A WHITE DJELLABA,PLEASE SIR.., a photo from Qena, Inland

Photographer's Note

this pic was taken during the long waiting to pass the channel on Nile;I am sure every visitor had such memories.
the boy was trying hard to sell some goods and asking everyone about their needs.his face looked very desperate to me;I felt he has to sell somethings urgently,for solving an important trouble.

Merhabalar Nejat bey,
Güzel bir kompozisyon, çocuğun acıklı yüzü insanın hakikaten içinde kalıyor.. sepia tonlama buna daha da iyi vurgulamış..
tebrikler, selamlar..

Hi Nejat.
i think you've found a really good POV for this one and you've also managed to capture the expression of the yound seller very well ! The sepia treatment is very well done and fits very well with such kind of picture. Thanks a lot for sharing !

Nice pov, very touching kid.
TFS, Al.

bertolucci (14052) 2005-11-18 13:42

Hi Nejat, there's indeed a sense of drama in this capture. The effect of the expression of the boy on the atmosphere of this picture is made stronger by the top-down PoV and the harsh highlight on his merchandise. Very well photographed,
Have a nice weekend,
Bert

Merhaba Nejat,
SUPERB capture of this desperate boy! Sometimes the long waitings give us good oportunities for wonderful shots.
The B&W goes very well with this dramatic ambiance and the POV from above is excellent. The composition with those feet on the top and the strutural pilar is very good as well. I like your analise in the note. Congratulations!
Thanks,

Best regards,
Ricardo

markpanos (1977) 2005-11-26 15:24

Indeed, the things you tods us in your intro are really reflected in the boy´s face

In very good moment you shot.

Good job File mou ("my friend")

pascalmoret (1711) 2005-12-02 15:10

Hi Nejat. Excellent picture of a daily life scene. I particularly like the fact that the picture is taken from above, which intensify the dramatic aspect.
Well done, Pascal

Rui (6) 2005-12-05 18:15

Hi Nejat !
The fact of this photo have been done from superior plan, accents more the social division of the people... the expression and the gestures are of pure desperation... great work... portray the unjust world where we live... another favorite !
All the best,
Rui

jbweasle (9393) 2005-12-19 5:44

Theres a lot of feeling in this picture with the expression on the boy's face. As you say, he looks desperate to sell something. Indeed maybe he will be in trouble at home if he doesn't. Such is the way with children when they are sent to work. They are instilled with fear to make them try harder - what a terrible childhood this must be. The perspective from above works well here to show the boy looking small and to give a sense that he is pleading with you, ready to throw himself at your feet.

dada (1135) 2006-01-11 13:54

great picture, very good choosing sepia tones, I like a lot that "decisive moment", you really caught his "desperation"... I will take this in my fav:)
