About Downtown Sao Paulo, the greatest city of South America.

Stairs of Sé Cathedral.
The "zero" central mark of the city is located at Sé?s Square, nearby.

Just slightly cropped.
BW produced with a channel mixer layer.

There?s a picture of Claude Renault (http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/India/photo114345.htm) that has obviously influenced my look into the scene.



All critiques and comments are wellcome!!!

Amazing composition and tones Carmem, very expressive and touching image!


Daniel S. Garcia   {K:13946} 2/1/2005
My heart cry?s for her and all the people in her situation. Awesome grey tones and composition. The background (the stairs) gives this image so much. You have captured her with dignity. This is a 10!!!

Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:192044} 2/1/2005
My dear.. Cramem.. your photography he leaves me without words, the kind girl seems to be "abandoned" in a world "of lines", that steps seems huge almost an obstacle on which the fair copy models is seated, but from which it does not succeed "to rush".
I consider be a very intimate and balanced well photography. really perfect in the composition and the emotional result.

Meu cara.. Cramem.. sua fotografia que me deixa sem palavras, menina amável parece "ser abandonado" em um mundo "das linhas", que as etapas parecem enormes quase um obstáculo em que os modelos justos da cópia são assentados, mas de qual não suceda "para se apressar". Eu considero seja uma fotografia boa muito intimate e balançada realmente perfeita na composição e no resultado emocional. beijos

Great street shot, a story-telling photograph...7++


Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 2/1/2005
Excellent image, the steps almost turn into a brick wall, which is what she must feel she is 'up againt'. a very poignant and dramatic composition.

Paulo Machado   {K:4482} 2/1/2005
Mais uma ótima composição no momento exato. O padrão repetido das escadas em diagonal e a mulher com um ar de tristeza e abandono. Imagem que passa um certo isolamento e tensão.
Muito boa.
Abraços.

Wonderful, Carmem! A very strong and emotive image, beautifully presented - this one should definitely have an award! Amazing composition and feeling - how do you do it?


Raffaele Bardelli   {K:3262} 2/1/2005
Carmen, very nice capture. Well composed. I like it a lot.
Regards.


Carmem A. Busko   {K:48767} 2/1/2005
Hello, Dirck how do you do?

As I?ve said above.. I just clicked three times... and chose the second... I ?ve seen a similar composition before, the link is in the "about"...

As a post process, I just cropped to adjust the upper and lower lines, just a very slight bit.. and turned it to bw.
Thank you!!
Carmem

Antonio Trincone   {K:23167} 2/1/2005
the composition is great and professional in my humble opinion; a bit more light on the woman figure should help though

94 Views in one day, Marked as 4 Favorites, and with 40 Comments, but still not a BIP for this project nor an EC or SC either ... hummm!

Best of Regards!

Perhaps 'One Step Down' in the composition so she's not as tight in that quadrant ...


Carmem A. Busko   {K:48767} 2/2/2005
I?ve appreciate your comment a lot!!!
I?ll see your photos as soon as possible... is sleep time, now.. hehe.
Cheers!

Hi carmem...your portfolio is interesting, a collection of rare moments of life and hearty acts against the camera.also the shots showes that you have a good skill on composition and structures too, thanks for share these shots. would you please tell me your current email address. thanks. kiarang_alaei@yahoo.com


Luke Luther   {K:14687} 2/3/2005
isolation is a word that comes to mind. isolation in a world teeming with people, technology and opportunity. yet many of us still find ourselves isolated in the midst of all civilization. we can't make the connection across the divide that separates us as individuals to all else in the universe. the steps are perfect; the placement of the subject in the midst of all this is magnificent.


Maria José Barres   {K:11276} 2/3/2005
This is a great composition with the lines and woman!
Nice the B&W too.
Kisses


John Loreaux   {K:86129} 2/4/2005

Stephen Bowden   {K:64540} 2/6/2005
Fabulous capture Carmem, beautifully isolated and the textures in the steps look superb.

Best wishes,

James Philip Pegg   {K:10138} 2/6/2005
Nice composition Carmem, good mood, makes you want to get that girl a hug! Great feeling!


Sergio Leal   {K:1454} 2/8/2005
Bela registro, tem um forte apelo emocional e social.
As vezes essas imagens deixam com um grande vazio dentro de mim e paro para pensar nas grande desigualdade social em nosso "grande" país e como tão pouco para alguns pode representar tanto para outros...
Eu particularmente não acredito em qualquer tipo de solução pacífica dentro de uma sociedade como a nossa para acabar com pobreza, corrupção e uma infinidade de doenças sociais que crescem como um câncer e distorcem os nossos valores de maneira tão rápida e com aparência cada vez mais "natural". É lamentável.
Talvez um dia..... para meus netos e bisnetos.
Chega de inconformismo por hoje.
Boa noite a todos e parabéns pela bela documentação Carmem.


Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 2/8/2005

Carmem querida

A força desta imagem vem de dentro de você...

Georges Lemos   {K:605} 2/9/2005
Diria perturbador, realmente impactante. Não é pra ser bonito, é pra ser fotografia, o que sabes fazer muito bem Carmem. Parabéns!


Claudio  Fett    {K:1737} 2/10/2005
Sensacional o trabalho com as linhas, e a moldura parece que o quadro salta em 3d da tela.
Um abraço.
Claudio.


Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-55792} 2/12/2005
Great photo in my opinion, perfectly framed and converted in a strong BW with excellent tones and contrast, this is an image that makes me think because it tells me a story. Only one thing, don?t be angry with me, but I think that it would work also without the digital border around, just my opinion ;) Hugs, Max


Emmanuel Panagiotakis   {K:6314} 2/20/2005
Hi Carmen very nice b&w photo nice contrast
and texture well-done!!


Lori Stitt   {K:74568} 2/25/2005
Hi Carmem,
I love this photograph. In fact, I liked it so much that I had to go take a look at Claude Renault's image, very cool!

I really like your in the black and white, and the EMOTION is stunning!

Fantastic composition and detail,
good job!!!
Lori :)


Francisco Henriques   {K:57} 2/25/2005

meravigliosa fotografia...
non riesco a trovare le parole adatte per questa grande fotografia
è la fotografia stessa che parla, racconta la complessità del pianeta donna
quei gradini, la luce, il gesto
tutto perfetto
complimenti 7++++

Antonella Nistri   {K:21867} 5/17/2005

Great image!
