Scarlet in Grand Popo, a photo from Mono, South

Photographer's Note

Blazing scarlet of a little girl's clothes attracted the eye, so i shot this scene at a distance so as not to interrupt them.
Taken at a courtyard in Grand-Popo, Benin at 17:12.

PS. On the day i took lunch with a friend of mine at a small restaurant. the photos of Delicious Pizza and Lunch Bill have been uploaded for gourmet photographers of TE.

Hisashi-san

カメラを全く意識していない真剣で無邪気な様子が素晴らしいですね。黒人は正直ホワイトバランスが難しくて私は上手く撮れませんが、淡い光の中で完璧に捉えられましたね。傑作です。

Saluti, Nino.

Well done. Best rgds

Hello Hisashi,
Nice kids anjoying friendly games. They have placed themselves very well for your composition and the girl in scarlet is a marvellous eye-catcher. I also like the little boy in the colourful trousers sitting in the sand watching the game. The light is very pleasant and the sharpness is admirable.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Hisashi,
this one is your 300th photo presented on this site. Congratulations on the quality of your works and of your gallery!

I like the spontaneity of the scene that you offer us in this composition, with the children who play in this courtyard, which you have caught in a very adorable image.
The scarlet clothes of the little girl is a real eye-catcher.
Both complementary photos in WS are a good invitation for to taste these pizzas.
A great work.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Hisashi,
A charming portrait of these children quietly playing together. The harsh backlighting was not in your favour but you have managed it well and the image is very successful.

papagolf21 (152607) 2011-03-09 1:39

Bonjour, cher Hisashi,
Tout l'art du photographe est de se faire oublier, eh bien ! ici, vous avez su utiliser cette méthode pour donner ŕ cette composition toute la beauté qu'elle mérite.
Bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

adramad (73030) 2011-03-09 14:51

Hi Hisashi.
A delightful scene, entertaining children in their games, not be aware of the camera, are the best times, so your picture looks so fresh and with a touch of naturalness, certainly the color of the dress of the girl at one point that captures the attention.
I love that pizza is looking at the portrait of WAS., I suppose in a place so far should be your tasting enjoyment.
Ideal brightness and color.
All the best.
Luis.

Hello Hisashi

Beautiful and lovely picture of these children playing. I like the good sharpness but not to strong, the little blurr on the background and the soft light.
Regards
bernard

marcan44 (6315) 2011-09-14 8:45

The best photo are those in which children do not realize the objective is framing them.
In fact, your shot very discreet. The chiloren understand that your presence was not noticed and seem spontaneous and real.
Best regards
Mario
