Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 8/4/2005
Hey, you know what Jeanette, I hesitated on your previous picture to ask you if you tried such image in B&W mode.. And here is the result. I like it very much with the different tones of the sky which gives rise to different contrast on the silhouettes.; This is really beautiful.
Congrats Jeanette
Fabrice


Magnus Beierlein   {K:1641} 8/4/2005
Fantastiskt bra

Magnus


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48318} 8/4/2005
wow, this is much better than your previous one.because of the curve and diagonal composite.


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/4/2005
Tycker du mest om den svartvita?

Jeanette


Mohamed Banna   {K:34207} 8/4/2005
after adding my 7.. i have to say ( great ).......
i dont think that is dark, it gives me some sort of thinking that the people in the high place are in danger,,

have a nice day


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/4/2005
Yes i mae a B&W version directly and i had them all vaiting...and after te first post i saw that people where asking for a B&W version. The result are differet, but i don?know my self what i like the most.

Jeanette

Tim  Schumm   {K:26875} 8/4/2005
this is just great in B/W. I see that they let everybody in line on to the ride finally.


pan giannakis   {K:16874} 8/4/2005
Wonderfully spotted Jeanette. The framming is beautiful.


Fabrice Gourbilleau   {K:53288} 8/4/2005
I have a weakness for the B&W version.. but I'm sure not a good judge.. ;)
Anyway, both are beautifull and express something different.
Fabrice


Giulio Rotelli   {K:28375} 8/4/2005
Lunapark, bambini, eppure ha un qualcosa di altalmente inquietante, sarà la silhouette che contrasta con un cielo pumbleo che promette tempesta.
Gran bel lavoro, merita il BIP, sicuro che lo vinci...


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/4/2005
Thanks Hai - i?m glad you like it!

Was just browsing your fantastic portfolio!!!

Liz Wallis   {K:25237} 8/4/2005
I really like this one Jeanette, and i don't think it is too dark, adds to the great mood that you have going here. that sky is really awesome, and the silhouettes of the people really add to this one a lot. Fantastic wrok.

Riny  Koopman   {K:19998} 8/4/2005
Hallo Jeanette,
Excellent use of the shutter speed!! What I like most is the inpressive sky!

Thank you so much for leaving a comment in my portofolio

Regards Riny


Andrea Musi   {K:1622} 8/4/2005
Very good photograph...
best regards


cessy karina   {K:14205} 8/4/2005
excellent capture of these silhouettes under the moody atmosphere Jeanette
frankly I hate to ride this thing, always made me sick, next time I will only taking photograph of it
err... yes a little bit dark on the upper right corner, but then again my monitor always a little bit darker


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/4/2005
Hi Carina - this one are next to the water and if riding there i can imagine that it feels like falling into the water. I would like to but my son didn?t. :( But to watch and make some shots was nice too!!!

Jeanette


giovanni guido marchi   {K:26011} 8/4/2005
un lavoro magnifico,grande composizione ed effetto drammatico...complimenti!!!!!


Ayşe Sanem Çolak   {K:4516} 8/4/2005
splendid view! excellent capture.


Carol Cefalu   {K:7491} 8/4/2005
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! It is one of the most unusual Sillouettes I have ever seen! I can definately live with the dark corner in fact it helps to draw my eye to the center..
Carol


Fabio Keiner   {K:41377} 8/4/2005
the best of all of your series


dado veron   {K:-342} 8/4/2005

Jeanette


Efisio Mureddu   {K:12854} 8/4/2005
Really like it Jeanette!
E.


Angelo Villaschi   {K:49617} 8/4/2005
Yes, it is a bit unfortunate that the sky was not the other way around: dark at the bottom left (thus covering up that foot) and light at the top right, thus giving us a great contrasting silhouette of the nearest person.

Still, a very good idea and very well executed. You can't control the weather...


Renato Renato   {K:4759} 8/4/2005
SILOUETTE PERFETTE IN BW
FOTOGRAFIA FAVOLOSA

Clifton Jones   {K:10604} 8/4/2005
Excellent eye....wonderful silhouettes.....well composed and captured................
Clifton.......


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/4/2005
I see what you mean Angelo - it?s more "logic" and as the "rules" says to have it dark in the left corner and light in the right corner, but as you said i can?t control the weather. Also, it?s nice to "breake" the rules sometimes - and more, it get more "scary in this way i think. At least in my opinion!

Many thanks for your comment dear Angelo!

Jeanette


Murat Harmanlikli   {K:7824} 8/4/2005

:-), uwe


Carolyn Wiesbrock   {K:14051} 8/4/2005
This is fabulous in b/w, really creates a mood here. I don't think it's too dark; the silouette is perfect for this.

Beautifully done!

Roland Lacson   {K:12214} 8/6/2005
Great silhouette shot, the dark portion in the upper right dosen't really detract the photo overall in fact I believe it adds mood to the composition. Warm congrats on the award & thanks much for the comment to my image, best wishes Jeanette.

Another superbly captured scene.
I like the expression of contrasting moods.
Congratulations on BIP
Emgy


T L   {K:18928} 8/6/2005
It depends on the monitor.. for me it's not too dark anywhere. It's simply great, and has a great effect. congrats.


Hugo de Wolf   {K:184670} 8/6/2005
Really? Don't think so, Jeanette... It's a great shot, and the darkness has just about enough contrast with the silhouet to make the individual shapes distinguishable. Besides, the darkenss also creates an element of harmony within the shot and it fits with the overall feel of the composition. I think it's an excellent choice.

Cheers,

Hugo


Randy Lorance   {K:24958} 8/6/2005
Congratulations on truly what is one of the best in project photos. Great individual silhouettes as well as the whole, they create an almost whimsical look.

What a beautiful and brilliant shot . . . no limit to the things one could compliment on this one . . . perspective and contrast of light and dark are especially appealling and you captured the movement and sense of weightlessness perfectly.

Carlos     {K:12969} 8/11/2005
While in Lisbon I met with my friend Pedro Murias, http://www.usefilm.com/image/882555.html a photographer I had initial known true Usefilm? we met on several occasions, had some meals, went out together on ?photographic expeditions?. Besides being a wonderful fellow and a fine photographer Pedro is a professional writer, a culture vulture, an admirer of fine art?

Once sitting in café chatting about some of the art and artists of Usefilm, Pedro asked me if I was aware of the amazing work of Jeanette Hägglund, a Swedish woman, he said, who not only puts out ?consistently first class work? but also a woman who?s incredibly beautiful?

Anyway I thought you may get a smile over what some boys, sometimes, talk about in Lisbon cafés ? Art and Beautiful Women!

And yes, this is a GREAT piece!

? very nice to ?see you? Jeannette? ;-)

C


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/11/2005
Hola Carlos, i have truly missed you all this time and are very glad to hear from you again! I?m very flattered by your "gossip" from the café!!!! wow .....
I haven?t been here for some day?s and have not a clue who and what's in here on UF right now and if you have posted any image. I will take look!!!! :)

Un beso!

Jeanette


Kes     {K:18221} 8/12/2005
One hundred comments!!!

"I know some might think it?s a little too dark in the upper right corner... "

Great choice in leaving it. I think it adds to the photo a sense of direction...and drama...the people are moving towards the dark unknown...

Congrats!


Larissa Nazarova   {K:12096} 8/13/2005

Mary Vareli   {K:15816} 8/25/2005
I can only gape in admiration... a fantastic image that has the quality of classic photographs. A sense of movement and continuation , beautiful tonality and framing as well as line distribution...I am impressed! I like the dark upper part as it is like the people are being projected in heavens enchanted by their linear procession..
missed you..

I am getting DIZZY what an outstanding capture 7+ nice work Justin


Maryam Ashoori   {K:2171} 8/30/2005
Simple shot but great idea! I like the way you perform most of ur works just by choosing a different view of some facts. Many thanks for ur nice comment on my "dark harmony". it's Strange mixture, u're right. But the problem is just unawareness ;)

Maryam


Jeanette Hägglund   {K:59796} 8/30/2005
Yes you are right Maryam about the unawareness!!! Therefore i think your shot are even better... it make a good contrast in a strange way and thats also make it stong!

Jeanette


martino balestreri   {K:751} 8/30/2005
mi inchino davanti a tanta maestria! Bravissima!


Anindya Maity   {K:6436} 9/1/2005
Fantasstic silhouette !!The dramatic sky,the figures,the low angle, the feeling of motion,the part of the roof in the corner all make this such a wonderful composition.


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30021} 9/7/2005
Hey!!!! Now I'm jealous...lol. Congrats on the BIP. We just visited the faire this weekend and I took a bunch more shots of other sets of these swings and tried to get a silhouette -- now I must go work on some of those. There is now quite a collection of these swings and we could almost form a club. I'm planning to put the collection together in a composite soon. Would you mind if I include yours as well? Cheers, Antonia


Antonia BauerleinSehnert   {K:30021} 9/7/2005
p.s...I forgot to tell you... great work!!!!!! The clouds are wonderful and I love this. Antonia


 LGreget   {K:18536} 9/7/2005
I loved this ride as a child. I believe it was called the Yo-Yo. I love this abstract. The shilhouettes against the cloudy sky look great. Yes a little dark in the upper right hand corner, but at the same time the darkness works well here as if to give the viewer a feeling of the unknown around the corner. Marvelous. Into my favorites and a big SEVEN PLUS!


Mohamed Banna   {K:34207} 9/7/2005
CONGRATULATIONS IS MY SECOND COMMENT ABOUT THIS MASTER PIECE

Hi Jeanette,

Lovely, I too don't think this is too dark in the corner, it's sending them up to somewhere unknown, and a great sense of flight too,

Regards and congrats on the BIP

Melanie


Mirek Towski   {K:10178} 9/28/2005
Excellent composition. The people arrive from lower left corner and seem to be ejected out of the frame on the upper right, very powerful and interesting effect. The dramatic sky gives an atmosphere of something imminent and unexpected to happen. Very good job!
