Hi Fabrice,
excellent light with the sun shining on the grass and the dark buildings and clouds in the background. Beautiful shot, compositionwise and technically flawless!
Regards, Johannes

Hello, Fabrice!
The same situation you can see in Dublin during lunch time.
Sometimes is really hard to find a place on green. :)
Excellent photo, keep up the good job!

Hi Fabrice
This image just portrays what is happening around major cities, when an office worker, sitting all day on an office chair, staring at a computer and being surrounded by lifeless stuff can come as close as possible to nature with just bending to sit down on the grass. It was a nice idea to post it and the contrast with the heavy, dark sky accentuates the fact that people are enjoying themselves and are not really in a hurry to go away, in case it rains,

Excellente composition et POV. J'aime le contraste entre le ciel et immeubles gris/foncees et la luminosite des gens sur le gazon.
amicalement,

bonjour Fabrice - I am not sure why this wonderful urban composition has not attracted more attention - it is another TE mystery to me - I think your idea is wonderfully realised - the sense of an impending storm - the towering buildings and all the human interaction going on below - I really like this image - it contains a lot of power for me!

Hi Fabrice,

that's one of the things I like at the western people: the lunch on a lawn in the park. In my country, for example, you are forbidden to walk on the grass in the park. Different ways of understanding life, right?:P Very good composition, the office building accentuates the work lunch. Well done.
