Great idea Mohammad, it's quite a loss, but atleast he left something behind, some people die without having much to show for their lives... This is an exellent capture, she looks very nice and the composition is great. Just great!

Belle photo pour un bel hommage. j'aime beaucoup la position de la femme assise sur le pas de sa porte, � la fois sereine et concentr馥 sur son tricot.
je pr馭鑽e la version n&b car elle est intemporelle, comme les belles photos.

Great B&W perfectly exposed (and I think it was not so easy) and composed.

Congratulations and welcome back, Mohammad !

Welcome back, Mohammad, and what a fine tribute to HCB. A wonderful daily life portrait, exquisitely framed and well presented in b&w. Well done.

a beautiful tribute... its sort of the thing that Bresson would do. love it... :)

Everywhere he is now . he could be pride of your art . because you respect one of his main law " the natural attitude of the characters pictured"

Hanssie (11022) 2004-08-08 13:57

Hiiii my friend, ten days already gone ? ? ?
I saw your colour-picture, which is in a great sharpness and the composition is so well chosen ! I saw your B/W, same story of course and I do not know, which one I like the best, but after switching I think this is the most, who is "speaking" to me, because of just the B/W. But as said, colour is very nice too, what a difference it can make, isn't it, two same pictures....
Glad you're back with us, my dear friend !

Great tribute to Cartier Bresson Mohammad, i love the picture!

Hola Mohammad:

First of all I am glad you are back!
I hope you had a good time for resting.

Nice posting, and a good tribute to a man.
The B/W works well. She seems to be working but at the same time she gives the impression to be thinking distantly.

Thanks for sahring!

Very nice portrait and use of b/w. Very crisp. The wrinkles of her face are captured very strongly. The wrinkles almost appear carved. The composition worked very nicely, too. Excellent capture here.
