Autumn mood, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

It was cold...
The light was sad and grey...
The city was like stopped, already waiting for better days...
People were going back home...

Hej St廧hane,
Very well seen and captured, this wall with the stairs. Despite the grey and sad light, you managed to get some very appealing warm colours in the photo, not only of the wall, but also the tree. The two people in the otherwise empty street are a wonderful addition. Very well done and thanks for sharing!
Hilsen,
Lars

Hi Stephane,
Not only the light and the colours, but also the two men represent the autumn-mood.
Laborious are they walking upstairs worrying about the long and cold winter that is to come soon.

Hello Stephane,
Nice composition with the tree on the right, the people on the left and the lamp in the center. The colors fit really well to the title. Well done.

Salut St廧hane,
Il y a d'abord la couleur et la texture des pierres, puis l'oeil suit les rampes et bute sur les deux personnes, revient sur l'arbre et le banc et finit sur le lampadaire.
Tout un voyage dr犨ement bien organis� sur une photo !!
Du grand art

Salut St廧hane...
en vitesse (du travail nocture sur le feu...). J'aime le croisement de ces vies humaines dans ces escaliers. Cette diagonale de marches est belle et le cadrage bien que particulier (on ne voit pas le haut de l'escalier... l'arriv嶪) me pla褾嶲alement... Car on ne sait jamais vraiment o� se trouve l'arriv嶪... !
Belle ambiance maussade. Contraste int廨essant avec arbre puissant en couleur sur la droite (qui se marie bien avec les couleurs du tableau aussi).
Je trouve quand m瘱e un c矌� lumineux dans ces murs ocres qui ne sont pas gris (as expected).
Amicalement, buenas noches

seb_p (498) 2007-01-29 17:57

Quel ambiance Stephane! La couleur de la brique qui s'harmonise avec la nature, l'effet qu'apporte les gens dans les marches, le lampadaire comme point centrale de ta composition: la perfection! Bravo.

Il faisait froid, mais quel chaleur d嶲ag� par cette photo!

� la prochaine,

Seb..

Greg1949 (9011) 2007-01-29 18:45

Very nice, if it were my shot I would print and frame it and hang it on my wall. I think in a single word it is "intriguing"

Salut Stephane,
Superbe atmosphere dans ce cliche. La composition, couleur, les 2 personages a l'attitude "triste"... tout cela en effet reflete l'automne... tres belle photo!
Merci

Bonjour Stephane,
I enjoyed the zig-zag movement as my eyes moved up the frame following the footsteps of the two gentlemen and the very lovely varieties of ochre on the wall. The whole scene is very soothing indeed. Lovely shot!! All good wishes.

Hi St廧hane,
a cool shot with a nice graphism following the lines of the stairs. The persons are a great addition and they are taking a very good position.
Great composition and POV.
It doesn't look that sad for me like you write in your note.
Best wishes,
Nino

Jolie image d'automne. Les escaliers et les personnages donnent une belle harmonie avec les couleurs.

Bonsoir St廧hane
Bon cadrage avec le symb犨e < dans cette composition.
J'appr嶰ie les tons chauds de la pierre qui est similaire � celle de l'abbaye de Fontfroide du c矌� de Narbonne.

john_c (24666) 2007-01-30 17:29

Hi Stephane,
The winter light provides great definition here, and there is superb graphism. The tree enhances and helps balance the frame, with the people traversing the stairs warming things. I don't see sadness here, but rather the quiet comings and goings of people, with warm stone facades that blend well with the lingering autumn leaves of the tree. Very fine work, Stephane.]
John

emjleclercq (15778) 2007-01-30 17:36

Tr廥 jolies couleurs d'automne, celle de la pierre se marie tr廥 bien avec l'arbre sur la droite. L'escalier doit beaucoup � la pr廥ence des deux pi彋ons en train de monter, chacun sur sa vol嶪 de marches.

Bien cordialement,

Emmanuel

Salut Stephane,
UNe chouette photo urbaine qui repose sur le beau graphisme de cet escalier et l'animation apportee par les deux personnages, ca manque peut etre un peu de lumiere et de sharpening, mais ca donne une ambiance hivernale.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

jafadabret (56501) 2007-01-31 12:00

L'image est bien construite avec ces vol嶪s de marches et les personnages qui le montent (tu aurais pu nous mettre des mannequins !). Les couleurs sont sourdes et la composition rigoureuse. L'arbre, le banc et le lampadaire jouent bien les accessoires.
Jacques

jinju (14265) 2007-01-31 21:11

Hi Stepan,

veru nice work. Simplicity in the way you composed this. I like all those lines both in the stairs and the brickwork as well as the addition of human life. Whats a city without people anya. The colors are pleasant, nicely saturated, rich.

JCG (35153) 2007-02-01 5:55

Bonsoir St廧hane,

Un bel 廦uilibre des 幨幦ents dans l'image c'est tr鋊 agr嶧ble � d彋ailler. J'aime beaucoup cet ensemble de droites. Bonne gestion de la lumi鋨e pas si triste que 蓷 je trouve et qui donne des couleurs chaudes et douces. Une belle r嶧lisation, bravo.

Avec toutes mes amiti廥 et une bonne soir嶪,

Jean-Charles

abulafia (4900) 2007-02-01 12:55

Hello Stephane
As always it is really nice to visit your gallery to see what you have framed. I like the way you always manage to capture and highlight details that i would never have recognized.
This scene is perfect, with the two guys moving up the stairs at this quiet scene, and i love the autumn colors, specially the red leaves on the tree in the right.
Good job
Harry

capthaddock (28790) 2007-02-01 17:56

Hi Stephane - very artistic detail, the tight crop works well, even the dull light has a favourable effect here, keeping shadows out and the brown colours in harmony.

vinicio (23423) 2007-02-02 8:37

A true beautiful composition with beautiful architecture and perspective and wonderful autumn colours, complients Stephane and excellent photo.
Ciao
Vinicio

keribar (43841) 2007-02-03 1:57

Salut St廧hane,
Une photo dans le genre que j'adore. Malgr� les couleurs ternes, elle a toujours beaucoup de charme, par le fait que tu as su saisir un 幨幦ent architectural en y ajoutant les deux personnages aux bons endroits. Bravo - Izzet

TeresaT (10806) 2007-02-06 17:36

Hello Stephane,
The title fit on perfection with this photo...it is really Autumn mood with this warm colours.
The way you've composed this photo is fantastic because we start loooking from down, then we climb the stairs to the top with our eyes.

teresa

Angshu (56760) 2007-02-07 3:33

Hello Stephane
Marvellous composition! The diagonals of the stairs, the men climbing in opposing directions, the dull colours of the stone & the overall lack of light...this goes well with your note too! Excellent!!
Regards
Angshu

coco (30439) 2007-02-07 9:44

Hi Stephane.

Very nice picture with a good composition and graphism.
The stairs and the people going up make a nice effect where also the light is good.

Regards.

sufi (9588) 2007-02-11 0:29

Merhaba St廧hane, my friend...
It's a perfect composition indeed... It's very dramatic and artistic too... The autumn colors, the texture of the wall and the light are wonderful... Also wonderful point of view... Well done, my friend...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

sevman13 (553) 2007-02-13 15:15

hi Stephane,

Salut St廧hane,

Composition simple mais efficace ; m瘱e les couleurs de ces vieilles pierres rappellent celles de l'automne. Beau travail !

Cordialement, Fran蔞is

gramma (3519) 2007-03-25 3:52

Bonjour St廧hane,

En regardant ton image, j'ai l'impression de voir au travers des personnes qui grimpent ces escaliers, la sc鋝e d'un automate. Ceci pour tedire que ta composition est tr鋊 plaisante et que j'appr嶰ie ton image. Cordialement,

Christophe

Vato_Law (12732) 2007-07-28 12:43

Hello Stepan,
The light couldn't be the best, but here it's perfect for the mood of this photo. There is a feeling of emptyness and loneliness although we cansee those persons on the stairs and this low light is quite important for this atmosphere.
I like this empty bench on the lower part of the photo and the diagonals of the stairs as also the patterns made by the rocks composing the walls. The strong colours are great too.
Cheers.
Paulo

Bruno40 (6662) 2007-09-14 1:36

Hi Stephane,
Browsing in your gallery I found this jewel, great autumn mood, very well composed, razor sharp, and of nice warm colours.

Hi Stephane,

Very nice capture of Karluv Most. This the best place in Prague if you wanna feel autumn.

romanaa (8430) 2008-04-02 11:11

Hello Stepan,
I prefer your user name spelling, which looks more similar to Czech.
Very nice image of this well known place. I like the way the bent heads of the men correspond the rather sad autumn atmosphere.
Well done
Best regards from the Czech Republic
Romana

Curioso (9271) 2008-04-08 11:05

Comme ta photo Chinoise, j'adore le graphisme. C'est excellent. Ces personnages qui grimpent comme des Shadocks sont un peu myst廨ieux, o� vont-ils ? Et l'harmonie des teintes est presque parfaite (la capuche fluo que j'ai vu au dernier moment...) !

Felip (3907) 2008-04-09 9:00

What a magical picture Stephane. Two lonely people climbing by the deserted stairs, with the only witness of a tree with beatiful autumn colours. What an eye, my friend, what an eye! :P

All the best

Felip

Well done!
