Nice capture...I feel as if I have been taken back in time here.

Paul van der Meer from Netherlands
Sfeervol Alphons, heerlijk om even terug in de tijd te gaan! Mooi de druppels die terugkaatsen van de grond! Roept dezelfde sfeer op als een foto van Cartier Bresson dus een foto naar mijn hart!
20 Nov 2008 10:20pm
@Paul van der Meer: Vooruit, maak maar een vergelijking, zeg. Overigens even een beetje rustig plaatje na dat van gister. Was ook nodig. (Zoveel betrokken reacties, nooit verwacht). Gr. Alphons
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
You have processed it giving a real nostalgic look, cool..!
20 Nov 2008 10:40pm
@Observing: I like the nostalgic feeling myself. But there is no processing. It's a one to one copy of an old photo in B&W of mine. Thanks for your comment en visiting. See you again.
@Alun Lambert: Thank you. See you again.
@Laurent: Thanks. Bye.
@ninni: It IS an old photo of mine. Thanks for visiting. Bye.

Tyson Williams from Toronto, Canada
Excellent capture!
I was in Venice recently, really neat city.
21 Nov 2008 12:47am
@Tyson Williams: Peculiar athmosphere overthere, isn't it?
Thanks for your compliment. See you again.
Grahame from Mt Maunganui, New Zealand
An interesting photo.
Because it is so "alien" to my environment I have no idea what this gent is up to.
But it lets me create stories in my mind.
And the tape on his face ??
Thanks.
21 Nov 2008 1:22am
@Grahame: It is a old man, in the '70-tees, in Venice, Italy. It is a very hot day and he is seeking for some refreshment. Around his mouth he has a plaster.
Thanks for comment and your visit. See you again.
Denise from Perry, United States
What a fantastic photo, the dripping water, hunched figure, what character!
21 Nov 2008 1:32am
@Denise: Very much thanks for your compliment. See you again.
Charles from New York, United States
I love this shot. It really tells a story. Nice capture.
21 Nov 2008 1:45am
@Charles: Thanks for your compliment. See you.
akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
This old backet in aluminium gives an antique feeling to the picture. Beautiful.
21 Nov 2008 1:46am
@akarui: It IS an old photo of mine from about 1970.
Thans for comment and visit.
Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, Canada
Het zeer interessante werk. U maakte tot het blik oud met uw behandeling.
21 Nov 2008 2:30am
@Wolfgang - vu@granby: De foto is NIET behandeld. Het is een oude foto, die ik, in ZwartWit, heb genomen in omstreeks 1970.
Dit is een één op één kopie.
Bedankt voor commentaar en bezoek. Tot ziens.
@Siam: I've tried a real streetphoto. Thanks.
Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
Wat een geweldig moment heb je hier gevangen! Ik vind 't zo leuk dat het een echt heertje is, mooi in het pak en een mooi hoedje op. Toch niet gemaakt in Nederland denk ik? De zwart/wit omzetting past er perfect bij en benadrukt het nostaligisch sfeertje. Wat heeft hij trouwens in zijn gezicht, pleisters? Arme ziel.
21 Nov 2008 3:35am
@Monique: De foto is gemaakt in Venetië omstreeks 1970. Hoewel een straatfoto heb ik toch gestreefd naar een 'klassieke' compositie. Probeer ik wel vaker, maar lukt niet altijd. Het mannetje vond ik inderdaad heel leuk. Iemand merkt op : doet denken aan Charlie Chaplin. Hij had inderdaad een grote pleister rond zijn mond.
Dank je voor je bezoek. En een prettig weekend.
@Michael Skorulski: It was for me, when I was 'classical' aged: 1970. Thanks for the compliment. See you again.
@One: Thank you for the compliment. See you.
Peety from Amersfoort, Netherlands
Great composition.. Je ziet dat niet meer en heel mooi gedaan.
(fijne weekend)
21 Nov 2008 5:51am
@Peety: Dank je wel, en het hetzelfde. Tot ziens.
Zygene from morlaix, France
Waouh, ta photo est vraiment magnifique, j’y vois comme une atmosphère a le Charlie Chaplin
21 Nov 2008 5:51am
@Zygene: Indeed there is some real resemblance. His hat and his walkingstick.
Thank you for your compliment. See you again.
Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
Perfect use of B&W. This is a great image.
21 Nov 2008 6:03am
@Steve Rice: Thanks for your comment. See you again. Bye.
Lydie et Roland from BESANCON, France
Strong picture ! May be I'd prefer it a bit more contrasted... But anyway it's a good shot !
21 Nov 2008 6:37am
@Lydie et Roland: May be you're right. But it's a one to one copy of one of my old photos ( 1970).
Thanks for comment and visit. See you.
@Rags: It was a touching scene. Thank you.
kerfendal from Paris, France
great shot, seems of the 19th century, really great composition
21 Nov 2008 8:26am
@kerfendal: Not so old. It's a streetphoto in Venice about 1970.
Thanks for comment and visit.
djedfre from schaumburg, United States
rather strange facial 'apparatus' happening there... perhaps you shouldn't have been so close!
21 Nov 2008 9:58am
@djedfre: I think he has a plaster on his face. Not so close because of the surroundings?
Pamela from Liskeard, United Kingdom
wonderful - so like Henri Cartier-Bresson !!
21 Nov 2008 10:44am
@Pamela: That's a very compliment. Thank you.
@djedfre: Thanks for answering. Bye.
@Pepper: Thanks for your comment and visit.

Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Wonderful tones. What I like most is the sense of mystery. That there is something more happening.
21 Nov 2008 4:46pm
@Michael Rawluk: Is fine there is a little "story" in the picture.
Thank you for your comment and visit. See you again.

Cheryl from Texas, United States
this awsome people shot certainly captures interest, almost tells a story. I don't know what a "plaster" is, it looks like a bunch of band-aids?? I love the architecture of the water fountain also. excellent pp.
21 Nov 2008 10:52pm
@Cheryl: I tought "plaster" was the correct English word. Ment is a "self-adhesive bandage".
Thanks for your comment and visit. See you again.
@Ron: Thank you. See you again.
@Anthony Lambert: Thanks. Se you again.

Dane- Alivia from ST-Etienne, France
une photo émouvante et réaliste, emplie de nostalgie à laquelle le traitement N&B va très bien, il crée une atmosphère particulière, bravo pour cette image. Désolée d'écrire en français, mon anglais n'est pas très bon..
Amicalement.
25 Nov 2008 7:38pm
