Archive 2005 Flor alien Ghent

Harp player of which I do not remember the name but the man, could play really nice and pleasant

The Ghent flora lies is a strong brand. This should stay that way.

More than in the past, the Ghent Florala痴 is expanding to a broad public in the city, the region, the Netherlands and abroad.
Not only during the Ghent Flora lies you can enjoy a floral and plant splendour. Throughout the year there is something to experience, we organize exhibitions, events, visits and lectures ourselves or join in with partners' initiatives.

I hope that you enjoy it

Hallo John,
Een mooi portret van deze harpist die geconcentreerd zit te spelen op zijn grote instrument, dat niet eens helemaal op de foto past, hetgeen echter de compositie sterker maakt. De bloemen zorgen voor een mooi achtergrond en het licht was uitstekend.

Hello John,
I'm sure the music was lovely, and this gentleman looks nice in his pin-stripe suit, but I'm fascinated by his nails. :-) He keeps his nails long to play the harp, and it's unusual to see such long nails on a man. I like the colorful flowers in the background, too.

pierrefonds (113512) 2019-02-23 11:43

Hi John,

you have captured well the action of the musician. The point of view is showing the details of the harp. It is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Dear John,

Lucky us, he is not a HAARP player, only a harp player. ;-) Joking apart, its a nice and simple portrait.

Have a nice WE!

Hello John,
You have taken this photo with your usual sharpness and fine exposure. The composition benefits a lot from the many diagonal lines of the harp's frame and strings. I never realized it's such a perfect instrument for photographs. The colours are well saturated and the red theme that goes through the entire photo makes it very bright and vivid.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello John,
Excellent capture of the harp player concentrating on his music. Nicely cropped and perfectly exposed. Superb rendering of the colours and impeccable clarity.

Royaldevon (85606) 2019-02-24 1:50

Hello John,

I'm not surprised you were inspired to photograph this harpist; he looks interesting in his pin-striped suit, his harp is huge and creates a fine shape and the b/g of flowers is an utter treat.
The photograph is very well composed, with the harpist strongly placed and perfectly connected to the harp. Though you might expect the flowers to be a distraction, they are not, they just link to the colour of his seat and create a pleasing, warm b/g.
Well done!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

alvaraalto (42804) 2019-02-24 5:10

Dag John,
Mooi portret van deze harpist die zijn pak met verticale strepen heeft aangepast aan de verticale snaren van zijn instrument.
Het is een mooie bloemrijke omgeving waarin hij speelt.
Groeten uit Haarlem in een heerlijk lentezonnetje.
groet Rob

ikeharel (112395) 2019-02-24 5:41

An excellent old take upon the harp player, John.
Face expression, the cords and colors were superbly rendered on picture.
Good afternoon,

Hi John,
Nice picture. Any street performer, in any city in the world, is an attractive subject for a photo. They add interest to the everyday life in the public areas.
Best regards

Hi John
A good portrait of the harp player concentrating hard on his work.
cheers

quovadis (5711) 2019-02-24 21:24

Hi John.

Playing the harp is certainly skill in demand, and the sound it produces is unique. To be honest, I see for the first time a man behind a harp, haha...
Yes, in a real life on several occasions, I have seen only ladies playing that instrument, but also in the old movies as far as I do remember. Anyway, a nice shot, well framed in a square box. TFS!!!

By the way, congratulation on your new web site which looks very inviting. All the best to you and your wife.

Hello John, I do not know why, but usually there are young women playing the harp. Here we see a man. I am sure it was a pleasant concert. Excellent portrait.

Kind regrads Malgo

Effective tight framing here with a good portrait of the harpist. Excellent color and saturation with a strong contrasted light. Tfs!

Bella foto, un ritratto ambientato molto bene e di ottima fattura, la concentrazione del musicista � evidente.

maloutim (13617) 2019-03-04 2:57

Hi John,
What a wonderful photograph ! So I guess there was a flora exhibition, and this harpist was playing to entertain the visitors ?
Everything is so clear and bright :
The musician's expression ; he seems to love his music so much !
His fingers on the cords : we would nearly learn the art from the photo !
And the cords are so sharp, letting us see the beautiful flowers through them !
A masterful photo ! Congratulations.
Marie-Louise.

Miguel82 (47110) 2019-10-11 12:13

Hallo John, that musician is playing harp in the event dedicated to flowers. The red flowers around him form an attractive background. That instrument is so delicate and beautiful. Fine colors, good image quality, interesting photo note, regards.
