K:26787} 10/21/2004
Excellent capture of curiosity! Very nice angle! Many thanks for your comment Maja :)


Maya Bylina   {K:5925} 10/26/2004
Lovely girle!


Jim Budrakey   {K:24165} 10/28/2004
Very nice, the angle from the balcony is perfect.


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 11/12/2004
Hello Maja! Sorry I have been away for so long, I have really had so much to do and that's why I "disappeared" for a while.

What a great photo of this curious girl! Very interesting and very beautiful! Nice mystical feeling. Gives a little bit of feeling that she is lost in a forest and something/someone is looking at her from up in a tree.


Anne Knes   {K:60408} 11/21/2004
Excellent


Elena Zabelina   {K:23212} 11/23/2004
Excellent shot, Maja. Very impressive girl. Great capture.
Best regards,
Lena


Richard Thornton   {K:26442} 12/14/2004
This is a very nice and somewhat sophisticated composition. I like the subject's direct gaze and expression. I think the sharpest focus just missed the face and was on the shirt instead. The exposure is dead on and the muted background really directs attention to the subject.
