Trčs bel instant capturé, la lumičre est belle, les détails intéressants. Toutefois, les feuilles des "artistes" sont un peu surexposées. Nice pic.

I like the way the both of them look up high to sea the lighthouse. I think that it would be better if you could find an angle where the plant do not hide the left painter.
but again, the way the are both so into the painting, like there is nothing else in the area, is just great!

Very well-framed and colorful shot, Yitzhak, with a lot of nice details. Those two guys are surely focused on their drawing. It is very engaging that we can see on the right painter's drawing board what we can't see in your image. I actually like the kind of "sneaky" viewpoint you chose for this. Well done!

This is different for you. I really enjoy the fact that we can see what one of these artists is drawing. They really seems to be concentrating on there subject. You have timed this very well with both of them looking in the same direction at the same time.

A superb shot Yitzhak.

Effectivement il y'a une légčre surexposition au niveau des feuilles mais les détails et le bon contraste de l'image le fait moins ressentir.
Il a de belles couleurs et le cadrage est trčs bien vu
Bravo Yitzhak

WOW, WOW, and WOW again, Yitzhak!
The first for the composition. A bright pic, suggesting highness. They look upstairs, to a lighthouse. With a lot of details in the foreground, in the horizontal, on the same level - and a lot of vertical lines in the background.
The second for the amazing light on it, and for your perfect balance between light and shadow.
The third for how you make my phantasy work...
In one word: EXCELLENT

Des artistes concentrés devant leur "modčle" en hauteur.
La composition est excellente, ŕ part une légčre surexposition sur la feuille de gauche.
Il semble d'aprčs l'esquisse du peintre de droite que ce phare soit intéressant ŕ photographier.

Artists concentrated in front of their "model" in height. The composition is excellent, except an over-exposure on the sheet of left. It seems according to the draft of the right painter that this lighthouse is also interesting to photograph.

Lovely scenery!! I like it that you chose to take this photo from behind. Also funny that al we see is that blue door.

There is many things going on here, it is a colorful shot, full of details. I like to see the partial sketch of the lighthouse on the right. Well seen.

Good point of view of the two artists. I especially like the fact that we see a bit of the drawing on the man at the right.

The colors are also vivid and the photo full of interesting details.

Excellent, I like it! Different from your usual theme, now this is about people and it comes opurt that you are able to read the body language easily. Congrats!

Very warm image, Yitzhak. Two seniors leaning at the same time on the paper to immortalize the lighthouse has something moving. Blue patches from place to place makes an harmonious composition. Details like hat, water bottle, etc make it also a shot full of life. Represents happiness and serenity to me.

Very busy picture. The two artists bring focus to the blue door even though it is obstructed by a mass of other things. Good colours. Some overexposed parts. Another thing I just read someplace recently was about cropping. You should never ever crop your photos, simply because if you do, there obviously may have something been wrong with the shot to begin with and that's not the idea you want to portray about your work. I personally have not been following this suggestion very closely and thought I would throw this bit of idea in for people to think about. Either way I think this is an interesting subject you got here.
