Not sure about Lazlo, but I liked the shot a lot. The geometry, the balance of the umbrella and its shadow, the position of the figures, symmetric wrt to the shadow, but not the umbrella -- it all works wonderfully, for my taste. best, mishka Lazlo Moholy Nagy, maybe? Regards Albano

Hi! I know it is one of the most criticized approaches, but on the other hand no faces are shown, so I suppose I will force my conscience to be silent. Anyway, here for your enjoyment one of my better shots from the last film I processed. Though heavy this Soligor zoom performs quite decently...

I like it, Boris. Specifically, I like the repeated circular form of the umbrella and it's shadow. I think I like the second person in the photo because it repeats the form (vertical line) of the first person. Does it work? I wonder whether the umbrella is popping out enough? Not quite. But,

I like it a lot. I don't really think of it as street photography (and I say that not as a criticism, just an observation). It's more architectural insofar as the subject of the shot is the plaza, and it's geometrical lines. The two people, and the umbrella are integral parts of the photo to me

Yes, that's the photographer to whom I referred. I remember a great BW shot from a radio tower looking down on a plaza with umbrellas and striking shadows. Albano Garcia wrote: Lazlo Moholy Nagy, maybe? Regards Albano --- Dan Matyola [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nice shot, Boris. I reminds me

Hi! You make a perfect sense to me, Frank. Well, not you, but you said, that is grin. Indeed, I was looking out of the window with the camera in hand and then I saw these two women walking. And then I saw the umbrella. Then I saw to which direction they were walking and almost immediately
