Cool shot!!! Fabulous flowing/flashing/fahrendes yellow!!!! Really like the static person, it adds 'contrast' (in color as well as movement) to the image, but to me it looks more like a guy... ;-D!!! (You didn't jump in front of the camera yourself now did you....??!!). Excellent composition... well done!!

Kiarang Alaei {K:48318} 11/30/2005

Great imagine, thoughtful shot. exellent and craetive idea!

Omar Rifaat {K:10135} 11/30/2005

great capture! the bright yellow adds to the juxtaposition. creates the feeling of being hopelessy trapped in a modern machine world

Todd Miller {K:16461} 11/30/2005

awesome shot of the u-bahn(?) thilo...love that yellow and all the horizontals. the crisp detail on the moving train vs. the soft motionless lady is ironic and works great.

one thing that i'll always remember from my trip to Berlin is that voice... 'Ausstieg links'

Jeanette Hägglund {K:59796} 11/30/2005

Yepp - this went straight into my favorites... COOL! I like the lonely feeling, the composition and his thoughtful pose mixed with the moving train. Just excellent!!!! 7+++

Thilo Bayer {K:50301} 11/30/2005

Hey Todd,

it seems you've been to Germany ;-)

Nowadays they say "Ausstieg in Fahrtrichtung links" =)

Magnus Beierlein {K:1641} 11/30/2005

Together with some of your NYC shots this is probably the best I've seen from you......the motion yellow and the Liam Gallagher look is totally awesome....a fav for sure

Magnus

PS. I once was caught in the Berlin subway/train for riding without paying....I was taken to an office and the man took my passport. He told me the fine was 200 DM.....i finally got off the hook by playing the dumb Swede...

Todd Miller {K:16461} 11/30/2005

i had to look up Fahrtrichtung!
anyways, i was in Berlin for about 5 days a couple of years ago. and spent 2 rainy days in Munich a few years before that. i LOVED Berlin...and am enjoying your pics from there. i could go for a berliner weisse and some currywurst right about now!

Hi Thilo,
I really like this one! The composition and the colouring are wonderful. I can sense the speed and some confusion or tension from the girl because of it.
I still don't understand how anyone can make anything out of the rating system we have here?
I know it is weighted to try and compensate for people who rate too high all the time. I really can't see how the rating numbers are relevant.
For this reason, I never rate anyones images. I think I have only rated a couple during my first few days using this site.

Mark Beltran {K:32612} 12/1/2005

Makes it either way...is she moving, or the yellow train.

Gayle's Eclectic Photos {K:91033} 12/1/2005

Splendid achievement, Thilo. Technically accomplished with a real emotional charge. I love this kind of photography!

Robert Kocs {K:89061} 12/1/2005

First, congratulations for the well deserved BiP award!
It's a really nice & impressive work dear Thilo. Love the blurry yellow tones and very nice horizontal lines. Very creative composition, lovely abstract work! Great work! 7+++

Have a nice day!

Thilo Bayer {K:50301} 12/1/2005

Hey Magnus,

good to know! Next time I'm trapped into such a situation, I will play the dumb ... Franconian? =)

Well, originally I'm from Spätzlecountry.

Thilo

Thilo Bayer {K:50301} 12/1/2005

Hey Todd,

maybe we should do that together some time ;-)

Thilo

Thilo Bayer {K:50301} 12/1/2005

Hi Andre,

agree with every word. I don't rate as well. The reason why I allow ratings with my images is: I don't know. =)

Hi Magnus,

{K:55493} 12/1/2005

Hi Thilo,
I've thought about taking the ratings off of mine at times. Not because they are low, (I think too high compared with some people's) Somehow it doesn't seem fair that some images can show a 6.5 rating with 3 or 4 positive comments, when a really great shot will only register a 5.6 with 40 positive comments. maybe I just have to learn how to interpret the rating?

Uwe Bachmann {K:10222} 12/2/2005

auch wenn die idee nicht wirklich neu ist überzeugt sie hier durch die wenigen farben, die kontraste und die haltung deines lieblingsmodells, die sehr schön eine gewisse verlorenheit in der großen stadt symbolisiert. schon gut gemacht thilo und gratulation zum verdienten award....

vg, uwe

Paul's Photos {K:34954} 12/2/2005

excellent image, definitely deserves the BIP... you have taken a common theme composition and made it unique, she really stands out and the image is nicely captured..... love the colors as well, great work.....

NN {K:26787} 12/2/2005

Hi Thilo! 6 favs speaks its own language - and the award - congrats! I see the passing subway as life, passing by too fast, when we stop to think. Fabulous contrast in movement and colours!

Great work, congrats for this BIP
Many regards

Carsten Ranke {K:14453} 12/3/2005

Well seen, good use of motion blur, well composed/ cropped. I thought about a B&W, but the strong yellow is an extra nice stylistic element, IMO.
This zoom range is perfectly suitable for this kind of shot. My 10-22 lens is mounted all the time...

Cheers

Carsten
