Bonsoir Karina,

Superbe ce tunnel de lumi鑽e, on croirait � un ciel 騁oil�... Le N&B me pla羡 bien avec ces quelques personnes que l'on voit plus loin. L'encadrement noir met en valeur la compo.

Amicalement,
St駱hanie.

Wow, just an incredible surreal picture. The kissing couple on the left adds a nice touch to it, especially because all the other people are blurred out.

Hello Cessy,
What a magical photo! The POV looking into the tunnel is wonderful, and so is the depth, capturing the people walking in the far background. The DOF makes the lights seem more dense as they get farther away, and it creates a fabulous pattern of white points. It is also great that you could capture the kissing couple on the side. The B/W is perfect. Very well-composed!

Hi Cessy,
Very nice picture! The tunnel of light is also the tunnel of love...;-)
Nice subject and good technic !

Hi Cessy,
just like in a movie scene, and this feeling is enhanced by your frame.
Stars everywhere around the lovers.
Perfectly achieved!

The black high and low layers gives a cinematographic apparence to the photo. It has a lot of deph and movement thanks to that not centered POV. In this case, B&W is better that colour.

berseph (1758) 2006-10-29 14:28

Wow; this is great. I love the effect of the lights. its beautiful and remarkably clear. The couple makes this picture though. I like the framing--makes it look like it is right out of a movie.

Hi,

A splendid occasion to make great shots, this event. Nice framing/composition and great light. B/W works very well here.

coco (30439) 2006-10-29 15:41

Hi Cessy.
As your previous shot an amazing "experiment". Here the black and white looks superb and also the perspective created by the corridor.
And, of course, the couple adds a lot of interest.

Regards.

Magnifique

Hi Cessy!
This is definitively an "out of this world" photo! Truly! Amazing amount of lights! I think you put a very fitting black frame to that beauty! Very good point of vew with the curve in the tunnel. The child in me who is never really far away is just gaping. My only wish would be that the couple being a little bit closer.
But great! As usual with you! Thanks!
Claire

Very nice romantic photo, Cessy, a Hollywood producer couldn't have come up with a better setting for the moment ;o) Again you made a good use of this tunnel of light for a pleasant photo; the moment is good even at a discrete distance from the couple.

jasmis (58653) 2006-10-30 4:23

Great idea and quite extraordinary place. Nice compo, as well. Regards.

jinju (14265) 2006-10-30 5:35

Spectacular place! The thumbnail was so good, and it doesnt didappoint me at all. The light and dark look fantastic in b/w as does your elongated format that brings to mind a movie. One nit pick, if I may: Id love to see the couple take a more prominant pisition in the foreground.

Hi Cessy,
Lovely, this looks like Christmas fairy ! Very beautiful tunnel of light where the kissing couple adds a plus to turn it into the tunnel of love (Dire Straits).
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Cessy, a very nicely observed photograph. Quite touching too. Clearly, the repetition of the image makes it work in black-and-white. Perhaps - just perhaps - it would have been better to have been a little closer to the couple as I do find them competing for attention with the building that is visible to the right of the frame. But, then again, it is difficult to be such a close observer to genuinely spontaneous intimacy. By the way, would you recommend the Tokina 12-24? For the occasional use it will have, I don't think I can justify twice the price for a Nikkor. Best wishes Stephen

Steft (6109) 2006-10-30 7:46

Hi Cessy,
Very artistic photo; it's art. I like the black and white colours, the depth. It's just perfect.
Stef

alekpet (4663) 2006-10-30 8:12

Hi Cessy.

I think the choice of BW is perfect for this image. It looks cosmic with the cosmic experience of a kiss.
The angle and movie format are great!

Salut Cessy
Etonamment je pr馭鑽e cette version N/B de cette oeuvre. Le c� f馥rique ressort beaucoup mieux, il y a une ambiance de f黎e qui ressort tr鑚 bien. Et la pr駸ence de ce petit couple d'amoureux apporte beaucoup.

cobraphil8 (84) 2006-10-30 10:31

Salut Cessy,
c'est une composition extraordinaire que tu nous as fait l�, en plus ce couple qui s'embrasse dans le coin... On se croirait sur une autre plan鑼e.

Hi Cessy
It's crazy, last night Toni & I had a night out without the kids and didn't even think to see if there was something on in Geneva.
This is so spectacular. So much depth too. Great to have the couple embracing.
Regards
Nikki
